Have you tried contacting Lexmark tech support for help?
I ask because you state that the printer stopped working after an ink
cartridge change. That sounds like some sort of hardware malfunction.
Changing an ink cartridge should not require any software adjustments.

Here's the link to Lexmark tech support for your printer:

If you still need to post with software questions, please not that this
group is for .NET Framework issues. You need to post in an appropriate
Windows group. If you post back with the version of Windows you are running,
I'll be glad to recommend an appropriate group.
