Lexmark X4550 number 35 cartridge replacement, getting very fed up, very fast

Bought a number 35 colour cartridge for my Lexmark X4550, this aligns correctly, printing in black and blue, I have run the cleaning program 4 times to get the ink flowing, but........ when trying to print photo's I receive the error "The document failed to print, the ink in the black cartridge is not compatible with photo paper" which is odd as the black cartridge hasn't been replaced and is in fact a Lexmark number 23!!! Also when testing with a word document with a few key words printed in various colours, but the whole document has printed out in black and white only. Help!!!!!!!

It could be that the cartridge has become dry.
you have to try several head cleans using the printer software and if that doesnt help then the cartridge needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: I just replaced the black

I would try to do a printhead cleaning cycle first. Then print an alignment page.
This will result in a good clear alignment page.

On the rare occasion that this happens to me ... after the third or fourth try ... I return the cartridge to the store and complain.

I have poor print quality on my Lexmark 4550

That obviously shouldn't happen. Did you print an alignment page after you inserted the new cartridges? There could also be some clogged nozzles on the new cartridges. If you haven't contacted Lexmark technical support through www.lexmark.com, suggest you do so.
