Hi,
Welcome to Fixya. If you will be using a non Lexmark cartridge definitely you will encounter a printing problem. For your question about a fix on using other brand of cartridge. Unfortunately there is no solution exist it also applies with other printer manufacturer like HP, Canon and like. As you can see there is a chip on the cartridge and the printer that will recognize if you will be using a compatible cartridge. Since lexmark is the manufacturer of the printer they only have the information about the chip program that they are using. Would be better to remove the cartridge that you connect on the printer because it can cause problem on the printer.
Thanks

Problem Blank Pages; Blank Print Out Solution

Symptom

When printing from the S or Pro Series printers, you may encounter blank pages being printed.

Solution

To rectify this issue, please follow the troubleshooting steps below:

Action Image 1

While on the main screen of the printer, open the cover.

• If the printhead stays to the left, go to Step 2.

• Touch Screen Printers:
  • Tap on the Ink Levels icon.
  • Tap on More Options.
  • Select Replace Printhead.
• LCD Screen Printers:
  • Press the Setup button and use the arrow buttons.
  • Select Maintenance.

... 3

Open the covers and look into the printer on the left-hand side where the cartridges are inserted into the printhead - aWICKING PAD is located there.

• If this PAD is BLACK (as seen in the right-hand image; click it for larger view), then the printer has successfully gotten ink into and through the printhead.
• If the PAD is WHITE, then the printer has not been able to make the ink flow through the printhead. Go to Step4.

4 Seat the printhead again. Unpower the printer and connect it again. Open the cover and reseat all four tanks. Press firmly on the rear of each tank and make sure all four snap in tight. ... 5

If you cannot get all four inks to lay clean, identify which one, if any of them, is failing.

• If there is just some ink on the page - run the Deep Clean again.
• If there is no ink at all, then the printhead is faulty.

Hi, Pul the plug for 30 minutes and try agian. By pulling the plug you reset the printer. Next, make sure your paper is in correctly. If it is in incorrectly the feeder will jam. Do not go beyond the feed mark on tray. Good luck.

The error could be due to an outdated firmware version or a poor connection between the printhead and carrier contacts. Follow the steps below to fix the problem:
1. From the printer control panel, press the Setup button > Maintenance > Replace Printhead, or for touchscreen panels, touch Ink Levels > More Options > Replace Printhead. 2. Open the printer cover. Note: If the carrier does not automatically move to the center, turn off the printer/unplug the printer from the power source and then slide the carrier to the center. 3. Press the tab, and lift the latch. Pull up to remove the printhead. Close the printer cover then turn off the printer/unplug the printer from the power source. 4. Turn the printer back on. It will ask you to "Open Cover to Install the Printhead". Press the Cancel (Red X) button or the Home icon for the touchscreen panels. It should take you back to the "Copy" menu. 5. Proceed with the firmware update. Just go to http://bit.ly/p205fw. 6. Once the firmware update is successful, firmly re-insert the printhead.
