SOURCE: My printing displays wrong ink levels and prints blank pages
If your cartridge is new (or full) and you know that not just from ink levels display, then you did not used the printer for a while (at least a month) and the nozzles of the cartridge are clogged. If u used the cartridghe 4 or 5 moths ago, then the whole cartridge is dryed out, so get out and get yourself a new cartridge.
If it's just a month, then you should put a paper-tissue on a small plate (like a coffee-cup plate), then put some boiling water on it, just 2~3mm of water over the tissue.
Put the cartridge with the nozzles part downside on the tissue, in the hot water.
Let it stay there in the water 30 min.
Put the cartridge in an other clean tissue, than shake it strongy as if you want to force ink to get out trough the nozzles. Then clean gentle the nozzle part of the cartridge on some sheets of tissue.
Install the cartridges it in the printer and run a few cleaning processes from the printers maintenance software.
If the cartridge is new and just installed in the printer, and you have the inklevels but it does not print, then get it out of the printer and back to the store, they should replace it for you. I hope you removed the protective plastic stripe that covers the nozzles before installing the cartridge?...
OK, let ne know please how things evolve.
Hope it helped you, rate the solution.
Almoust forgot: ink levels are displayed by Lexmark inkprinters by estimating the ink consumed trough you printing process, it has no sensors in the cartridge. It's just kind of a counter, you can evan set an empty cartridge to be seen as a full one.

remove the carts & using a wet paper towel, clean the nozzles on the carts to see if your getting any traces of ink. U can also go to the solution center & under maintainence u will fine an option Clean to fix horizontal. try this twice that should also clear any blocks then try this
If the cart has any ink it will print 3 color lines & a blk line

Hello Doodle,
It is the problem with the software and also the page settings. This issue can also occur due to the corrupted registry.
How ever the best way to resolve the issue is
1. Uninstall the software completely.
2. restart the computer
3. delete the temporary files
4. reinstall the updated software(do not use the cd) for your lexmark printer by clicking on the weblink below:
http://downloads.lexmark.com/perl/downloads/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:0:0:0
Once you open the webpage above select your printer model and follow the on screen instructions
Thank you. Best of Luck.

Make sure that what you are printing from the PC is black. This sounds so trite, but if for some reason you have set the font to white you may be able to see what you have written on the screen - but it won't print. Another possibility is that somehow the print in the document has been set to 'hidden'. That doesn't help either.
Failing that you may have to reinstall the printer. Use the printer disc to do this.
SOURCE: print half of full page
If the printer starts to print and stop in the middle check the eletricity of your place, this may have a variation. If the printer prints a half page and give you the paper, with no jam, check the cartridges and then the main board.
