Hi All
I have a lexmark Z55 inkjet printer. I apparently haven't printed color with it for a while. It would print black-separate cartridge-fine. It would print cyan & yellow okay. It wouldn't print magenta at all. I cleaned the print heads, same result. I had a refill kit. I had refilled the black cartridge previously and that worked fine. I hadn't refilled the color cartridge. I figured the magenta was out of ink and now was as good a time as any to try the refill kit. I did the refill routine and reinstalled the color cartridge, same result, no magenta. I'll retry it again in the morning. If still no luck, do you think a new color cartridge(about $35) will fix my problem or is it likely a printer problem? I hate to buy a new cartridge if that doesn't fix the problem, a new cartridge is a significant portion of the cost of a new printer.
Thanks for any input.
