    SOURCE: Lexmark S305 won't authenticate ink non brand

    Lexmark does not recommend the use of refilled, re-manufactured or clone cartridges. You might not get the print quality you expect from ink that is specially formulated by Lexmark. Also, when you use off-brand inks and cartridges, there is no way for Lexmark to be sure that materials and engineering choices used by a third party will not result in poor print quality or damage to your printer.
    I highly recommend that you return your third-party cartridge if you still can get a refund and purchase genuine Lexmark cartridges instead.
    Here's a tip to save on ink: A 100 "standard yield" cartridge for your model has a low sales price, but contains less ink. Your best value is a 100XL "high yield" cartridge. These have a higher sticker price, but contain almost 3 times as much ink as their standard yield cousins.

    For the most optimal output experience with your model, I recommends that you update your printer firmware. The firmware helps ensure that you receive the highest yields of ink available from the cartridges, which offers the greatest value and means fewer necessary cartridge replacements. Please visit the Lexmark website to download and install the Lexmark S300 Series Firmware Update. If more than one download is listed for your model, choose the first download in the list. If it is the wrong firmware level, an error message will tell you which firmware level is correct.

    How do I make a test page for my printer to check color.

    You need to clarify :
    1. Your printer cannot print color even though it prints color well from a test page;
    2. Your printer cannot print color in a test print page.

    If it is the first one, then you have to set it properly in Window Print Configuration page of that printer;
    If it is the second one, then you have to check whether you have installed the color ink cartridge properly in the printer. If the color ink cartridge is installed properly, try to replace another new color ink cartridge. Finally it is still not work, then you have to bring back to the repair center.

    I've installed color cartridge but it won't print in color

    Try to re-insert the color cartridge into the printer and make sure it is properly seated in the cartridge carrier.
    If that doesn't help, try to clean the print nozzles. Please follow the steps below:
    1. Press Copy. 2. Press Options until Maintenance appears on the display. 3. Press the right arrow until Clean Cartridges appears on the display. 4. Press Select. A nozzle page prints, forcing ink through the nozzles to clean the clogged nozzles. 5. Print your document again to verify that your print quality has improved.

    The black ink on my Brother DCP-130C won't print and it's a brand new ink cartridge. I thought it was a defected cartridge so I bought another one, same thing. The other 3 colours print ok though....

    I have the same problem. Everything on the printer is working just fine. It'll do a test page just fine, so everything's working right. The %$^ thing just won't print. It makes noise like it's printing when you give it a print job, but it spits out blank pages.

    X4270 won't copy after replacing black cartridge. It did run an alignment page, however.

    Try this approach:
    1. On the printer operator panel, on Copy mode, press Options.
    2. Select Maintenance.
    3. Select Clean Cartridges
    Your printer will then print a test page forcing ink through the cartridge nozzles and clean them.
    Try to print your document again to verify that Copying is properly functioning now.

    Installed new 28 and 29 cartridges in lexmark x2550 and it won't recognise the cartridge and won't print at all, very frustrating please help urgently

    It could be that your cartridges need some cleaning. On your computer, launch the Lexmark Solution Center. Click Start menu > Programs or All Programs >Lexmark 2500 Series > Lexmark Solution Center. From the Maintenance tab, select Clean to fix horizontal streaks. Your printer will then print a page forcing ink through the cartridge nozzles and clean them. Try to print again.

    Yellow won't print

    First try to replace the yellow toner cartridge. After that, try re-seating the cartridge (take out the cartridge and place it back in carefully making sure it is seated correctly). If this does not resolve the issue, clean the print heads and connections on the cartridge. This can be done by removing the cartridge and swabbing the connections with a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol. Also, while the cartridge is removed, swab the connections to the cartridge that are inside the printer where the cartridge is seated.

    I have a "Lexmark" X6150 Scanner/Copier/Printer.It list a an error as being "Cartridge error 50c" I put in new cartridge & it still won`t print a "Alingment Page" The Cartridge before didn`t last very...

    Unplug the printer/copier from the main source of electricity, make sure it is a full ink cartridge, wait 10-20 seconds, plug it back in. Sometimes it takes unplugging it from the computer and doing the same.
