Lexmark does not recommend the use of refilled or unauthorized cartridges. These tend to degrade print quality and cartridge/printer performance. I would highly recommend you replace your non-Lexmark cartridges with new genuine ones.
Lexmark does not recommend the use of refilled/remanufactured cartridges. They tend to degrade print quality and printer/cartridge performance.
Note that once a cartridge is refilled, it can no longer register its ink level.
Try to manually wipe the black cartridge nozzles with a moistened soft cloth to clean it from dirts and clogs. Unplug and replug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reinsert the black cartridge. If error continues, please contact Lexmark technical support for additional assistance.
Some of these are so iffy I have a printer that says the ink is low when I still have at least half a cartrage left also the ink levels on the computer are ESTIMATED not actualy tested.
“Lexmark does not support the refilling of its ink cartridges. Refilling the ink cartridges can cause them to leak, thus clogging or even damaging the print head. Any damage to your printer caused by refilled ink cartridges may not be covered under warranty”. Please use genuine Lexmark cartridges for best results.
Lexmark and Dell use a sensor in the cartridge to sense a low ink level. Once the sensor has been activated, you cannot reset it. The printer should work fine except for the fact that you'll have to override the "low ink" message on your computer.
Manufacurers don't make money on printer hardware. All the money is made from ink replacement, so they make it as difficult as possible to use anything other than the stuff you buy from them. Some (HP) put in chips for an "expiration" of the ink/toner. Go beyond the expiration date, the thing won't work.
