It is highly unlikely to be a driver issue.

Most modern cartridges have an ink level chip built on to them.

Should the level drop below 25% then most of these chips lock up and will not reset.

If you are lucky you should be able to find either a resetter
-cli8-pgi5.html" rel=nofollow target=_blank>chip resetter around on the internet

OR

Even better empty cartridges that never need to be reset.

That's the option I like I realise these are not for your specific printer but there are others listed on both those sites as well

Testimonial: "I think you are right. That is a great idea to find a a refillable cartridge! Thanks."

You may have to uninstall the driver and reinstall it again. but forst make sure you have an original new ink installed. sometimes if you use a refill, it does not change because the initial low ink the catridge had recorded on it, is stillmasked to it.

How to override lexmark s415 low ink

There's no way to override the low ink warning. If one of the cartridges is out of ink, you won't be able to continue printing.

Refilled cartridges will not report or reset the ink levels.

Refilled ink printer. still shows empty on the printer,s screen

Lexmark does not recommend the use of refilled/remanufactured cartridges. These tend to degrade print quality and printer/cartridge performance.
Please note that once a cartridge is refilled, it can no longer register its ink level.

Another thing which is mentioned at their support site is quote:
If you have refilled the cartridges you got along with the printer, you can't reset them. 23 and 24 are not meant to be refilled. They are what Lexmark call "return program cartridges"- they can't be refilled, you can send them back to Lexmark ( that's why they are called "return cartridges"). You need to buy either 23A and 24A or 34 and 35, those cartridges are refillable.
Here is a link to Lexmark, with a list of cartridge compatibility for your printer:

My lexmark X5410 will not accept the black and colored refilled ink cartridges from walgreens. It keeps reporting that the right cartridge is missing.

If you have refilled the cartridges 28 and 29, it's pretty normal that your printer won't print. Those cartridges are not for refill (they can be refilled, but won't work once the printer says they are empty). If you have refilled a 28A and 29A and it doesn't recognize the one of the cartridges, try removing them and clean the electric contacts with a dry cloth. Put them back in. If that doesn't help, I suggest you buy a new cartridge.

Can one reset the Lexmark P6250 printer refilled cartridge?

No, you can usually tell your printer to "ignore ink levels" when it gives the ink low warning on your computer screen. As long as they print just keep printing until they run out.

Lexmark X4530 Incorrect Cartridges.

By any chance did you get these cartridges refilled? If so then you may be out of luck as I read that Lexmark chip their cartridges/printers to reject refilled cartridges. I have the same problem at the moment just with the right (colur) cartridge. The cartridge is an original refillable Lexmark (i.e. grey box) I got the cartridge refilled twice and it worked fine, but the third time no joy. Research indicate that Lexmark program their printers to reject cartridges refilled 3 times!!

Is there a code needed to replace a refilled ink cartrige?

No code....try removing all cartridges, powering down the printer, disconnect the power, let sit 5 minutes, then hook back up and reinstall the carts......lexmark and dell will usually continually give a :"cartridge empty" error with refilled carts, just go to the printer properties, go to supplies, and uncheck the ink level indicator to get rid of the error display.
