Lexmark X1180 all-in-one (printer, copier, scanner)

When I try to print anything.. no colour comes out.
I've printed lodes of test pages and stuff, but still no use.

No, it's not set to "black and white." There is some colour on the page but not much at all (like a line of red)

I think the ink might have dried or something because I don't use it that much.

It also says the colour ink has gone down. But how can it of done if no colour is coming out?

Please help
Thanks.

take out the colour cartridge then put it bak and see the result does this solved. ?
once i had also this problen and i had done this trickk..

How long ago did you last use your printer? it is probably the fact that they have dried up.

i'm 99% sure its dried up. holdng the bottom of the cartride in warm water or alcohol can clean it out.

my experence with lexmark printers are that they blow chunks. i hate our with a passion. imo canon is the best printer around.

Have you tried the cleaning feature? Go into the maintenance window and click the "clean" button. It will print a test page that supposedly helps clean the ink jets.
