Lexmark Printer Status "Stopped" in Azure vs. Online on the Device
We are just starting to try Universal Print. As we are using mostly Lexmark printers, I registered two of them (a small b/w printer and a large color mfp) to check out functionality. Registration for both devices worked flawlessly:
But when I check them in Azure, status for both printers is "Stopped":
Also, for those two printers, I cannot set Printer Defaults in the Printer Settings.
Funny enough, I was able to print from my Windows 10 client in between. At the moment, I cannot print again.
Firmware on both printers is 74.250

Thanks for reaching out and for the specifics you shared. It helped us troubleshoot what's going on.
The printer reported to Universal Print that it's "Stopped". It hasn't reported a reason (out of paper, ink, etc.) and it hasn't updated that state. If restarting the printer (to force a printer state update) doesn't help or if this keeps happening, please escalate to Lexmark. They may need to get some diagnostic info from the printer if they can't figure out what this is happening on their end.
Thanks for the answer. I will escalate via Lexmark and might get back here with either more questions or the solution.
It strikes me a bit strange, that two completely different printers (small b/w printer and large color mfp) have the same problem.
- Thank you.
One thing I would add is, if working with Lexmark doesn't resolve this problem, please open a ticket with Microsoft Support by going to the "Support" section in the Universal Print portal and clicking "Request Support". Let the Support team know what you already did by that point and share the info you got from Lexmark.
I'm looking forward to finding out what the resolution is.
