My Lexmark 4350 wont recognise a new colour cartridge why?

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.

Colour catridge complaint..replace it

Colour catridge complaint

On the rare occasion that this happens to me ... after the third or fourth try ... I return the cartridge to the store and complain.

Thank you for your question at FixYa.com

Is it the new original cartrigde colour or not ? If yes, you should ask a guarantee from the seller.
There is a chip inside the cartridge, sometimes it doesn't compatible for the printer software to read the chip.
The printer will keep asking for the new one if there is no ink in the cartridge.

1st thing to ask is are they genuine cartridges, as they wont work if they are compatible. type or refills. This problem is common in this brand of printer.

My Epson R285 will not recognise compatible cartridges,mainly the black.I ran out of black ink and installed a compatible cartridge but it did not recognise it.To get the printer running I had to buy a genuine one which worked.I then ran out of all the other colours soon after and installed compatible ones which were accepted.I have now ran out of the black again but the printer will not accept the compatible cartridge.How can I solve this problem as the printer has accepted black compatibles before.
Thanks Padgy

go to---- lexmark solution center option ---- by clicking the ---printing preferances option ---- in that select the ---new cartridge installation option or change cartridge option---- in that option you select the proper number of your cartridge and it will ask whether it is new or old let the cartridge refilled or used or any you should always select the option new cartridges.then it will detect the cartridge and u will be able to print the colour from the cartridge.

if the test pages come out OK then the problem can not be the printer !!!!!!!
it must be from the application

Leaving the cartridge out for an extended period is never a good idea, but it shouldn't be fatal. Make sure you put the photo cartridge in the black slot - not the color one. If the problem persists, you might want to reload the driver for that printer from the www.lexmark.com website.
