hello there
here is the lexmark ink cartridges #31 for color and #32 for black #31 Photo Color Print Cartridge (18C0031) $ 34.99 QTY #32 Black Print Cartridge (18C0032) $ 24.99 QTY Twin Pack #32 Black Print Cartridge (18C0533) $ 47.99 QTY #33 Color Print Cartridge (18C0033) $ 26.99 QTY Twin Pack #33 Color Print Cartridge (18C0534)

According to the Lexmark site an number 33 color cartridge is the correct color cartridge for the printer.

Are you trying to print potographs? If so, then you would need the #32 cartridge and the color cartridge together in the priter.

If you believe that the cartridge is defective, contact Lexmark at 1-800-232-3000 and let them know you received a defective cartidge.

Don

Can't be reset. The Lexmark 32 & 33 (and porbably som others) contain a low ink sensor in the cartridge that once activated can NOT be reset. The key would be you have to refill before the low ink sensor gets activated. Don't know at what ink level that is, probably around 1/4 remaining.

found solution: driver software had an error while installing & only installed half the proper software. i had to uninstall the lexmark 5200 serious software completely & download it again from the lexmark website.
i talked to the lexmark customer service live chat line on their website & found out what the problem was. they are very helpful, i highly recommend using it if you have a problem with your lexmark product!

pretty simple solution, its just a little time consuming.

I also misplaced my cd to install my x5250 lexmark printer
