The blues were red, the green brown and yellow. This happened after I changed the cyan cartridge. So I bought a new cyan and it is the same. Now in trying to clean the head (thinking it might help), it said not enough black in the cartridge, so I changed the black and now that is not coming out!! Black is now orange! Help!!

Blue and yellow, or cyan and yellow combine to make green. I suspect that the other colors needed for a particular document are empty, or the wrong colors were placed in some slots. I would be surprised if that printer would accept the wrong ink cartridge in a slot though.
Usually this happens in inkjet, when you have a mix of the colors int he cartridge. so, inkject usually have 3 colors, Blue, Yellow, Red. If yellow color finds it's way towards blue, then instead of blue, you will see green.
The magenta cartridge isn't working correctly. This is why you're only getting the other colors (blue is cyan, green is cyan and yellow, and then yellow).
Try removing and reseating the magenta cartridge. If that doesn't work, use a new magenta cartridge (the cartridge itself may have been defective).
I wasn't able to view a manual for this machine, as it's been discontinued and Lexmark no longer offers the PDF on it. If you have a "clean print heads" option, use it. It may require more than one try. If you don't have that option, then all possibilities have been covered.
This is the cartridge color problem, if you've refilled the cartridge, there must be proportion problem (magenta/yellow/cyan), or if you print dark colors like green or blue (which uses cyan and yellow mostly) and never use the red or other color (magenta and black), cyan and yellow might have finished up. If you can refill it proportionately, go ahead, but i would suggest you to purchase new cartridges and install.
Good luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.
You are more than likely out of magenta (red) ink. That printer uses a tri-color cartridge, and it has cyan (blue) magenta (red) and yellow ink. Green is blue + yellow-therefore you do have those two colors; since it will not print anything red or black you will need to replace both cartridges.
the RJ45 wallplate is not meant for ethernet. It's an 8P8C connector for a phone. Will it work as a network jack? Maybe. I wouldn't use it, but if you really want to try, wire it thusly:
1 Blue --- Orange/White 2 Orange --- Orange 3 Black --- Green/White 4 Red --- Blue 5 Green --- Blue/White 6 Yellow --- Green 7 Brown --- Brown/White 8 White --- Brown
I'd still recommend a CAT5 wallplate with a CAT5 jack.
glad you posted what colors you do have , cause 2 resources didn't match ,actually 3 , i did find a match to your colors was a 97 year model premium radio, so we have a match .....

Without knowing what printer you have or what things you have tried I can only guess here. It sounds like you need a new cartridge. A color ink cartridge will have 3 colors of ink for most printers...cyan (blue), magenta (purplish-maroon), and yellow. Depending on what you print it is very possible that you could run out of one of the inks before the others. Printing green can be an indication that you are out of magenta ink. The cyan and yellow inks will combine and look green.
You can remove the cartridge and run a tissue over the printhead and see if you see all 3 colors as a quick test. If you only see cyan and yellow, then the magenta is probably empty or dried up. If you see all 3 colors I would reinsert the cartridge and try printing again. It is possible that the magenta was just clogged and you cleaned it with the tissue. If it still doesn't print all colors your best bet is probably to just get a new ink cartridge.
Cartridges are in correct spots......, have tried much printing.....
