Solution
Performing the Hardware Test
Turn off the printer.
Press and hold the Paper Feed button.
While continuing to hold down the Paper Feed button, press the Power button ONCE.
When the Power button begins to flash rapidly, release the Paper Feed button. A test page will print.
That is because they cannot e refilled. The ones you get with your printer ( 28 & 29) are what Lexmark calls "return program cartridges", which means they are for one use only. I suggest you buy other cartridges that can be refilled. Those are either 28A or 34 (black cartridge) and 29A or 35 (color cartridge). Here is a link to Lexmark's site, where you can see the list of cartridges that are compatible with your printer. http://lexmark-cartridges.com/cfv2/printer.php?lang=uk&partner=&productName=Lexmark+Z845

The
only work around to this is to use two catridges(2 color and 2 black
and white). The reason is the printer has a mechanism to check if the
same catridge is being used again. SO when you have two cartridges when
one is finished refill the other and use and vice-versa. This way you
will be able to refill and use for ever without any problems..

I had the same problem with lexmark z845. It is easy to solve this problem.Just do like the picture I post and you never get the paper pull to one side again. The problem is the rolling motor is too strong, so it pull the paper out out the tray in oneside. I use the mini cassette box, stick it with the super glue. And the printer works very well

Maybe your USB port or USB cable is not working? For sure you need to get the latest drivers for Vista, Try to download the driver from Lexmark website at http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?category=Drivers&ccs=229:1:0:552:0:0&searchLang=en&os_group=Windows%20Vista
If that still doesn't work, see if you can get another USB device to connect to your computer - like a USB Flash Drive (or "thumb drive").
go to lexmark website and download millenium software driver. or just go to this link:
