I own a Cartridge World ink refilling store and I can't refill the Lexmark 36 and 37 cartridges. Your printer deactivates the electronics on this cartridge when the ink levels get low. Your printer needs a black and a color cartridge with functioning electronics to print. I NEVER recommend Lexmark printers. They are poorly made, don't accept refills easily, and have the most expensive ink across manufacturers and it is designed to clog your cartridge unless you use it quickly. If you keep this machine you are stuck buying Lexmark brand ink (the return program cartridges are a little cheaper though).

Replace color cartridge.Printer can't print without color cartridge.In your case the color cartridge is failed.

• Press the "Power" button to turn on your Lexmark
• Step 2 Open the top portion of the printer to reveal the ink cartridges.
• Step 3 Lift the gray plastic cover on the left. Remove the empty black ink cartridge. Next, lift the purple plastic cover on the right and remove the empty color ink cartridge.
• Step 4 Remove the new black ink refill cartridge from its packaging. Tear the protective strip of paper from the cartridge's sensor. Now, remove the new color ink refill cartridge from its packaging and tear the protective strip of paper from the cartridge's sensor.
• Step 5 Turn the cartridges so that you can read the label. This is the way the cartridges should face when being put into the printer.
• Step 6 Slide the black cartridge into the slot on the left side and push it down. Slide the color cartridge into the slot on the right side and push down.
• Step 7 Push the gray plastic cover down over the cartridge until it clicks closed. Push the purple plastic cover down over the cartridge until it clicks closed.
• Step 8 Close the top portion of the printer. Your new ink cartridges are installed, and your printer is ready to use.
