Lexmark X1270. The paper goes to right and can not feed to print.

Leading cause of paper jams is debris/foreign objects that accidentally fell into the paper feed area. Please follow steps below to fix the problem:

1. Remove the sheets of paper from the feeder.

2. Grab a flashlight and look inside the feeder for any debris or foreign objects.

3. If you're willing and physically able, you may also turn the printer over. Any debris should just freely roll out from the feeder.

4. If feeder is clear, place the printer back on the table, open the printer cover and remove the cartridges.

5. Check the cartridge area for any obstructions/debris in the cartridge carrier's path or the paper path.

6. If cartridge area is clear, close the cover.

7. Re-brick your printer. Pull out the power supply, black box where the power cord is plugged in at the back of the printer, and put it back after 30 seconds.

8. When the printer turns on, reinsert the cartridges and load some paper. Try to print a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.

Did you put the right numbers of the cartridges?

Try a hardware check of the printer first. To check the hardware of the printer, do the following:

1. Switch off the printer.
   
2. Load one sheet of paper into the paper feeder.
   
3. Press the Power button and the Paper Feed button at the same time and hold them both down for three seconds. Then release the Power button only.
   
4. When the printer begins to print, release the Paper Feed button. A page will be printed. The page should contain some text at the top and a series of horizontal color lines (cyan, magenta and yellow) below the text, with a thick black line below the colored lines. All the lines should be solid.
   
5. When the test is complete, switch off the printer. NOTE: If you do not switch off the printer, it will continue to print.

have the same problem. power button keeps on blinking and paper doesnt go in.

Just like some one else... First I turned off the printer. Then I turned it upside down and shook it. I found a rubber band in there that one of my sons shot at his brother(...and missed).
Now the printer feeds quite well.
Also, do not capture the paper between the adjustable giude and the opposite edge. Otherwise the guide at the non-fed side acts more like a brake because of the friction. I learned that in the conveyor business.

You might go to the Lexmark website and download the drivers for that model directly .

I had the same issue with my Lexmark X1290, I solved it by opening up the device, so the ink cartridges should pop, they didn't so I pressed the power button to switch it off, and then switched it back on (with the device open!) and all the paper flowed out, the flashing stopped and it could print again. Good Luck!

If this printer uses rubber rollers to feed the paper through the printer, try using alcohol on a cotton ball to clean the rollers. That might help restore the 'grip' on the paper.

Hope this helps, and please rate my advice.

Good luck!!

Something probably fell into that tiny pinch of an area where the paper goes. I have found everything from a Tostito crumb to a chip of drywall blocking my paper feed. Flip your machine over, poke it if you have to, and shake it around til the little bugger falls out.
