Smash printer with axe or sledgehammer. Grin maniacally. After researching on internet,go out & buy new printer that allows you to print till empty & refill again! Obviously not a Lexmark...
Please follow the steps below to identify and fix cartridge
issues:
Make sure the printer is on.
Open the printer cover. The
print cartridge carrier moves and stops at the loading position, unless
the All-In-One is busy. Note: If the carrier does not automatically move
to the center, turn off the printer or unplug the printer from the power
source and then carefully slide the carrier to the center.
Remove both cartridges from the
carrier.
Close the printer cover.
Re-brick your printer by
pulling out the power supply - black box behind the printer where the
power cord is plugged in to, and re-plug after 30 seconds.
When the printer turns on,
reinsert one cartridge first. Close the printer cover and check for any
errors.
If no error appears, reinsert
the other cartridge. Close the printer cover.
If problem continues and you're using brand new genuine Lexmark cartridges, please contact Lexmark Technical Support Center for further assistance.
Try to
clean the print cartridge nozzles. On your computer, go to Start menu >
All Programs / Programs > Lexmark Z600 Series > select Lexmark Solution
Center. From the Maintenance tab, select Clean to fix horizontal streaks.
Your printer will then print a clean test page forcing ink through the
cartridge nozzles and clean them. Try to print your document again and to
check if print quality is achieved.
The reason why your Lexmark printer keeps on telling you to install new cartridge because the printer have ink cartridge detection. Meaning it will detect whether that particular cartridge is an old one or not.
Each Ink Cartridges have its code and it will be registered to the printer once you have connected it. The printer will assume the ink level and once it is empty, that particular Lexmark Ink Cartridge will be registered to your printer as an empty ink cartridge and needed to be replace with a new one.
I would suggest getting a genuine new cartridge instead of refilling the ink cartridges.
take out the cartridge , turn off your printer and take out all the cables behind your printer and wait for 5 minutes and put everything back in.. if the same error shows.. im sorry but your printer needs to be replaced.
Try to remove and reinstall Ink Cartridges while printer is ON. Be sure the it is lock in place on the cartridge holder. If same issue, power off the printer and unplug and replug the power adapter. Check if the error has gone.
To get your printer to recognize the new cartridge; go to start - printer and faxes -right click on printer - preferences (printing preferences) -settings -load factory settings. Print test page Ctrl+P
