Not printing correctly. Says to align cartriges. After aligning cartriges, it stills prints incorrectly no mater how many times I align cartriges.

Clean the ink cartrige and the cartrige carrier with lukewarm water or alcohol on a cotton cloth and then install the cartridge. Even if that does not work then you will have to reset the printer for which turn off the printer and then press and hold power and start buttons for 10-15sec and then release.. Then try it again.

Installed new black print cartridge and removed tape. Continues to say alignment. Will onlyprint alignment page

After you print the alignment page, I think you have to then scan the page in the orientation that it asks you to.
By doing this, the scanner can tell if the printer alignment is correct.

My Lexmark 5470 won't print anything but the alignment page. Then it says to remove the tape from the cartridge. There is no tape on the cartridge. I have cleaned it and it still won't print. Help I need...

I have the same problem as posted by tahoeowner. The printer indicates that I have an alignment issue and tells me to remove any tape from the cartridge. There is no tape on either cartridge, nor will the printer work with any other cartridges. I'm getting tired of wasting paper and ink with all the printer's "retry" messages.

Printer won't print

Open the Lexmark solution center that installed when you added the printer to your computer. Run the align cartridges. This should fix the problem.
