X85 lexmark Everything copied or printed gets jumbled together. for instance, the first and second sentence print over each other on the same line. I've already cleaned the roller and paper rack. Is there anything else i can do?

There could be something in the paper feeder that's blocking the paper path. Please follow steps below to identify and fix the problem:

1. Remove the sheets of paper from the feeder.

2. Grab a flashlight and look inside for any debris.

3. If you're willing and physically able, you may also turn the printer over. Any debris should just freely roll out from the feeder.

4. If feeder is clear, place the printer back on the table, open the printer cover and remove the cartridges.

5. Check the cartridge area for any obstructions/debris that could cause this error or problem.

6. If cartridge area is clear, close the cover.

7. Unplug and re-plug the printer into the power outlet to reset it.

8. When the printer turns on, reinsert the cartridges and load some paper. Try to print again.

7. Close the printer cover and check for any errors.

8. If no error appears, reinsert the other cartridge. Close the printer cover.

9. Replace whichever cartridge is causing the error to appear with a new cartridge.

Hmm...Likely a driver issue. Try downloading a new driver (more up-to-date. Remove the old driver first (Need help? Look on the net for 'Removing Printer drivers') I suggest unplugging the printer before installing the new driver as well.
Here is the driver site:

(Hint: Copy the whole link to notepad, make it all one long sentence, copy again and past into your browser)
Lexmark uses a dedicated 'Print spooler' that may be having issues. Ask a techy friend for help with this.

Hello. Try to unplug the printer from the power outlet for about 10-15 seconds to refresh itself. If that doesn't resolve the problem, it might be software communication issue. You can uninstall then reinstall the software. If you're computer is running on Windows, uninstall by going to Start Menu > Programs/All Programs > Lexmark Series folder > Tools/Uninstall. Reboot pc. Reinstall software. If your using Macintosh, go in the Lexmark folder and Uninstall. Reinstall software. Hope this helps.

Click on start, programs, lexmark x85
Click the "cartridges" tab and check the ink levels.
You may have to allign the print cartridges to set the color up correctly.

sure..you'll need drivers..get em here

you can get some here, of course..

Try cleaning the feed rollers. these are the rubber wheels that actually contact the paper and pull it through. If they get dirty, their grip on the paper will be less than adequate. Just use some clean water, or perhaps some rubbing alcohol, and a clean rag to wipe them thoroughly.

You didn't specify which operating system you have.

If you have Vista, people have reported success using the Windows 2000 driver.

Drivers can be downloaded from here:

This one is too lenghty to give you here, goto lexmark.com, and in support knowledge base, search with this line...blurry, fuzzy, or double print from a lexmark x4720...There is specific info on test pages you need to run to narrow this down.
It could even be a conflict with motherboard/proccessor that can occur with some e-machines, compacs and others using certain amd chipsets

 

Does carriage bash against side when power up? if so encoder strip is dirty or incorrectly seated... plastic strip inside printer lines on it 1cm wide, must sit vertical in slot on carriage

 

Might be somethin stopping print head from moving along rail, check ink carts are installed correctly and fully, check for paper squashed up left and right inside ends of printer. make sure carriage moves left and right

 

Try power up without cartridges and just black and just colour cart to eleminate cart faults does error change?
