Lexmark Printer- ink?

I have a Lexmark 2500 series. I just got some ink and the black ink works, but not the colored one. [they're in the same box] The colored one says the number [2] on it?





HELP?!

Check to see if the hole where the colored ink would go through is clogged. You can use a QTip and alcohol to clean it out if it is. You can often take the printer to a computer shop and they can do it for you, but they may charge you.





Usually this model won't print unless it detects both black and color ink, so if you can print black, there is a good chance that the color cartridge cradle/output is clogged. You should also try another, new, name brand (not generic) color cartridge just to make sure it isn't the cartridge itself. Just because they came in the same box doesn't mean anything - especially if they are generic or refilled, etc.Lexmark Printer- ink?
I would return it and get a replacement cartridge. Sounds like the printhead is dried out. You could try a damp warm cloth on it to see if the ink will come out.
