It could be that the Print Spooler service on your computer has stopped. Please follow the steps below to fix the problem:

1. On your computer, browse to Start -> Run... and type in NET STOP SPOOLER (this will stop the print spooler service)

2. Browse to your windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ folder. You should see files there ending in .SPL and .SHD created around the time you tried to print - delete these files.

3. Browse to Start -> Run... and type in NET START SPOOLER (this will restart the print spooler service)

4. Double click the printer icon in the lower-right corner of your taskbar to examine your print job queue and browse to View -> Refresh.

When I print the status bar says ink ?? the cartrages are full and i am unsure why it will print an allignment but nothing else

Make sure the Lexmark services are running. Refer to this article in the Lexmark website: How to Check and Enable Services Utilized for Printer Communication with Inkjet Printers. Also found in the same window is the Print Spooler, make sure the service is running. Then try to print again.

If you need additional assistance, don't hesitate to contact Lexmark technical support.

When I send a document to print, the document seems to get 'stuck' and won't print. The status bar stays at about 50%. Sometimes it prints, sometimes it won't.

It could be the print spooler of your computer that has gotten disabled somehow. Try to refresh the print spooler on your computer by following the steps in this article in the Lexmark website on How to Restart or Reset the Print Spooler in Windows. Once the spooler has started, make sure there are no print jobs stuck in the print queue before sending out a new print job.

Are the ink cartridges interchangable between the lexmark 4650 and the 4690? They certainly appear identical in every aspect.

Hello. The only common cartridge the X4650 and the X4690 uses is the #31 photo color print cartridge. Other cartridges for the printers are non-interchangeable. For your reference, you can click on this links to the Lexmark website. http://bit.ly/asi8dB and http://bit.ly/bvNeOa . First link shows you compatible cartridges for Lexmark X4650 and the second link is for Lexmark X4690. Hope this helps.
