| Theres about to be a hole in the wall... from where I chunk the darn printer! HELP! It will NOT print. I've refilled both printer cartridges. It goes through the motions of printing, but when the pages come out, they're blank. Its a lexmark 1240, any idea what the issue could be and how i can fix it?

| If you refilled and didn't use a new cartridge, maybe there is a problem with the cartridge itself? And is this the one where the cartridge kinda flips forward. Maybe it's not completely back in place? Hope it's fixed by now. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I do alot of printing and what I've learned in the last 7 years is using generic ink or filling your own cartridges can really mess up a printer. I advise spending the extra money to get the Ink from the MFG - that way - you aren't using something of lesser quality. I use only Manufacturers ink - I found that out the hard way years ago when I went thru 3 printers in one year. I was ordering ink online and the quality wasn't the same as real ink from the MFG - it was really hard on my printers. Try doing a deep cleaning - if your using 'generic' ink - it can mess with the printer 'heads' which it totally different than the cartridges - IF it is a printer head problem - you can order new printer heads from the MFG I buy my printers from COMP USA cause they have a 2 year return/upgrade program. It cost 50 bucks but for the amount of printing I do, it's WAY Worth it cause when my printer clogs or prints badly I can bring it in and get a new one. for your problem - go to your 'maintenence' options and click NOZZLE CHECK - if nothing prints - run a DEEP CLEANING (once) or regular 'CLEANING' and run that 3 times. Anything more than that just wastes your ink. After you do that - do an Alignment Check - if nothing works-you may have to look into getting new 'printer heads' ...sometimes it's cheaper to get a new printer - they can be expensive. Good luck - if you need help you can pm me - I have lots of printer problem experience LOL |

| thanks for the suggestions! Its been doing this awhile but i hadn't really tried to fix it since normally i'm on campus daily and its free to print from there. but now that school is over, I'm not on campus and I'm needing to print job apps, resumes and such for this summer. It was doing it with the cartirdge before i tried refilling. I'll try all the suggestions this afternoon when i have some patiences.
