It is now Feb 2014 has this printer been fixed? I had a 901 and replaced the head twice and printer twice within 2 weeks. Finally, Lexmark is sending me a new 915. I asked for one of their laser models with no luck. Hoping the 915 is finally fixed. I...

My understanding is Lexmark is either now out of biz or soon will be. I finally just donated mine to GoodWill along with a boxed new printhead. Worst most time consuming printer to keep operational of my lifetime. Hope your experience gets better

I have no had this sprinter for less than a year . I have had to get a new print head once. The latest problem was with the black ink cartridge. I showed 50% left but wouldn't print. I tried cleaning the print head and then tried deep cleaning the print head. I wound up replacing the black cartridge and the Cyan and Magenta because they ran out during cleaning process. I cannot recommend this printer.

Not sure of your question, but I have 2 of these printers. Both are running on Windows 7 and work excellent. It comes with software. Lexmark has sent software updates. I highly recommend this printer for home use.

This is not normal in my experience. I've had the printer for more than a year and have never experienced the situation you describe. No idea what it indicates specifically but it's not normal. I suggest you contact Lexmark customer service. Perhaps they will have some idea of the source of the problem.

Its to funny that you'd say that about compatible replacement cartridges. I have a small Canon i560 printer and used compatible cartridges in it - since then, no matter that I've since replaced them with Canon cartridges - it prints 2 brownish lines at the end of the page. Pretty aggravating - have tried everything to fix this - looks like the only fix there is is to buy a new printer - would you buy the Pro 9000 again if you had it to do over.

I agree. They had to send me another yellow one and refunded part of the cost since I was not satisfied with their products. However, I did replace the magenta and it worked fine. The black did not, so I had to order another one from Lexmark.

I have the same question. Did they stop printing it because a new one is coming out soon?

Go on Lexmark website and call their customer support. They had problems with them and there is a free exchange program on the print head!

Funny, Kodak wanted to replace mine with a refurbished printer costing to much for what it is when the printhead would not move after trying all the suggestions for fixing the problem. My husband did get it working again by taking it apart but I had already bought myself an HP Officejet which works great. And the Office Hero 6.1 quit working again so I am sorry I can't help but my suggestion to you is stay away from the Kodak and throw it in the trash. Kodak is not an American product any longer. The only good thing about the printer I thought was the cost of the ink. The HP ink is expensive but it seems to last me a lot longer!

I did research on lexmark.com-only three of their printers show compatible with 105xl, pinnacle 805,901,902your question says 150xl-picture shows 105XL-if you ordered the 105XL, is probably not compatible

It is one of the built in features of this printer, coupled with the auto ink waste system this will ensure that you spend a fortune trying to get a usable printout from this printer. Best bet, don't ever buy a Lexmark again. I believe one of the firmware updates reduces this error, it also makes it almost impossible to use anything but Lexmark inks.

Like Thomas stated, the Lexmark website. No promise the new one will be any better though. Good luck.

Hmm. When I go to the Lexmark website and look up the correct ink cartridge for this model printer, they say it's the 100XL series. Ouch. I know how much those cost, and now that they're opened I don't think anyone will take them back. I'd get them out of the printer asap so as not to damage it. Sorry I don't have good news. Always look at the cartridges that come with the printer first or look it up on the mfr's website so you know you're ordering the correct product.

I really like this printer. It has some great features like automatically shutting down when I shut off my (connected) computer. Plus fairly large ink cartridges. The last time I checked (about 2 months ago) there were no drivers for Windows 7, and I don't know about OS7. Try calling Lexmark Customer serice. It should be easy to Google.

Well, I had a problem with a frozen print head and contacted what is now Kodak support (sold by Kodak after the bankruptcy). It was a nightmare. Since these printers are relatively inexpensive, I purchased a new HP 5530 from Amazon. Well, the day before the printer arrived my Kodak came back to life. I didn't return the HP since I figured the Kodak would die again soon. That was 3 months ago. The Kodak is still running. Turn it off for a few days and if you're religious, prayer wouldn't hurt.

Check the expiration date to be sure it is okay. I have gotten some that were old. Mostly it is probably your print head. I have found that many times they cannot be fixed by realigning or cleaning but have to be replaced. Sorry but it is usually cheaper to get a new printer.
