Also the buttons dosen't work. I've tried to press the copy, scan,and the fax neither responsd nor does the menu button or any other button. I've tried everything but nothing works.The printer comes on and light up the menu screen but the words for the menu option is blank and the buttons doesn't work. I've tried contacting Lexmark techs, but my warranty expired and the technician gave me instructions on rebooting the printer and that wasn't successful, unless I didn't follow the instruction well.

Right catridge not correct

Make sure you are inserting the correct cartridge versions for your Lexmark X5470 printer. Color cartridges compatible for your model are #33 and #35.
Try to re-insert the right cartridge into the printer. If that doesn't help, remove the right cartridge from your printer again. Close the printer cover. Re-brick your printer. Pull out the power supply, black box where the power cord is plugged in at the back of the printer, and put it back after 30 seconds. When the printer turns on, re-insert your right cartridge. Close the printer cover and check for any errors. Try to print a document to verify that the problem is fixed.
If the problem continues, try to do the Clean Cartridge function from the printer operator panel. On Copy mode, press the Menu button > select Tools > select Maintenance > select Clean Cartridges. Your printer will then print a page forcing ink through the cartridge nozzles and clean them. Try to print a document to verify that the problem is fixed.
If the error still appears on the display screen, you probably have a faulty cartridge. Please replace it with a new genuine Lexmark cartridge.

I have a Lexmark 5400 printer with a scanner combined. The printer works fine, but when it comes to scanning it tells me cannot retrieve application list, is there anything I can do to get it to working...

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. Re-brick your printer. Pull out the 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 scan a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.

My lexmark x5470 does not turn on, and only a red light bright inside near the print injectors. Thank You.

Try to rebrick you printer by pulling 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. This will reset your printer.



If that doesn't help, try to plug your printer into a different known working power outlet.

Despite being plugged in and the green LED light on, no display on printer

I have the same model (about a year old) but there are no lights visible on the back of my printer (neither red or green). Have you contacted the Lexmark tech advice website about this problem? They may take a few days to respond but there are numerous possibilities in trying to locate the fault (probably in the power circuitry) and it might have to take it to a repair shop to get it tested (if it is not under warranty).
