This is the only information I could find. Didn't your printer come
with a black and color ink cartridge? If it did, all you need to do is
take the ink cartridge out and write down the numbers written on the
cartridge. The only ink cartridge I could positively confirm was the
#24 color ink cartridge. The Lexmark website does not list any black
ink cartridges for this model. This information was obtained from
Officemax.com.
Lexmark - 24 Ink Cartridge - Color
Compatible with Lexmark Z1400 series, X3500 series and X4500 series printers;
Lexmark - 23 Ink Cartridge - Black
Compatible with Z1400 series, X3500 series and X4500 series printers;
No it doesn't work in the X3430 printer, I tried using the #23 cartridge myself. Only after trying it did I read the side of the box, which doesn't list this printer.
