Are you using a refill cartridge? It would be best to allign after installing the cartridges?
Since most cartridges today have electronic contacts on them, if you dirtied them before installing the cartridge, it is possible that this could affect the performance, you might want to take the cartridge out and clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol.
Also, the alignment of the print heads may need to be adjusted, my hp requires this to make sure the color and black line up properly, otherwise you get a blurry image.
Furthermore, if the problem is with the color cartridge and you are trying to print a page of black letters and the printer is set to use colors, it may try to print the black using all of the colors instead of using the black cartridge. So you may need to clean the color cartridge as well. Try looking at the printing properties and making sure black is selected when printing something that is only text and see if it does it correctly then.
Good Luck!

When I try to print it says can not print due to communication problem. I have been using this printer without a problem until today. yesterday I received a virus and I had to put my computer in safe mode and I had to turn off firewall and clean my system by resoring it back to when my computer was normal. and so today when i tried to print It just will not print and I even tried to re install lexmark 2500 and it still would not work and I even followed the troubleshoot directions about going into firewall and unpluging the usb cable and restarting computer nothing has worked. what should i do?
