Lexmark blackmark
Hi,
My son has a networked Lexmark X1150, and the black ink printing is affected by horizontal striping to the point of illegibility.
The ink level indicator is showing about 40% but the faintness of the print seems to indicate that it is low.
The odd thing is, that reading through help, one of the statements says that if the printer is stopping every few lines and showing this striping, the fault may lie with the fact that the speed of data to the printer is too fast or slow. It IS hesitating in this way.
It seems very old tech stuff, not to be able to down-load a test page quickly. Test page colour is OK black is not, and a simple Word doc is faulty…I am doing it on the PC that is connected to the printer by the way. (Win XP )
It may of course be that the ink is gone and the level indicator is not working, but I don’t want to shell out for a new cartridge if it still has some life in it. The heads have been cleaned and seem clean.
Anyone have any experience of this? RB
