I have a Lexmark Z2390 inkjet printer and have just purchased new ink cartridges but do not know how to change them can you help ?

If the ink cartridges you purchased are not Lexmark - that could be the problem. I used to have a Lexmark printer and I did the same thing - I purchased ink cartridges that were compatible but not Lexmark brand. Everything seemed fine until I tried to print and then I would get the same error sign and low ink message and it would not print. I kept thinking I was doing something else wrong and tried everything. In the end I broke down and got ink cartridges from Lexmark and that solved the problem. Now I have a Brother printer and I never buy anything other than Brother ink cartridges because I'm always afraid of that same thing happening again. I wish I knew which printers WOULD accept those non name brand ink cartridges, but thus far I do not know of any printers that do. Hope this helps you.

For more detailed instructions on how to change/replace the ink cartridges in your Lexmark printer, please refer to the Lexmark X5650 User's Guide. Turn to page 111 - Maintaining Print Cartridges.
I hope this information has been helpful.

1. Look at the indicator light on your Lexmark printer. You'll need to replace ink cartridges when the light flashes or turns red instead of the standard green.

2. Purchase Lexmark ink cartridges. You can buy the brand name or purchase a generic version that is compatible with your printer. You can shop for low cost ink cartridges from ABC Ink.

3. Remove the old cartridges from your printer. Grip the sides of the Lexmark ink cartridges and pull it out. Dispose of the ink cartridges in a recycle program like the one at Staples or save the cartridges for refill.

4. Install the new ink cartridges after removing the protective tabs. Avoid touching the IC chip when installing the new Lexmark ink cartridges. Replace the cover of the printer.

5. Allow the Lexmark printer to run a nozzle test. Print several pages with the new ink cartridges to make sure you installed the ink cartridges correctly. The indicator light should return to a solid green color.

The printer is basically a Lexmark and uses Lexmark cartridges. Most places such as Staples will have a chart to show you which cartridges to use.

The drivers for this printer are readily available for free download.

lift the panel and if you cant get to the ink catridges turn it on and they will move so you can accses them you need to change them with the printer on usually

a good idea will be to find a specialised support forum for your product

good luck

Lexmark used remote access to sort the problem. Although I altered the setting on the print page to black and white it was defaulting back to the original settings. They changed this through my computer and the print settings ans now all is ok.

If you brought new cartridges and printer detecting it empty ,then you get it
replaced as the Lexmark cartridges comes with a 6 months warranty ..

Good luck....

Hi...

Silly question, but I have done this myself. Have you removed the tape from the bottom of the cartridge?

When you try refilling your ink cartridges, you are taking chances that something may go wrong. I would search the web and purchase re-manufactured ink cartridges, which would be less expensive than the new ones from Lexmark.
