Is this a genuine Lexmark cartridge - there are so many wannabees listed, and what does OEM mean?

oem means original equipment mfger. this a great product, but has a tendency to run out, when in fact there is still ink in cartridge.

yes it is genuine unless it is a great fake, OEM means original equipment manufacturer

Your printer is probably not recognizing the generic cartridge because the printer manufacturer wants you to buy the OEM cartridge. Go to the internet to see how to reset your printer.

The return Progtam is when you agree to send back the empty cartridges for the factory to refill and send out to buy again. At one time they offered so much for each one one that you returned. Not sure if they still do that. Your cartridge error is the printer does not like the brand that you put in the printer to print with. I used a off bramd one time for it was cheaper and my printer did not like it and if you have a Lexmark that printer is fussy. It has something to do with the lines on the cartridge. I do not buy any thing but Lexmark brand anymore. Love the xl sizes for it lasts so long.

It is the real Lexmark product. It is not in a box, but is in the sealed inner package. I have no problem with it.

This picture does not show "EPSON" on the cartridge, so I would doubt that it is OEM. My cartridges all have EPSON on each side of the cartridge.

It came in a Lexmark Box, the cartridge inside was in a Lexmark Bag that was sealed. I had to cut the inside foil bag to get it out. The cartridge says Lexmark. It's been working fine for several month now without any issues. I don't see anything to indicate this is a "remanufactured" or "refilled" cartridge. It looks an performs like an original to me.

The kit we received was indeed Lexmark OEM, so I would presume they all are.

I would say that if your particular model is listed among those covered by this product, then yes. It is important, though, to install an update that lets the printer recognize generic cartridges, if your printer is new and you have never used generics before on it. The update is easily obtainable at the Lexmark website and is totally free. Seems like the manufacturer doesn't want you using generic cartridges during the year of manufacturer's warranty.

Yes, I have bought "off brand" cartridges for my Lexmark from other companies and they have not been recognized by the printer. These worked great. They are a great deal too.

The first pack I bought I got a bad deal. One of the cartridges leaked in my printer and I bought a new printer because I did not know how to clean it..I will stick with ink bought from the "Printer" company from now on Which I did with my new printer. It seems other's believe OEM indicates it is original and this is what I will go with.

I specifically bought it because it was "OEM Canon" -- Original Equipment Manufacturer. I don't buy knock-offs. I've had no problem with this ink. You are correct to be careful.

Not sure with a kit, but when I have taken them in to a place to get them refilled, I'm told that Lexmark cartridges are "NOT" refillable...

Mine came in a generic box, don't think it was OEM, created problems with the printer so I bought the very expensive OEM one. Same goes with cartridges, I buy OEM only.

Not certain what is missing but I would recommend contacting Lexmark directly - if it is the power cord part it might be brand specific - if it is the computer cable to printer cord you might find one that is a generic that would work on amazon but, I would first go to the Lexmark customer service site and check there. My personal suggestion based on my experience with this printer would be to check out other printers - had mine about 4 months it is was such a pain that I replaced it with a cannon. Of course, it could just be that mine was a lemon.

I did firmware update before installing. And the cartridges do not recognize. Which company did you purchase from? And what do the chips look like on yours that do work? Mine look like wavy pattern, while genuine Epson have 9 island pattern. Thanks for response!

Yes, it's an original cartridge. The package always appears brand new, as do the cartridges inside.

Mine is a Prospect Pro 205, and although I've always used Lexmark 100, the cartridges didn't work in my printer.
