OT - Installing Lexmark 3200 Print Cartridge
I have Windows 98 SE and was given this printer. I purchased just the black
cartridge as I cannot afford color--retired and fixed income. The test page prints but when I go to print articles nothing prints. Is there a site I can log in and troubleshoot this problem? Desperate for help! Lucy |

Lucy You may need both cartridges with some ink for this printer to work. The big problem is that these cartridges are very expensive (I didn't have much success refilling and the old ones are probably too dried out to try anyway) Much better to spend your money on a new cheap printer with cartridges like an Epson because after you will be able to obtain cheap compatible cartidges from somewhere like www.choicestationary.com Bob |

When you say "nothing prints", what happens exactly? Does the printer go through
the motions of printing, but the paper comes out blank? Or is there an error message? Or does nothing happen at all? -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Lucy" wrote in message ... I have Windows 98 SE and was given this printer.
