The printer automatically aligns the print cartridge after a new one is installed. You can also align the print cartridge at other times to ensure optimal print quality. Indications that you need to align the print cartridge manually include borderless prints with white space
along an edge, colors not printing satisfactorily, or poor print quality.

What cartridge versions(model #) are you using? Make sure you are using genuine Lexmark cartridges. Cartridges for the X1150 are black: #16 or #17 and color: #26 or #27. Try to remove the cartridges from your printer. Close the cover. Unplug and replug your printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reinsert the cartridges and make sure they are properly inserted and secured in the cartridge carrier. Close the cover and try to print again. If error continues, please contact Lexmark technical support for additional assistance.
The cartridges for these printers have a limited lifespan, the ink can dry up after a while which is the result of your feint printing. You can remove the cartridge and try cleaning the tip using a cotton bud (or q-tipp) with just a little warm water. Ensure it is dry before placing back in the printer. If you still have feint printing then alas you need a new cartridge.
A laser printer needs toner to print, when this runs out the printer will print either blank or very faint images. You
need to replace the toner cartridge with a new one or a re-manufactured
toner cartridges. Re-manufactured toner cartridges are cheaper than new
toner cartridges for your model printer.
You can get a few more prints out of your toner cartridge by removing the toner cartridge from the printer and giving it a few horizontal shakes then place it back into the printer.
You can use the Lexmark #17 if you would like to pay even more for your ink. The #16 cartridge is the high capacity version of the #17. A Lexmark 16 should have 12mL ($3.06/mL) of ink while the 17 should have only 7mL($3.42/mL). Also be aware that the ink used in these cartridges will suffer from water evaporation quite quickly. If you do not print a lot, the water will evaporate and leave behind an ink sludge that will not print. We do not recommend Lexmarks for those who only print occasionally.
It is not unusual to receive a bad cartridge. The ink or the fiber in those cartridges are subject to blocking ( drying) while not in use.
That would be the most likely problem.
