Hi,

If you are getting Incompatible ink cartridge error and These cartridges were replaced a year ago, I think its time you call them once again. ( 1-800-474-6836 ) and report the issue. They will ask you for the Cartridge details like part # and expiry date on the cartridge.

Color ink cartridge

Well due to some problem in cartridge you would be facing this problem.however you can do try this.

Please clean your cartridge once again with some spirit.

Fix it well in the printer afterward.

Than use normal paper and print in color.

If than also it does not work that means the bar-code of the cartridge has problem in it so the printer is unable to read that code, so for that you need to change the whole cartridge.

Or if your printer had valid in warranty period and it still in that period just give it to a service center.

If you still had any confusion regarding the same problem or nay other please do reply.

Naiven.

I am getting an error message that says "toner is not set, insert toner." I purchased a brand new cartridge, have taken it out a bunch of times and tried resetting it, nothing works. I've had the printer...

I had a similar problem on a Lexmark T520. Some of the off brand generic (and even a few brand name) toner cartridges have slight changes in design that make them miss, or nearly miss the sensor that indicates they're installed. this is usually a metal or plastic actuator on the top of the front panel door.

You can try putting pressure on the printer at different points on the cover. If this wakes up the printer you can either tape paper on the cartridge to make it the right shape to hit the sensor, or get a cartridge from a different manufacturer.

Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and when the CD software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud
