# Hold the cartridge upside down, with the bar-code label facing you and take a damp paper towel.
# Use the towel to wipe the printhead of the cartridge on the bottom (where the ink comes out). Wipe the printhead horizontally in one direction only (left to right).
# Continue doing this until it looks clean.
# Then dab the cartridge on the towel to make sure the ink is flowing.
# Next, look inside the printer and locate the carrier that holds ink cartridges. Caution: Make sure the cartridges are not installed at this point.
1. Look for a shiny piece of metal underneath the contacts at the back of the carrier.
2. Take a damp cotton swab (use water only!) and wipe along the bottom of the shiny metal piece. Note: You may need more than one swab.
# Reinstall the cartridges, making sure you snap them correctly into the printer.
SOURCE: My lexmark x4850 keeps telling
Did you replace the color cartridge with a Lexmark product or is it a off brand new cartridge or did you refill the cartridge yourself?
SOURCE: Lexmark x 1270 & x1290 printer won't print black after using re-filled cartridges.
hmmm...paperman..that's unusual to say the least..
SOURCE: I cant figure out how to change the ink cartridges on my lexmark
On an X4850 the whole top of the printer opens up to reveal the cartridge carriers. Press down on the latch of each side to reveal the cartridges.
Here is a link to the User guide: X4850 User Guide It is described on page 94.

Hi...
Silly question, but I have done this myself. Have you removed the tape from the bottom of the cartridge?
SOURCE: using a refilled ink cartridge on a Lexmark x4850
Yes, most Lexmark cartridges as well as many other manufactures use something called 'Smart' Chips in the bottom of the ink cartridge. Usually unplugging your (about 10 seconds) printer resets the memory in the printer. Hope this helps!
