Most obvious problem is that the ink heads are clogged, you need to run the nozzle clean utility.
If this fails to work (and may not given the time you say it has been doing this), try again. If after this, it shows no improvement, remove the cartridges, and clean the print heads carefully with a proprietary solution of cleaner. I'd moreover discard the old cartridges and replace them

Hi there, I have a solution for you. Unplug the printer/scanner for 30min. then plug it back in again.
This will reset all functions. The usb cable was good to start with, you didn't have to replace it..
When you run a print over another print it will jam up memory in printer. Clear all print jobs and you will be good to go.

Make sure the Lexmark printer software is installed on your computer. You can refer to the Lexmark 7100 Series User's Guide for the steps on how to scan from the printer to your laptop.

The Lexmark X7170 printer can only scan one page at a time. However, it has the capability of scanning multiple pages using either the scanner glass or through the automatic document feeder. Refer to the Lexmark X7100 Series User's Guide for more information.
For your second question, Yes, you have an option to save your scanned file to a Microsoft document as long as the Lexmark OCR scan software is installed on your computer. The scan software is only available on the installation disc (not available as part of the downloadable driver on the Lexmark website).

Do you get the same result/image when scanning to your computer? Remove the cartridges from your computer. Then close the printer cover.Unplug the power adapter from the printer.


Wait at least 10 seconds before replugging the adapter into the printer. This will give enough time for the printer to reset. When the printer turns on, reinsert the cartridges. Try to make a copy or scan again. If you're still getting the same result, I would strongly suggest you to contact Lexmark technical support for additional assistance.
