Try to update the firmware of your printer but the printer needs to be connected to a computer for you to be able to update the firmware. Once you have connected it to a computer, just go to http://bit.ly/LXKFW to download the firmware update.

Also, try to perform a maintenance on the cartridges. To do that, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Maintenance > Deep Clean Printhead.
