I got a lex x3430 as a gift. It uses a #24 cartridge. The way it is set up it will not print when the ink warning says it is time to reorder ink even though there is ink left. The Lexmark service person I contacted said it is designed to do that and is a single use cartridge. I refilled it and it still shows order ink and will not print. Is there a way to get around this by deleting the ink warning? If so could you let me know what files need to be deleted? Tx, Chromazar
When you installed the new ink cartridge did you go into your program menu and find the lexmark solution center? If not, you have to go to the solution center, choose the maintenance menu and tell it you have installed the new ink cartridge. If you don't it will not recognize the new one.
I have read in another forum that the #24 ink cartridge is designed only for single use but there is a #24a you must purchase, which can be refilled and reused. i hope that is of use to someone
You could try uninstalling the thing compleatly then restart the pc and reinstall it. Don't know if that will help. Sometimes refilled cartridges just don't work and you end up spending the money on a new one anyway.
For the most optimal output experience with your model, I recommends that you update your printer firmware. The firmware helps ensure that you receive the highest yields of ink available from the cartridges, which offers the greatest value and means fewer necessary cartridge replacements. Please visit the Lexmark website to download and install the Lexmark S300 Series Firmware Update. If more than one download is listed for your model, choose the first download in the list. If it is the wrong firmware level, an error message will tell you which firmware level is correct.
