Try to re-seat the cartridges in the printer. Open the printer cover > remove the cartridges > close the printer cover > re-brick you printer by pulling out the power supply - black box behind the printer where the power cord is plugged in, and re-plug after 10 seconds. When the printer turns on, reinsert the cartridges and close the cover. Try to print a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.

If that doesn't help, the problem could be due to a clogged print cartridge nozzle. Please follow the steps below to fix print quality issues with your model:

1. On your computer, go to Start menu.
2. Go to Programs.
3. Go to Lexmark 2600 Series folder.
4. Select Lexmark Solution Center.

From the Maintenance tab, select Clean to fix horizontal streaks. Your printer will then print a page forcing ink through to clean the print cartridge nozzles.

The problem with your printer is the print head. Usually you have to run the clean nozzle thing 5 or 6 times to clean the print head nozzles and if there's still no improvement after that then print head needs to be changed for the printer to work properly. The bad news is that a print head costs almost as much as a new printer.

Hi ethelinebake.

I thing the right way to ask would be..Can i print without colour, and the answer is, yes in Greyscale
I am from Denmark, mayby some of text and pictures not look simular to yours, but i think you can see what i mean - ok
Go to controlpanel ->Printers (or Printers and fax), right cklick on your printer -> click on "Print Preferences"(see pricture Fig. 1 ("Udskriftsindstillinger" = "Print Preferences"))
Now you get a new menu, cklick on "Adwanced" (see picture Fig. 2 ("Avanceret" = "Advanced")), then select "Greyscale" ("Gr?skala" = "Greyscale"), and then "OK".
All what i printed out after that, was in greyscale "colour".

...now you also have learnd a little bit danish too :o))

These models use a "3 colour" printing process. In other words, these printers do not contain black ink when the BC-05 colour cartridge is installed. To produce black print, a 3 colour printer mixes an equal amount of the three primary colours. This process is known as "composite" black.

As the ink in the cartridge runs out, one of the three primary colours will run out first, depending on the material that has been printed. After one of the three colours has depleted, this colour will be missing from the mixture required to print black, and the print will change colour. This is the indication that the cartridge needs to be replaced. Usually the remaining colours in the cartridge will run out soon afterwards.

Rate the solution as appropriate !

and open your printer clean up the nozzle
use alcohol and cotton buds and then placed it back properly!!

Have you tried a new colour cartridge? This is a classic sign that the cartridge may be low on ink. When printing text, assuming you are printing black, it is likely that the black cart is doing most of the work so the gaps are insignificant. You could try printing text in several different colours. If the colour cartridge is low, you'll find that some colours may be ok but others may have gaps.

Best to try a new cart if you have one.

Is it a new cartridge? If the cartridge has been sitting a while it can get clogged. Try using a moist paper towel and gently wiping the cartridge where the ink comes out.
You could also try running the Lexmark Solutions Center program and use the clean nozzles option to force it to squirt out some black ink.

if the black was empty you would notice the difference in the pictures as well, but if the word print is black, it wont print in colour it's supposed to print what you see.
