Lexmark Z33

[tkbirdie]

I have a Lexmark Z33. I replaced the ink a couple of weeks ago and I
printed my coursework fine. I have not printed much since. Now, it just
keeps printing blank pages. I have removed and reinstalled the printer.
I have turned it off and back on again. I cleaned the cartridges as
stated on the Lexmark website. It did not work. I need to print my
coursework before tomorrow.
I hope there is someone who can help me.
Thank you.

You mean a nozzle clean? Lexmark ink can dry up, blocking the nozzles,
but not everything at once. However, try this. Take a lightly wet paper
towel and form a pad. Gently pat the nozzles and see if you get any color
(or black)--you should if the ink is flowing. Re-insert cartrtidge and try
a test print (a lot less ink used than a nozzle clean). If tempted to
wipe, do it along the path the cart travels, not up and down (relatively).

Look at the contacts on the back of the cartridge--are they dirty? A
little (I think) isopropyl alcohol might clean then.

Other than that, is your printer still selected in the word processor?
