Lexmark printer ink..?

I have just refilled my ink cartridge but when I try to print, the computer says the cartridge is empty and won't print.


Anyone know what's going on?

You have wasted your money. The ';smart chip'; monitors ink usage and is not consumer resettable. The print heads are not made to be refilled successfully, as the replacement ink is different from the OEM ink that it was designed to use in the first place.





If cost is the primary reason for refilling, then consider getting a Kodak printer. The replacement tanks cost about half of what other manufactures charge.Lexmark printer ink..?
Lexmark's new model of printers WILL not print with refills - ever!





As other have said cartridges have chips in them that tell the printer the ink is out and this in turns sends a warning to you to buy new ink.





The cartridge nor the printer can physical see inside the cartridge so it is still empty to it no matter how much ink you put in it. It needs new chip with new information to tell it you have a new ink so print! The old chip is essential dead.





With some of the individual ink cartridge sytstems you can buy a chip re-setter as they have a microchip on them. With the two ink sytems there are not resetter machines availbale to my knowledge so unless your printer lets you print by resetting it manually, which then constantly tells you before every print the ink is low, then it will not print. Lexamrk are one make of printer that will not let you ever reset -full stop. Canon and HP will.
You'll need a resetter. Go and google you cartridge number, and then start adding words like refill, reset, compatibles etc. and you'll find a way to do it. It's not just a case of top-up and away you go, the manufacturers have gotten wise to that, there many ways to print on the cheap, CISS, chipping, eeprom reprogramming etc.. Have fun!
the answer depends on your printer model. Check out this page http://www.castleink.com/_a-lexmark-rese鈥?/a> which lists out instructions for each kind of Lexmark printer.
