Prints only parts of document as well as only parts of web pages now i have wrong cartridge flashing

All web based documents, especially bank statements, require a COLOUR cartridge, so if your cartridge is empty, it will print blank pages. Although the font may look black... it is normally NOT. Altentaively you may also need to instruct your printer to print "background images".

Please adjust paper size in printer properties.

Below are 3 possible solutions.

Unexpected page breaks occur

Cause Solution

Job has timed out.

Set the Print Timeout to a higher value:

Blank pages

Cause Solution

Toner is low.

• Remove the toner cartridge from the printer. Shake the cartridge back and forth several times, and then reinstall it.

• Install a new toner cartridge.

Toner cartridge is defective or empty.
Replace the toner cartridge.

Jobs do not print

Cause Solution

Printer is not ready to receive data.

Make sure Ready or Power Saver appears on the display before sending a job to print. Press to return the printer to the Ready state.

Specified output (exit) bin is full. Remove the stack of paper from the output (exit) bin, and then press .

Specified tray is empty. Load media in the tray.

Wrong printer software is installed.

• Verify you are using the correct printer software with your printer.

• If you are using a USB port, make sure you are running Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista and using Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista compatible printer

software.

Cause Solution

Internal print server is not set up properly or is not connected properly.

Verify that you have properly installed the print server and configured the printer for network printing. For more information about installing a network printer, click View User's Guide and Documentation on the Software and

Documentation CD. Copies of the printer software are also available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.

You are using the wrong USB or Ethernet cable, or the cable is not securely connected.

• Make sure you are using a recommended cable.
• Make sure the connection is secure.

For some reason Lexmark has not posted information for this model. If you need a manual you might try the C534 manual at: http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale=en&page=product&productCode=LEXMARK_C534&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_CA&frompage=null#2

You may have a cartrage in the wrong spot like you may have the coler and the black cartrage swithced from where they should be.

Reboot ur printer.

The first thing I thought of when I read your message, was whether or not your replacement cartridges were produced by HP or by another company. Also, was it a brand new cartridge or a refill? While buying ink cartridges from another vendor or "recycled" cartridges may save a buck or two, you can't always rely on the quality of the printouts they produce. If this is the case, try using an HP color ink cartridge and see if that produces better print quality.

If you are using HP ink cartridges, there might be an issue with the contact between the cartridge and carriage. It's an electrical connection and if the contacts get dirty, it can affect print quality...sometimes drastically.

Unfortunately, HP.com doesn't have a web page dedicated just to cleaning these contacts. Fortunately, they included those instructions in the following document:

Replacing the Print Cartridges

When the web page opens, scroll down to the bottom of the page and locate the task, "Fixing error messages that appear after changing a cartridge". This will contain instructions on how to clean those contacts. See if this helps.

If all else fails, try going to the following web page:

Correcting Print Quality Problems

This is sort of a "catch all" web page with a large collection of print quality diagnostic and repair techniques. If you've gotten this far wtihout a solution, perhaps something on this page will help.

Good luck.

You might want to start by doing some general print quality troubleshooting, including printing a test page. The test page should give you an indication if you have issues with print cartridges. Also, some printers may not print at all if even one of their cartridges is empty:

The other thing that occurred to me is that your document feeder could be pulling in more than one sheet of paper at a time, this means it would output blank sheets as well. Here's a web page that describes the problem and what to do about it:

Automatic Document Feeder Error

Hopefully the answer to your problem is available in those web pages. Good luck.

That printer is pretty old. Are you selecting "Best" quality when you print or is it possible that some documents are being printed in Quick Print mode (which puts less ink on the page)? If you're doing the same thing on each print job but the print quality changes, there's definitely a problem. If you're printing from web pages, the print quality may be a factor of the design of the pages. If you print two pages of a multi-page document and quality declines, you should be able to get help through Lexmark's technical support.

hmmm..light printing usually comes from the original resolution of the page. Seems that if your printer is printing a core document well, but the web page is light, that means the fonts on the web page are not dense enough for your printer to do it well. My read is that your printer is doing just what it should be

Here is a link to hp's web site. They will troubleshoot your issue. This link is linked to a page talking about HP Inkjet Cartridges and Media - Missing Color, Wrong Color, or Streaks in the Printout. There are several links in this site to go off of and troubleshoot further.
