Why Are My Pages Printing Blank?
Hi,So I recently bought both a color and black ink cartridge for my Lexmark 1150x. Bought them both from Amazon, so I guess they were refills. So the first few times everything printed great - both black and white and in color. Now when I try to print something, my 1150x goes through the motions of printing, but when the page spits out...it is blank. Ink levels read fine Any ideals? Thanks.Rodney

It could be bad ink cartridges, but it could also be dirty print heads. I would try cleaning the print heads before returning the cartridges or installing new ones. If you're not sure how to clean the print heads, the instructions should be in the user manual.
