Troubleshooting remote printing on Dell and Lexmark printers

Troubleshooting remote printing on Dell and Lexmark printers

It is recommended that you use the GoToMyPC Printer with Dell and Lexmark printers instead of a manually enabled printer. You may also need to change the data type for your printer to accept remote print jobs.

  1. Navigate to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.
  2. Select the Lexmark or Dell printer you plan to use.
  3. Select Printer Properties.
  4. Select the Advanced tab and then select Print Processor.
  5. Select NT EMF 1.008 as your default data type.
  6. Select OK.

Results:

Note: Changing the default data type to NT EMF 1.008 should allow you to use the GoToMyPC printer for remote printing, but it could impact your regular print projects. If you notice subtle differences in the color output or have problems with special print features, you will need to change the default data type back to LEMF.
