After you changed the printhead, even full cartridges need some time to fill up the head. So just copy a newspaper, put in a normal sheet of paper, and tell the printer it is a Photo, with Photo paper. It then will press the most ink.
If one of the colours start, it could take a complete A4 photo, before all colours are coming through.
I assume you did install the new head correct and not something else was defect before you started to change the head anyway. Because when something else was defect in the first place, a new head won't change that.

Check if there is any ink coming on the tissue or not .

SOURCE: print head replacement lexmark t632

Hi Kmccue,
The Lexmark T632 is a laser printer. It does not have a printhead. Perhaps it is the toner cartridge you are talking about. Pull the cover open in the front and pull the cartridge out.

    SOURCE: printing blank pages

    For 34 Short Paper error, reseat the tray guides and make sure it is set properly. Also, set the correct settings in the computer. For blank pages, always double-check the paper settings and again the settings in the computer. For not printing black, print the Print Quality page and see what color is not printed or not showing. If Print Quality shows black, try printing any document from any application in the computer. Check if you still have the problem. If problem is not resolved, leave a comment so I can get back to this.

    SOURCE: How do I stow Lexmark Impact S305 Control Panel?

    find a tight plastic locking clip on the underside of the control panel. It may be at the top middle edge on the underside. Give it a very firm upwards press and it should unlock the control panel section.

    I bought a lexmark s305 all in one impact printer and I have a net book laptop windows 7 starter and when I connected the USB CABAL to my laptop from my printer it installs everything correctly apart from...

    Something is definitely wrong here. Unplug your printer from your computer. Then follow the steps in this article: How to Replace the Printhead from a S300, S400, S500, S600, Pro200, Pro700, Pro800, or Pro900 Series All-In-One to a New Machine. After removing the printhead, unplug the printer from the power outlet. Wait at least 10 seconds before replugging to the power outlet. This will give enough time for the printer to reset itself. When the printer turns on, follow the steps on its display screen on how to reinstall the printhead. Make sure the printhead and the cartridges are properly inserted.
    If problem continues with the alignment, please contact Lexmark technical support for additional assistance.
