I have an lexmark all in printer and i just recently brought refill ink and when i install them it keep telling me unsupported cartridge please help

Though Lexmark does not recommend using refilled ink cartridges, you may try to refer to this article in the Lexmark website on Unsupported Cartridge Error on a Lexmark X3330/X3350 All-In-One to determine and resolve the problem. If error continues, try to insert a different known working cartridge. Thanks.

Lexmark 2500 series ink cartridge problems

ok, i called lexmark and finally figured out the problem so many people are having with the unsupported cartridge error. it seems there are a few different varieties of 2500 series printers. mine for example is a 2500, came with a 2500 series user manual, but is actually considered a 2580! this is huge for the ink cartridge- as a 2580 is the only version that takes number 2 and number 3 cartridges. i switched from the 28 and 29 cartridges that the manual said to use and the box said was compatible for and put the 2 and 3 cartridges in, and it worked fine. i complained to lexmark that the manual is deciving and costing people money. she offered to send me the right cartridges free of charge. i hope this helps some of you!<br />

I have a lexmark 2580, I keep getting 'unsupported cartridge' message, and one of the lights on the printer is constantly blinking. I have brand new lexmark cartidges installed.

Problem Unsupported Cartridge; Error: "Unsupported cartridge"; Incompatible cartridge error; Incompatible cartridge in the printer; Cartridge not recognized Solution What you will see
When a cartridge is inserted, an Unsupported Cartridge error message is displayed on the printer operator panel.
Affected printers
This issue affects printers sold exclusively in the Dixon Store Group (DSG) in Europe and in Circuit City in the U.S. NOTE: The cartridges for these printers are sold exclusively in these stores or on their websites.
Explanation
The printers listed in the table below are compatible with a #2 cartridge (in single cartridge printers) or a combination of #2 and #3 cartridges (in two-cartridge printers). They do not support the standard color 28A 35, and Mono 29A 34 ink cartridges. If the standard color 28A 35 or Mono 29A 34 ink cartridges are used in these printers, they will fail to print and the printer will post an Unsupported Cartridge error message.
Solution
Lexmark recommends using either a #2 cartridge for single-cartridge printers or a combination of #2 and #3 cartridges in two-cartridge printers.

Unsupported cartridge

If this is a genuine Lexmark device and a genuine Lexmark cartridge and you followed all the install instructions, return it to where you bought it for a replacement. If you get grief there, contact Lexmark directly. Please have your receipt available when you take these actions.

Unsupported cartridge message

I was having this problem with a Z730. The printer was finally working again after removing and inserting ink cartridge like 40-50 times. No pun intended. After installing cartridge try turning off printer and then back on.
