I had a new refurbished cartrige and it says "black cartridge missing", I tried putting in a new lexmak cartridge and it sttill says" black cartridge is missing". I talked to Lexmark support for help, but nothing was resolved over the phone and solutions that they emailed to me. What can I do, Can this be fixed without taking to a businees to have it repaired for more cost than the printer is worth?

that's good..after replacing a cartridge, it's highly recommend to do a clean and re calibrate...you can do this from front panel.

Hi...
Silly question, but I have done this myself. Have you removed the tape from the bottom of the cartridge?

Hi,Ive had this problem a few times with the 2300 series theres no easy answer to it if your getting an unsupported cartridge message or cartridge not recognised you either have an empty or a faulty cartridge,or a damaged contact on the printers ribbon where the cartridge mates to the printer.Bill.

Hi there
This is the same old story with Lexmark printers, you cant do any thing about it the chips have a small fuse inside them and soon as they emty it blows the fuse, and thats it so I beleave the only way is to buy new ink, or a diferent printer.
Not know any fix for them myself sorry.
Can try.
Turn printer off. Unplug power cord and other cables. Wait 30 seconds. Plug cords and cables back in.
Also seen this on the net.
Use clear tape over left hand row of sensors on front of cartridge and re-insert. ink now shows with question mark but reads as full and prints fine.
but yeah, best bet, never ever buy lexmark.....:)

If that doesn't work, try disabling your ink monitoring software.
