Lexmark X2580 won't print after cartridge refill

Had my black cartridge refilled at Walgreen's. Now when I try to print, it wants to print a test page for alignment. I did that and scanned it, then it told me alignment was complete, and to resend my original print job. Hit the print button again, and it wants to print another alignment page.

I know this is something that you may not want to hear... I used to work for Pitney Bowes fixing postage machines.. these machines have inkjet printers in them. If you use refills other words ink not from the manufacturer it will cause you problems. I know that it might work a few times without problems... but I have seen it first hand at Pitney Bowes... If you don't use the manufacters ink it will destroy your printers. In your case go back to using the Lexmark cartridge... see if that solves the problem. Which it very well could work off the Lexmark brand again. Printer manufactures do this on purpose you have to buy their ink! In any case good luck.

My printers color won't work, I just filled it with 4.5 ml of each color. the black is also really patchy. I want my lexmark z1420 to just work!!! Help!!!

It could be due to the refilled cartridge in your printer. Refilled cartridges tend to degrade print quality and in performance. Try to replace your cartridges with genuine Lexmark cartridges.

My printer dont print right it skips and i just put a new refill in

It could be due to the refilled cartridge you are inserting in the printer. Refilled cartridges tend to degrade in print quality and cartridge performance.
You can try to clean the cartridge nozzles. On the printer operator panel, on Copy mode, press the Menu button > Tools > Maintenance > Clean Cartridges. Your printer will then print a test page forcing ink through the cartridge nozzles and clean them.
Try to print your document again to verify that the print quality has improved.
If that doesn't help, I would suggest you replace your refilled cartridges with new genuine Lexmark cartridges.

Will not print.

First try to clean the gold contact points inside the printer, where the cartridge identification chip comes into the contact with the printer. this is located inside the cartrige slots. If that doesnt work check that the correct colours are being inserted into the correct slots. If you are using un-original cartridges or cartridges that have been refilled they may be incompatible or have been damaged through refilling, you must purchase original lexmark cartridges.

I've refilled my black ink cartridge #36 and put it into my Lexmark 5650. My computer will not let me print - not even to "complete a page" print. It says that I need more ink. I have windows vistas. What...

Lexmark 36 and 37 cartridges cannot be refilled. When your ink levels drop below a certain point your printer deactivates the electronics on your cartridge so you cannot refill them. I own a Cartridge World ink refilling shop and I sell Lexmark originals for the 36 and 37 because of this reason. Unfortunately you purchased a machine that you have to buy expensive original ink for. You need to buy Lexmark original 36 and 37 to get your printer to work. As a refiller I never recommend someone buy a Lexmark printer if they ever want to use refills.

Lexmark x4850. swapped oem with non-oem black cartridge. will not print black now. message says warranty does not support non-lexmark and prints blank pages.

“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.

Which black cartridge does this need?

Yes you can refill the cartridges. Also Walgreen's refill cartridges now. $10. for black and $15. for colr cartridge refills. I've been using their refills and they work fine. It's less mess that doing it myself. And they use good quality ink... But you can refill them.They also carry universal refill kits at walgreen also. Also the cartridges are not hard to find you can order them at several places online. Google x1240 for sites. Also Staples sell the cartridges.
