Hi,
Often the software is written for several models.
First, you should clear your print que by deleting all pending print jobs as this can scramble it's brain.
Do that in "printers and faxes" in the control panel.
Remove cartridge and check there are not little bits of plastic or fiber lodged between the cartridge and the printer.
Power off the printer and your pc
power on printer
then pc
see if the error remains
if it persists see if you can run the troubleshooter and clean the printheads
if it does this test your printer now

I hope this is ofsome help.

Lay the picture to be scanned face-down on the glass. Square up the photo using the guides that are usually located along the edges of the scanning bed.

Click the scan button on your computer's scanning software window. Some all-in-one printers need you to press the scan button on the printer itself; check the manual before using.

Get a preview of the scanned image up on your computer monitor. This might happen automatically depending on your software settings; if not, you will have to prompt your computer to display one.

Re-seat the black cartridge and make sure it's properly inserted. If error continues, try to insert a different known working black cartridge to determine if the other is faulty.

if you lost your starter disk you can still download it to internet just type installer/model of your printer.thanks

These new printers register and memorize ink cartridges so that they cannot be refilled the only way to refill them is to never let then run to zero percent once they reach zero the printer prevents them from operating if you do catch them before they rundow they will still run down to nothing but will continue to operate as long as you donot let them run out of ink.

Thumbs Up if Helpful also feedback is appreciated!!!

I'm sorry if I am not following you but can you explain further what you need to do with your Lexmark printer?

A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Simply disconnect the printer from your computer. Reboot your pc. Unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to your computer. Then try to print again once the computer fully recognizes the USB connection.

If that doesn't help, try the steps below:

1. Disconnect the printer from your computer.

2. Rebrick (pull out power supply, black box where the power cord is plugged in at the back of the printer, and put it back after 30 seconds).

2. On your computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.

3. Delete the Lexmark print object.

4. Reboot your pc.

5. When your pc turns on, reconnect the printer.

6. Wait until your pc fully recognizes the USB connection. To check, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes. If you see a new Lexmark print object in the list, then try to print again.

You may also try to update your printer driver by visiting the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/iofMNC. Select your operating system, download and execute the file.

This sounds like a spooler problem on Windows. Make sure the Print Spooler service is enabled. 1. Click on Windows/Start button. 2. Type services.msc in the Start Search box. NOTE: Windows XP users will select Run. 3. Hit Ok. 4. Locate and right-click on Print Spooler, and then click Stop from the drop-down menu. 5. Right-click Print Spooler again, and then click Start from the drop down menu.
Try to print again.

Installing/Replacing your ink cartridges:
1. Open the printer, and then press down on the cartridge carrier levers.

2. Remove the used print cartridge or cartridges. 3. If you are installing new print cartridges, remove the tape from the back and bottom of the color cartridge, insert the cartridge in the right carrier, and then close the color cartridge carrier lid. 4. If a black cartridge is included in the box contents, remove the tape from the back and bottom of the black cartridge, insert the cartridge in the left carrier, and then close the black cartridge carrier lid. 5. Close the printer.

Sometimes the ink cartridge carrier won't automatically move to its loading position even when the printer is on and the cover is open. Follow the steps below:

1. Unplug the printer from the power source.

2. With the cover open, hold the solid white strip that connects from the carrier assembly to the ink cartridge carrier and gently slide the cartridge carrier to the center of the printer.

3. Remove the used cartridges.

4. Load the new cartridges. Close the cover.

5. Plug the printer back to the power source.

Did you install the drivers off the cd that came with the printer? And if so, check your drivers and make sure it shows that its there. Maybe then you could look online for a downloadable version.

Try to remove the sheets of paper from the feeder. Grab a flashlight and look into the feeder for any foreign objects that might have accidentally fell into it. If feeder is clear, open the printer cover and remove the cartridges. While the printer cover is open, check inside for any obstructions in the paper path. If none, then close the printer cover. Unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reinsert the cartridges. Close the cover. Load some paper (avoid overloading). Try to print again.

Check if your printer is still connected to the same network as your computer. Refer to this article: How to Print the Network Settings Page on X4600 Series All-In-Ones (AIOs). If you the printout, check the SSID and other network information. If printer still belongs to your network, then it could be a firewall issue. Make sure to allow all Lexmark and printer communications in the program rules/permissions for your firewall. If printer doesn't belong the same network as your computer, then you need to reset the printer's wireless network adapter and re-launch the Lexmark Wireless Setup Utility.

Hello,

When you save the image in the 'Save Image' dialog is there a pull down list that says 'Save as file type'? Located just below where you enter the file name. If there is pull it down and select jpg as the file type.

HTH

I`ll guess You`ll have to connect your PC to the printer with the use of a usb cable.
Then run the Lexmark software (Lexmark printer home) or similar (don`t know what you are using?)... Go to "settings"; and choose wireless setup utility. You`ll have to manually set the SSID (the wanted wireless network) and the WIFI password for this network. Hope this will help.

Assuming you are using Windows that should be the appropriate driver set. Click the download link and run the .exe file once it is finished downloading.

There could be something blocking the paper path. Remove the sheets of paper from the feeder. Grab a flashlight and look into the feeder. Make sure there are foreign objects or debris that could cause this problem.

What is the operating system of your computer? Does this happen to all print jobs you send to the printer? Does this happen to all applications you're using on your computer? This could be driver issue. Try to use the updated Lexmark X4650 driver from the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/iofMNC.
