Depending on the age of your printer, and overall usage the pickup rollers tend to glaze over with use and age, you could look on ebay for replacement replacement rollers, but before you do, visually check the rollers, this requires the removal of paper from the printer and visually looking into the paper feed area, look for anything that could cause the roller not to function as it should, this could a small piece of paper left over from a previous paper jam to something that got knocked in to the printer.Once this has been checked, insert one sheet of paper and look at the feed operation when you print a "Test Page", check that both rollers are turning freely and not binding. if everything checks out and the rollers need to be replaced, try this before ordering new ones, remove the old rollers and turn the rubber pickup band inside out..I have heard that this worked and depending on your printer usage this could be what gets you by until the new roller arrives..

Leading cause of paper jams is debris/foreign objects that accidentally fell into the paper feed area. Please follow steps below to fix the problem:


1. Remove the sheets of paper from the feeder.

2. Grab a flashlight and look inside the feeder for any debris or foreign objects.

3. If you're willing and physically able, you may also turn the printer over. Any debris should just freely roll out from the feeder.

4. If feeder is clear, place the printer back on the table, open the printer cover and remove the cartridges.

5. Check the cartridge area for any obstructions/debris in the cartridge carrier's path or the paper path.

6. If cartridge area is clear, close the cover.

7. Re-brick your printer. Pull out the power supply, black box where the power cord is plugged in at the back of the printer, and put it back after 30 seconds.

8. When the printer turns on, reinsert the cartridges and load some paper. Try to print a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.

Paper jam on Lexmark X2500. Have tried numerous solutions

Please try this step if it still fails then its the problem with hardware of printer,

1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.)
3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button. (On the X83, press the Select button.)
4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.

If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6.
If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service.
6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
7. Turn the printer off.
8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers.
9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.

Will a mac OS10 10.4.11 operare correctly with a lexmark printer #2500 version

I'm presuming that you have an X2500 printer, right? The only other Lexmark printer with the 2500 is a wheel printer.
If it is indeed the X2500, it should work correctly. If it does not, Lexmark even has drivers for it on the printer's support page: http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?lxkprod=Lexmark+X2500
