I'm looking for Lexmark x3470 cartridge for my printer.How many prints will i get from 1 cartridge? Is it a home delivery item? whats its price? Can it be easily installed?

If the ink cartridges you purchased are not Lexmark - that could be the problem. I used to have a Lexmark printer and I did the same thing - I purchased ink cartridges that were compatible but not Lexmark brand. Everything seemed fine until I tried to print and then I would get the same error sign and low ink message and it would not print. I kept thinking I was doing something else wrong and tried everything. In the end I broke down and got ink cartridges from Lexmark and that solved the problem. Now I have a Brother printer and I never buy anything other than Brother ink cartridges because I'm always afraid of that same thing happening again. I wish I knew which printers WOULD accept those non name brand ink cartridges, but thus far I do not know of any printers that do. Hope this helps you.

Try to follow the steps below to determine what is causing the problem and fix the issue:

1. Make sure the printer is on.

2. 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/unplug the printer from the power source and then slide the carrier to the center.

3. Remove both cartridges from the carrier.

4. Close the printer cover.

5. Re-brick your printer. Pull out the power supply, black box where the power cord is plugged in at the back of the printer, and put it back after 30 seconds.

6. When the printer turns on, reinsert one cartridge first.

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. Then try to print a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi

How many time your reuse this cartridge, my cartridge life is over, pleas buy the new cartridge from Lexmark service centre..

Please remove the cartridges from the printer. Take a dry lint free paper towel and gently wipe the contacts on the back of the cartridge (not the bottom from where ink is present). Wipe the contacts inside the printer (on cartridge carrier). Please snap the cartridges back into the cartridge carrier and please try to print a printer self test.
Good Luck!!!!

That problem is related sometimes to old printer drivers. Please uninstall your printer from your PC and restart the PC then go to the Lexmark.com site and dowload the drivers for your X3470 those should be the new drivers and once installed they should not cause that problem.

This printer only has a color cartridge, but you can still use the color cartridge to print black and white. It mixes the cyan, magenta, and yellow inks to make black. You do not have to do anything special to make this happen--just print as normal.

If you have a 3470, you need a #1 cartridge. If you have a 3480, you need a #2 cartridge. If it is a 3400 series, there is only one cartridge. It lets you print both in color and in black.

Are you using an OEM cartridge or a refilled one?

Hello, always keep dockets. Could be a dud cartridge. Recommend clean unit with own printer program, especially a deep clean if you have this. Try cleaning manually with proper cleaning solution and cotton tip, where cartridge sits. Also, is the cartridge the correct generic equivalent of the genuine lexmark, you may have wrong no cartridge too. good luck, lilacgerry xxx

Never throw out any receipts!!! A lesson my dear mum taught me a long time ago. You need to pay attention to what the printer is telling you. Incorrect cartridge error message could mean a clogged printhead, most people think they have cleaned properly but did you do it with proper cleaning solution. Was it a refilled cartridge or new one? Are you certain you did not accidentally touch the gold areas (printer points) as this can put oils and dirt or residue on the cartidge. Gently wipe both heads on cartridge very softly with a non perfumed baby wipe! Yes a baby wipe (people laugh at me until they see their printer go again!!!) Now try printing again. You can get rid of error message only when you fix the problem. If nothing helps, try uninstalling the printer and reinstalling with original operating disc. And yes, the printer cartridges can be faulty. Never dispose of your old receipts until you are virtually replacing the next cartridge. I keep all receipts for all costly items in a clear slip folder, or staple to original barcodes of box they came in. Did you try disconnecting usb cables to printer and reconnecting to reset it.
