Cartridge Error: 1200
The cartridge carrier is jammed.
1. Turn off you all-in-one
2. Unplug the all-in-one form the wall outlet.
3. Open the control panel.

5. Make sure the cartridges are snapped in place in the carrier.
6. Check for objects obstructing the carrier.

8. Press power to turn your all-in-one back on.
Hope this resolves your issues.
The ultimate fix for this problem is to give your Lemark and Dell printers to people that you really dislike. Let them live with the frustration. Then buy yourself a Hewlett Packard, Canon, or Epson printer. Check the cost of the cartridges for each brand prior to making a purchase. Purchase the printer with the least expensive cartridges and one that will take the generic (compatible) cartridges available in retail stores and refill stores. My personal favorite are the Epsons. They print excellent colors and are very affordable to own, and most important, operate.
