Problem for Lexmark Color JetPrinter Z23 InkJet

Lexmark z23 cartridge banging

By guombl on Apr 04, 2006

" "

Whenever I try to print with my Lexmark Z23, the cartridge bangs against the left side of the printer and fails to print. I haven't seen any obvious problems inside the machine (everything seems connected properly, in my inexpert opinion). I tried reinstalling the driver, and that also didn't help.

Unfortunately, this is a known problem with Lexmark printers.
First, try turning the printer upside down and shaking it - it's been known to work. If it didn't help, try cleaning the parts with alcohol solution. Wipe everything inside including the top strip, the metal bar and then pull the ink cartriges out and wipe the copper and the actual cartrige too. And to finish it, hit the side of the printer a couple of times.
