If you open the panel where you replace the ink cartridges there is a square hole directly behind the control panel. The area gives you enough space to put your hand under the plastic and you will feel what I only describe as a plastic latch, pull it and you should feel the control panel loosen to then be able to close.

Hope this helps...

Step one, do a deep clean printhead, which if you have a touch panel on the printer, go to the ink the ink menu - on the top right of the printer panel, press More Options - then choose the option Deep clean printhead. If you have a non-touch panel printer, press the Setup button, and go to the Maintenance menu, then choose the option Deep clean printhead. If this doesn't fix it then you may need to update the printer firmware. Here is a link: Select your Printer Firmware If that doesn't fix the problem then let me know.

The trouble with most of the printer ink cartridge manufactures is that they have for a number of years made it harder to refill cartridges and want you to buy them new. It will depend on what model of printer as there are certain cartridges that can be refilled only for that model. Also what can affect your being able to refill cartridges is if your printer has had an update to it's own software, not the driver software.

may be there is problem with paper path sensor faulty or maybe broken or may be the problem with power of the paper path sensor there should be 5v dc present on sensor

I would try opening the printer up and blowing it out with a can of air really well , unplug it and then see if it corrects the problem .... if that doesn't work I would call Lexmark's 800 # they are always very helpful!

I have to do this every time I try to print more than one job. Why is this happening? It is very time consuming to restart the pc every time you have to print more than 1 job.

It's also a good recommendation to "Un-install and Re-install your Software/Drivers. This is what we run into a lot when customers change their internet provider.
