Why does my printer only print text and not images?

Lexmark printer wont print text?

  • my lexmark Z611 printer that i have with windows vista home premium wont print text like when i type in stuff in wordpad or microsoft word processor. I tried printing off the web too. And it only printed the pictures. For example if i printed this page now it would only print the yahoo logo and images, this question, or any text, would not show up. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, downloading all the drivers, restarting my computer, no results. The printer test page worked fine but everything else is messed up. It can only print images now and i dont feel like saving my text in paint to print it. I dont wanna buy a new one but if i have to i will. First I wanna fix this one. I use a color 26 cartridge which is moderatley new only used it a little.

  • Answer:

    You need to find the Vista drivers for it. You are trying to use XP drivers. That's why it won't work properly. Get them from Lexmark's website, if available. If not, complain to Lexmark, then, you may need to buy a new "Vista compatible" printer (not a Lexmark).
