Question about Lexmark X1270 All-In-One InkJet Printer

1 Answer

Lexmark x 1270 & x1290 printer won't print black after using re-filled cartridges.

I have a Lexmark X1270 & X1290 printer that have stopped printing using re-filled cartridges or new black cartridges. The color stopped printing on the X1270 printer but after Lexmark sent me a new COLOR cartridge it started printing COLOR but stopped printing BLACK,
I have tried all of the suggestions from Lexmark Tech. Services but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help?

    This printer is garbage. It printed two documents when I bought it, then a month later wouldn't print. I bought new cartridges and the same problem. Lexmark wants me to send them my cartridges to be tested and buy new cartridges for now. I see how they make their money through cheap ink.

    I have the same problem as others---new black cartrige but it won't print. Does anyone have a solution?

  • Anonymous Apr 13, 2009

    The printer is about 12 months old and rarely used. It started only printing pink so I renewed the black cartridge and it still only printed pink. After doing loads of cleaning cycles there is a feint yellow line on the test print now as well as magenta but still no black. This is really unacceptable, what do I do now, throw away a practically new printer that has only printed out a few emails & maps? They are genuine Lexmark cartridgdes and I expected better. I believe that the printhead is part of the cartridge so cannot even attempt to clean it - any suggestions?

Lexmark X1290. I have been using the black cartridge....its still got ink in it and I am getting a Cartridge Missing Error. I have cleaned the cartridge and still no luck. What else can I do to fix the...

Try to clean the cartridge nozzles using the Lexmark Solution Center on your computer. Launch the application from All Programs > Lexmark 1200 Series Printer > Tools > Lexmark Solution Center. From the Maintenance tab, select Clean to fix horizontal lines. Your printer will then print a page forcing ink through the cartridge nozzles and clean them. Once done, try to print again and check if black is printing properly now. If that doesn't help, try to insert a different known working black cartridge to determine if the other is fautly.

What kinda ink does my lexmark x1290 take

Apparently this particular printer is no longer on the market. The 1270 is listed and appears to be the same printer except it's white instead of black. The cartridges listed for that printer arelexmark 16, 17, 26, or 27.

Hope that helps.

After cancing colour cartridge, it dont print colour anymore.

Double check the cartridge to make sure there is no packing tape still over the print head, make sure it is not expired if there is a expiration date on the cartridge. Next try a clean print head cycle on the cartridge and you may even clean the print head portion of the cartridge manually using a little alcohol soaked onto a q-tip. Does the printer still print black? If so it is always possible you got a bad cartridge.

Lexmark x1270 printer power button blinking won't print

I had the same issue with my Lexmark X1290, I solved it by opening up the device, so the ink cartridges should pop, they didn't so I pressed the power button to switch it off, and then switched it back on (with the device open!) and all the paper flowed out, the flashing stopped and it could print again. Good Luck!
