My printer wont work!! help!?

• My computer ran out of ink so i wnet out to buy some its a lexmark 2500 printer and it takes 28 black ink i put it in and it still wont work the first time i bought a number 2 black ink since the colored one was number 2 it didnt work still and a message comes up saying install a print cartridge what should i do?

• Answer:

  The #28 black and #29 color cartridges are what they refer to as "standard yield" cartridges and usually ship with a new printer. If either cartridge needs replacing, it's a sure bet that the printer won't print, so make sure the color cartridge has ink in it as well. After replacing a cartridge, be sure to use your printer software to clean the print heads and print a test page or two to be sure that the ink is flowing properly. For some great maintenance tips, downloadable test pages and helpful advice that'll save you hassles and money, check out the help page at Inkjet Oasis. http://www.inkjetoasis.ca/io_help.asp If you've tried everything and still can't print, try exchanging the cartridges. If you still can't print, it's time for a new printer. Additionally, your X2500 printer can use high yield cartridges. They'll be a little more expensive but using them will double the number of pages you'll be able to print. Lexmark #34 (18C0034) High Yield Black Lexmark #35 (18C0035) High Yield Color
