and tried to print and it only prints blank pages
Hello everybody. Try this :
Go to the printer properties by right clicking the default printer icon on Printer & Faxes in the Control Panel.
Go to Advanced Options and select the option that reads "Print Directly to the Printer."
It worked for me :p . the printer was not printing from Word and other programs but was printing test pages ok and the ink cartridges are new.
How fast did you refill it! Could be air bubbles. Place cartrige print head on a damp towel, see if ink comes out...leave to weep for a few minutes, then reinstall.
if you are using a generic ink, could be the wrong type of ink. Many printers now, use pigmented ink. Generic is dye based (old style)

try turning off the printer then reboot the PC, then turn on the printer if this doesn't work try the software may not be installed properly. Try the following:
1 Right-click the My computer icon.
For Windows XP, click Start to access the My computer icon.
2 Click Properties.
3 For Windows 98 or Windows Me, click the Device Manager tab.
For Windows 2000 or Windows XP, select the Hardware tab, and then click
the Device Manager button.
4 Look for the Other Devices category. If there are any Lexmark devices
shown here, highlight them and, then press the Delete key.
Note: The Other Devices category appears only when unknown devices
are present. Do not delete any Lexmark items unless they are
present under the Other Devices category.
5 Insert the CD, and install the software again. Do not restart the computer.
