Please visit the Lexmark website to download and install the Lexmark X1290 printer software on your computer. Select your operating system > download > execute the file. Follow the instructions on your computer screen.

Double check the cartridge to make sure there is no packing tape still over the print head, make sure it is not expired if there is a expiration date on the cartridge. Next try a clean print head cycle on the cartridge and you may even clean the print head portion of the cartridge manually using a little alcohol soaked onto a q-tip. Does the printer still print black? If so it is always possible you got a bad cartridge.

You can try removing the cartridges from the printer, then close the cover. Unplug the printer from the power source. Wait at least 30 seconds before plugging it back in. When the printer's ready, reload the cartridges. The printer may prompt you to load paper to print an alignment page. If not, you can go to the All-in-One software on your computer and print the alignment page. If you need more assistance with it, I suggest you contact Lexmark technical support. Thanks.

Scanned to one file is only supported for Document Scan type ( you should choose shortcut with scan type =Document) and you should make sure that the box "Create one file per scanned page..." (in the Save to file Options) is unticked

Now fixed. Cleaned the jets.

Sounds like it might be clogged nozzles. Try putting some rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth and gently wiping the area where the cartridge comes in contact with the printer and wipe all of the parts of the cartridge that come in contact with the printer.

If that doesn't work, you should be able to get a replacement by contacting Lexmark technical support (info on web site) or you can send the defective cartridge into Lexmark's recycler (get bags at www.lexmark.com/recycle) and include a note with information about the defect and your name, address and e-mail and you should get a replacement.

With the Lexmark printers communication subsystem you MUST let the driver ask for you to plug in the printer. DO NOT plug the printer into the USB port until told to do so.

To fix a fouled install:
(1) Uninstall the Lexmark drivers in Add Remove Programs
(2) Shutdown the computer
(3) Disconnect the printer from the USB port
(4) Restart the computer
(5) Run the Driver Installation software
(6) Cancel ALL attempts by windows to auto install the printer
(7) When the software asks for the printer connect it and continue

please check for any driver update in the lexmark website

go to printer properties in the control panel and click on latest driver

Please make sure the print head is seating properly as it should. Another reason could be the contacts of the print head are not connecting properly with the main printer due to dirt. Remove the print head, clean the contacts of the print head and where it seats at the printer. hope this will help
