Lexmark X75 inkjet won't print after refill

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I'm having same problem as well as funny fault codes appearing.
I have found that if I remove the colour cartridge, but then tell the
printer it has a used one still in it, I can run test/cartridge clean with
only the black cartridge in.

Open Lexmark solution centre, go to maintenance, select replace print
cartridge.
Remove the cartridge, close the printer, then select the normal cartridge
type and say yes it's a used one.
