I replaced my black ink cartridge, however, the printer still says I need to replace the cartridge. So far, I have removed and reinstalled several times and also turned off the printer and restarted it, and still doesn't work. Also, documents I print are not straight, they print on a slight angle.

If this is an HP printer, you're experiencing a very common and annoying failure mode. Replace it, but not with an HP.

SOURCE: Contents alignment on printed/copied paper

I would recommend a good cleaning of the rollers with a damp rag (old t-shirts are great for this). Some canned air to blow out the insides always seems to improve operation.  
If this is helpful to you, would you please rate this solution? Thanks!

SOURCE: MFC-240 shows no ink cartridge

Hi all,

I had similar problem, i.e. MFC-240 printing was "forbidden" even if one cartridge was out of ink. This did not make sense if I wanted to print black and white but only cyan is out.

I read about taping the sensor bit of the cartridge to (fool the printer). My solution is instead of using tape (which could require some delicate work), I used liquid paper! Just paint over the transparent spot of the cartridge using the small little brush from the liquid paper bottle cap. Wait til it dried and plug the cartridge back in. It worked!

Jim

P.S.: I pulled the power after I finished printing to prevent its auto-wake (every two days or so) head cleaning job which used up internal ink (=expensive). The surprising rattling really annoyed me.

Hi...

Silly question, but I have done this myself. Have you removed the tape from the bottom of the cartridge?

SOURCE: After installing new cyan cartridge, display reads No Cartridge

look at the ink cartridge and and first see if the ink covers the top of the cartridge. there is a little part of the ink cartridge the best way to explain it, is there is a tab,. that tab goes into a sensor. if the tab has ink on it, then you mostly like have a problem with the sensor itself. but if there is no ink, the printer is correct. i have had several people bring printers with those type of problems, and when they bring the cartridge i look at it, and they are practically empty.

thanks

Color Ink prints fine but Black ink will not print. Have replaced both black in cartridges and Cleaned several times. Have turned off printer and computer after cleaning. Nothing working.

You could clean the black ink cartridge. For this you need to remove the black ink cartridge which is present in the printer. In order to clean the laser or scanner block you could use a cotton swab as it would fully clean the dirt. You need to clean the grime and the dried ink present in the printer. This would remove all the hindrances which prevent the ink from flowing. Cleaning the printer heads would also help to solve the problem.

Replaced ink cartridge 56 and black print text is

Hello,

Remove the cartridge and use a damp paper towel, wipe the bottom of the cartridge several times. Each time you wipe you should be getting black streaks on the paper towel. After manually cleaning the cartridge nozzles you will need to use a new tower and wipe the contacts on the back of the cartridge. When this is done reinstall it and run a cleaning and then an alignment procedure from the printer software. You should be printing good again.

I hope this helps, If so please rate our solution.

Black Ink not printing

Call this number. I had the same problem, and Kodak is replacing my print head FREE of charge. As the printers in the 5000 series are still under warranty. 1 800 421 6699

(To remove your print head: first remove the color ink cartridge. there is a button of sorts under a small ledge just above the picture of the finger used for installation. Press FIRMLY here, up towards the ceiling. The print head will come out. To reinstall, just put back in and press again firmly on the pic of the finger till it snaps.)

If you get the same quality of print, you need a new head.

Printer Toolbox Not Recognizing New Black Ink Cartridge

Pop out the cartridge and look inside the printer where the black cartridge goes. There may be punctures in the ribbon cable from the metal wire that rests against the catridge. I have lost 2 6940's to this problem.

Lexmark x5150

Your ink cartridges have dried out. Replace the black to confirm this prognostication and, if black works, replace color also. If you are into refilling ink cartridges youself try soaking the black one in 91% rubbing alcohol in a small ziploc type bag for several days. when the alcohol becomes ink colored, remove the cartridge from the baggie, dry it with tissue paper, reinstall it in the printer and up to 3 times run a clean the nozzles page until it prints a solid black line. Repeat with the color cartridge. Good luck.
