There should be an alignment/cleaning utility program bundled with your printer software. Run the utility to clean and align the print heads. If you still have problems, check to be sure the contact of the print heads aren't smeared or clogged.

Can not get the color to work in my lexmark x1240 printer to work? we tried to refill the old cartrage first but it leaked after a couple uses than we bought a new cartrage but it won't work.

Make sure that you are using genuine Lexmark cartridges and not refilled, re-manufactured or clone cartridges from the 3rd parties. Lexmark products work best with original supplies. If you are using genuine cartridges yet the problem persists, please don't hesitate to contact Lexmark Technical Support Center for additional assistance.

I have a 2600 hp printer so happned that I wanted to put a new black toner cartrage into the printer and I notice none of the four cartrage would come out could you tell me what to do

You have to open the door all the way. Take note as to weather the cartridge doors close as you open the printer. If the toner cartridge doors do not close while you are opening the printer up you have a major problem. Call a tech.

Color ink cartridge says empty i just filled it

When you put in a "new" cartrage the printer sens an electrical charge to the cartrage to set it up properly. So I would treat this as a new cartrage, rather than a refilled one. Go to the printer menu and re install the ink cartrage in question, it should recognise it and start the function as a new one, good luck

Scanner coloring doc.

in your printer menu there should be a option for cleaning the printer heads. if not you need to remove the cartrages and clean yourself with rubbing alcohol. also clean off the cartrages also.this should get rid of the saturation problem.let me know if this helped.
