After refilling my black cartridge, my lexmark X7170 AIO (on printer copy setting) prints out a blank page even after printing an alignment page showing black bars & blue dashes (no other colors?) I changed

Try to re-seat the cartridges in the printer. Open the printer cover > remove the cartridges > close the printer cover > re-brick you printer by pulling out the power supply - black box behind the printer where the power cord is plugged in, and re-plug after 10 seconds. When the printer turns on, reinsert the cartridges and close the cover. Try to print a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.

If that doesn't help, please follow the steps below to align the cartridges:

1. On your computer, go to Start menu.
2. Go to Programs.
3. Go to Lexmark 7100 Series folder.
4. Select Lexmark Solution Center.

From the Maintenance tab, select Align to fix blurry edges. Your printer will then print a page and help align the cartridges.

It sounds like you've gone through all the normal processes to correct the problem. This indicates a problem with the refilled cartridges. The refill ink may not be up to HP specs and be clogging the nozzles. The next step is to put in OEM cartridges (not refills) and go through the cleaning and alignment process. This should clear the problem.
Let me know if this clears the problem otherwise we can try something else.
Thanks.
