Hi
Error 1203 Dell
There can only try and I hope it will do the job for you.

Error 1203 is an issue that occurs either when a cartridge is bad or the printer cartridge Slot is bad...

1 - try cleaning the copper contacts of the both carts and cart slot in the printer and try again..
or
2 - when error shows up, shut the printers power off; wait one minute and turn it back on
press copy
Or if you need to do a factory reset

Reset Factory Defaults on the Dell™ Printer
To reset factory defaults on the printer, perform the following steps:

  1. Press the Mode button several times until the Copy LED is lit.
  2. Press the Menu button until Set Defaults is displayed, then press the Select button.
  3. Press the right arrow button until Restore Factory Defaults is displayed, then press the Select button. The printer will ask for the date, time and language.
Enter the time, date and language, the press the Select button.

    Are you using Dell Series 9 ink cartridges?

    Error 1203 is a very interesting error code. Here is what I found out about error 1203



    Error 1203 is a very interesting cartridge error. It means your cartridges overflow even from brand new cartridges after a several prints or right after you refilled the cat ridges. Check to see if ink are smeared on the holder where the contact panel with the cartridge


    Solution:
    I use the lint free cloth(coffee filter work great) with a few drops of water to dampen and clean off those contact on the holder and my printer work again.
    Then before you print anything, you should run aligned the cartridges a couple times then run clean cartridges a couple times.
    Print the test page to see how it's look and way you go.
    Be sure not to leave any debris of lint free cloth(coffee filter work great on those holder contact panel.

    Printer just has following message Error 1203 consult user's guide" which I do not have

    Error 1203 comes from a refilled ink cartridge.

    Try purchasing the Brand name ink cartridge and the error message should go away.

    It sounds like the printer thinks it is not a genuine ink cartridge. Fit a Lexmark cartridge to cure it.

    Error 1203.

    It's mean your catridges overflow even from brand new catridges after a several prints or right after you refilled the catridges. Check to see if ink are smeared on the holder where the contact panel with the catridge. I have the same problem which I think lexmark have a proble and overlook.
    Solution:
    I use the klennex with a few drops of water to dampen and clean off those contact on the holder and my printer work again.
    The refill ink work very well if you let it sit 24 hrs. Then before you print anything, you should run aligned the catridges a couple times then run clean catridges a couple times.
    Print the test page to see how it's look and way you go.
    Be sure not to leave any debris of klennex on those holder contact panel.

    Dell Series 5 ink cartridges have a sensor in them that cannot be reset. Article on refilling Dell ink cartridges.

    Dell Series 5 ink cartridges can be purchased at Staples, Walmart or Dell's Website.
