My Lexmark X1195 has recently stopped printing from a full black ink cartridge although it still prints from the colour cartridge - I've tried all usual cleaning solutions and reinstalled the software but although the black cartridge registers on screen and the printer sounds like it goes through all the motions it still doesn't print. There are no obvious mechanical errors that I can see. Any suggestions please? Ta.

Smash printer with axe or sledgehammer. Grin maniacally. After researching on internet,go out & buy new printer that allows you to print till empty & refill again! Obviously not a Lexmark...

pls do check the cartridge of your printer..maybe the black ink had been dry..and do pls..check and try to print again..and clean were the ink comes out.
Make sure you are using genuine Lexmark cartridges. It could be that your black cartridge needs cleaning. Try to do the Deep Clean Printhead function on the printer. Press Ink Levels -> press More Options -> select Deep Clean Printhead. The printer will then print a clean cartridge nozzles page. If black ink is not printed on the page, you may need to update your printer's firmware. The update corrects print quality issues on your printer. You can easily download and install the update using this link Lexmark Platinum Pro905 Firmware Update. Download and install the Pro905 update. Thanks.
It could be that the cartridge has become dry. you have to try several head cleans using the printer software and if that doesnt help then the cartridge needs to be replaced.
I re-cleaned cups and wiper between cups with syringe and meth. spirits. Also realised that the cartridges that I had tried that hadn't printed could have melted the jets, so found an old one , filled it right up, then withdrew at least 2cc with refill kit tools. Prints fine now.
There was a lot of sticky ink residue on the wiper (what I assume the strip between the two rest cups is) that could have blocked jets.
