Printer Problems

[Callie]

So. I have a Lexmark All in One X2350 printer.
I've never had a problem with it before until now.
I put a new cartridge in and it says there is no cartridge. Yet if i put the old empty one back in it recgonizes it.
You never notice how much you need a printer until it's gone.
Any advice?

Try checking there isn't any dust or something on the little strip on the cartridge, the bit that the printer recognizes it by. I'm no expert but it worked for me.

I've tried that for both the cartridge and in the printer...my mom [[who knows nothing about computers]] keeps telling me that she dosent think it's the cartridge

Is it a laser printer? We had that problem but we cleaned the strip thing on the cartridge and it worked again.

[Callie]

No, i think it's just a regular printer, nothing says inkjet

Try taking the cartridge back and get another one. It could just be that it's just not going to work.

Well, I told my mom that it was probably just the cartridge, and she keeps saying she's not paying another 21 dollars for the chance of it not working again. So she's making me try everything. I'm not sure if our walmart would take it as a return, they're pickier than most places for some reason...
