Lexmark 2600 My computer (Dell) says Lexmark 2600 under "printers", so I assume it took the installation CD, but it's not talking to the printer. The printer just sets there and does nothing when I hit "print"

A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Simply disconnect the printer from your computer (if USB connected)> reboot your pc > unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to your computer (if USB connected). Then try to print again once the computer fully recognizes the USB connection or when the WiFi light on the printer turns solid green (if WiFi connected.).


If that doesn't help, try the steps below:

  1. Disconnect the USB cable connecting the printer from your computer.
  2. On your computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.
  3. Delete the Lexmark print object.
  4. Reboot computer.
  5. Re-brick your printer by pulling out the power supply - black box where the power cord is plugged into on the back of the printer, and re-plug after 30 seconds.
  6. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to the computer.
  7. Wait until your computer fully recognizes the USB connection. To check, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes. If you see a new Lexmark print object in the list, try to print a document to verify that the problem is fixed.

You may also try to update your printer driver by visiting the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/aNGYmW. Select your operating system, download and execute the file.

SOURCE: Lexmark 2600 not printing

I recently had the same problem. Your Lexmark printer has automatically placed itself on pause. You must go to the control panel and unpause it from there. Its' simple, just go to control panel and select printer and faxes. Select your Lexmark printer and right click it. Then select resume from the drop down menu. Your printer is now unpaused and ready to print!

SOURCE: Can't print black and white only with Lexmark 2600!

Hi MikeC,

Most of the time this is due to the black cartridge being out of ink. The Lexmark uses all the colors to create black when the black ink cartridge runs out, but won't let you print black because it is essentially saving ink.

Hope that's the reason and it isn't the printer failing. Good luck! :)

Testimonial: "I have discovered that the Black cart is showing up as grey with a question mark on it, (in the Lexmark Service Centre)instead of showing the level."

SOURCE: Lexmark 2600 scanning to MAC-no can do

Edward, I have this same problem. Were you able to solve it? Anyone, can you help? I have installed the drivers. When I connect the printer to my Mac, it launches ImageCapture and previews the scan fine. But I am unable to get the "scan" button to become active, adn there is no place to save the scan. If I click "save pdf to iphoto" it saves a pdf of the entire screen, rather than just the photo. Appears not to be Mac compatible for scanning purposes. Thank you for your help.

Scanner wont scan

Try using the Lexmark Productivity Studio. To access that, on your computer, click on Start > All Programs > Lexmark 2600 Series > Lexmark Productivity Studio.

If that doesn't show up as an option, install the Lexmark Productivity Studio using the installation CD of your printer.

I can't get my Lexmark X2670 to scan and transfer the document to my computer other than as a .JPG file which is taking up too much space.

Try to access the Lexmark Productivity Studio. Just click on Start > All Programs > Lexmark 2600 Series > Lexmark Productivity Studio.

You can try scanning to PDF. If that option is grayed out, you'll need to install the OCR found in the installation CD of your printer.

Hi lexmark. we have basic lexmark printr/scannr -- model# 4690 --- The desktop pc which initially took the lexmark CD for config. is currently off site being repaired. OUR QUESTION IS.., well,we are ...

You will have to install the printer driver software on the other computer.
During install it should ask if the printer is a network printer or direct conncected -- click network connection.

You should be able to download the software package at Lexmark's website.

I didn't get instruction book when bought new so don't know how to copy or scan. can you please help?

If you have already installed the Lexmark X2670 driver on your computer (Windows), try to view the printer's User's Guide by going to the Start menu ? All Programs/Programs ? Lexmark 2600 Series ? User's Guide. If not, you can download the User's Guide for free from the Lexmark website at Lexmark 2600 Series User's Guide. User's Guide gives you some other instructions as well on how to use other features of the printer. Thanks.
