Hi' Everyone,
I have a Lexmark printer, scanner copier and no matter what I do it only
prints colour in blue. I have just refilled the cartridges, the black is
fine but can't get the colour to print properly. I've followed all the
instructions in the manual but nothing works. I have refilled my cartridges
once before and it worked fine but can only get blue now. Does anyone know
what I am doing wrong apart from not buying a new cartridge as they are very
expensive. I buy Calidad ink to refill my Canon and Lexmark. the Canon works
well and usually the Lexmark. any help appreciated.
thank you,
Casey.

YES YOU ARE BUYING SOMETHING AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING BECAUSE
THE SELLER WILL NOT TELL YOU. IN ALL FAIRNESS YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED.

I am assuming this is a printer that uses integral cartridges (printhead in the
cartridge).
If so it looks like you need to get a new colour cartridge. But first do you
get all three colours if you press the printhead onto a damp paper towel? You
may find one or more colours missing - that means a new cartridge is needed
unless you can recover it by steaming the cartridge from the spout of a kettle
(carefully to avoid scalds).
BTW I do not have a high regard for Calidad, there are better quality inks
available.

What do you expect? You bought a color printer. Blue is a color. Sorry,
you got what you bought

I'm not familiar with Lexmark, but I believe I've heard the print head
is in the cartridge like with most HPs. If so, there should be some
electrical contacts to run that print head. Just as general advice, be
sure they, and the corresponding ones on the printer, are clean and free
of ink. It couldn't hurt, and might help.

Was shouting necessary?

Thanks TJ, I think you are correct but will call Lexmark anyway.

It is for ol' measekite. There is speculation that he is unable to find
the "Caps Lock" key on his keyboard.

But replying to same just pops him out for those who've long ago learned
there is no discussion, just puerile ravings.
