I have a Lexmark X2690 that came with my PC (HP Pavilion Labtop) in July 2008. I hardly use it, but, when I do, I am always unable to print, most likely due to one or more of the following errors that I get:- 1) The button with the paper icon (and the down arrow) blinks red or orange. (To fix this, I try to make sure the paper is fed the right way in the holder.) 2) The two exclamation points (next to the power button) light up in an alternate pattern, and, again, the color is red or orange. Because the printer came with my computer, no instruction manual on how to use my printer was provided upon buying it. If you could please respond a.s.a.p., helping me with my printing problems, I would be most grateful. Thank you very much and take care. With best regards, Dave Chandra

The light indicates either a paper jam or a problem with your cartridges (probably due to low ink or faulty). To identify and fix this issue, please follow the steps below:

1. Remove the sheets of paper from the feeder.
2. Grab a flashlight and look inside the feeder for any debris or foreign objects.
3. If feeder is clear, place the printer back on the table, open the printer cover and remove the cartridges.
4. Check the cartridge area for any obstructions/debris in the cartridge carrier's path or the paper path.
5. If cartridge area is clear, close the cover.
6. Unplug and re-plug the printer into the power outlet to reset it.
7. When the printer turns on, reinsert one cartridge first.
8. Close the printer cover and check for any errors.
9. If no error appears, reinsert the other cartridge. Close the printer cover.
10. Replace whichever cartridge is causing the error to appear with a new cartridge.
11. If there's no indication of any problem, try to print a document again.
