20 Most Recent Lexmark Prevail Pro705 Wireless All-In-One InkJet Printer - Page 5 Questions & Answers

If your printer was wirelessly working before, try to unplug/replug your printer to the power outlet. Doing this usually fixes minor communication issues.
If that doesn't help, please reset the wireless network adapter for your printer. On the printer operator panel, press Setup button -> Network Setup -> Reset Network Adapter to Factory Defaults. The WiFi light will momentarily turn off, then turns on steady orange. You can now reconfigure your printer for wireless connection.

Please try turning off the wirless on the printer itself and retry.

Make sure you took all the packaging things out.

The communication problem can be caused by several factors. This article in the Lexmark website on How to identify a Wireless Communication Problem and Resolution Tips might help you get this fixed.

Some times the printhead contacts simply need to be cleaned.

Remove the cartridge and use a small amount (just enough to clean any foreign materials)of rubbing alcohol on a q-tip to clean the contact areas on both the cartridge and the printer.

Take care to not flood the contacts with the liquid.

Reset the cartridge firmly and try to print.

If this does not solve the problem, take this link to Lexmark for their suggested solutions.

I have a similar printer. The only thing I can suggest is to check your printer settings, they may have inadvertently been defaulted to print black only. In Windows, go to your printer folder and right click the printer icon. Select "print preferences" and go to the color tab and see what it's set at. Also, if you copy something from the glass in color, are you getting color?

Press SETUP
Arrow up or down to MAINTENANCE
Press OK
Arrow down to PRINT TEST PAGE
Press OK
Test page will print, total pages printed will be under Product Information.
Total pages that were printed with the installed printhead will be
under Printhead Information.

There is no continuous ink system on sale at present.
You would need to construct one and use the Lexmark 100A ink cartridges.

You could try to remove and reinsert the printhead.
Open the printer and lift the latch.
Remove the printhead.
Wipe the printhead contacts with a lint-free cloth.
Reinsert the printhead.
If this does not correct the problem contact

Hi there,

Check the settings of your printer, either in the software that came with it or the printing preferences in the Control Panel. If your ink tone is set too dark, it could be using a lot of ink. If this is not the case, then:

1) Clean the ink cartridges
2) Replace the ink cartridges as they may have expired. 3) Replace the printer and find one which uses cartridges that can perform more copies in a single fill.

Try reseating the printhead for your Lexmark Pro705. If error continues, make sure that your printer's firmware is updated. You can easily download and install the update by clicking on this link Lexmark Prevail Pro705 Firmware Update. If you encounter any problem downloading or installing the update, please contact Lexmark technical support for assistance. Thanks.

You can refill Lexmark 100 ink cartridge but the cartridge will still indicate to be out of ink
There is a RFID chip that monitor the ink level of that cartridge.
