The Lexmark X5495 printer is not a wireless printer, however, you have the option to connect it to a wireless print server. You can then connect the wireless print server to your wireless network so all the computers connected to your network will have access to the printer.
To connect the printer to your laptop, please visit the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/hsBChY to download and install the printer driver. Execute the file and follow the instructions on your computer screen.

If you can scan the USB port, it should be OK. If "copy" works correctly and you have recently installed drivers, try resetting your computer and selecting the printer as "default." Check if there is an impediment on the printer panel, blank cartridges or another error. The printer can scan but can not print if it has empty cartridges. Study the user manual on http://publications.lexmark.com/publications/pdfs/2007/5400-plus/v6592051_en.pdf

A print spooler is something that stores your file to be printed, and feeds(spools) it to the printer a little at a time, as the printer says its ready to receive more. These were very important before the mfrs started adding some memory to printers.
if its a necessary step in your system that the file passes thru enroute to the printer, ya gotta have it up and running.
Solutions--
A. Save your file and reboot the system. The spooler should start when your system does.
B. If not, then download the latest version of your printer driver from the mfr website. Install the new version. It will include the spooler.

The question is not very clear. The problem could be hardware and not software. I repair a Epson Stylus CX6600 printer with a similar problem and it was a small hose that had come out of site below the inkjet device. I recommend you find someone who can see the printer carefully.
