Lexmark C500N Printer Problem [View All]

Hello, does anyone have any experience with this printer? It is a laser colour printer which worked fine for two years, then gave me a bit of trouble installing it on a 64-bit Windows 7 system until I found the right driver ........ worked for a while, now the lights won't come on and it stopped printing. When I turn it on the red and green light plus 'error' in the LCD display show for a nano-second, it calibrates and sounds like it's going to work, then ...... nothing.

I've called a Lexmark service provider who tells me it will cost $200 minimum to fix. I can't believe it could work so well one day, then completely give out the next. It's like it's offline.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I can't afford to fix it, yet hate the thought of buying a new one.
