Can I still install the printer cartridge successfully that started leaking?

It is not suggested to install the cartridge that is leaking as this can even effect printer hardware functionality.\n\nTherefore, I suggest you to install a new cartridge for the printer instead of installing the cartridge that is defective.\n\nHowever, you may return the cartridge where you have purchased if it is in warranty and claim a new cartridge.

The issue is may be due to the improper communication between the printer cradle and the cartridge contacts.\n\nSo, I suggest you to remove the cartridge from the capping station and then try to clean the cartridge contacts manually and again insert the cartridge and then try printing and check the results.

perform a 'cleaning' cycle.  Regardless of the cause, some jets are clogged.  too many 'cleaning' cycles, and it will exhaust the ink cartridge....so beware !

I work for my sisters business.  She bought the refill kit for her Lexmark Z11, an older model.  It was a joke.  The cartridge did not seem to last as long as a new one did.  The second one she used leaked all over the inside of her printer.  After all, you are really poking a hole in the cartridge to refill it.  I would rather buy new ones at Walmart.

This issue normally occurs due to the incompatible cartridge or may be due to the defective cartridge or may be due to the corrupted printer drivers.\n\nThere first check whether you are using compatible cartridges for the printer.\n\nHowever, If you are using compatible cartridges for the printer then please visit the following web site and follow the instructions to clean the cartridge contacts manually.\n\nhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00058182\n\nNow once again try printing.\n\nHowever, If the issue persists then this could be due to corrupted printer drivers.\n\nTherefore, Please uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers.\n\nPerform the below steps to uninstall the printer driver :\n\n1.

Use the utility software for the printer to clean the print heads, it should help.

Has it been awhile since you have used the printer?\n\nThe sad fact is that over time when a printer is not in use ink will dry in the print head.   When this happens the only remedy is repeated print head cleanings.  You should find instructions on how to do this in your manual.  If you find that  you have gone through about 20 cleanings with no improvements , then unfortunately it may be time to take the printer to be professionally serviced, or replace the print head.  \n\nAs a warning cleaning does suck up a lot of ink, but it is in the name of getting the printer going again.

Open the front door, pull the cartridge out with the tab sticking up at you. Not sure if you can refill this type, but they're relatively cheap to replace.\nCheers.

I tried going that route to save some money, but all I did was make a mess.  Maybe I was doing it wrong, but I find it easier to just buy a new cartridge.  Cut down on unnecessary printing, that will help in the long run.

You can buy ink refill kits, but I would not recommend it. There have been instances where people have done this and the ink has leaked all over the inside of the printer.

online.. thru your comp.. start the "Status Monitor" ..\n.. it sits someplace in "Start" (if on Windows)\n\nOr simply go to the printer name in "Printers" folder & right click-> go to properties- then all thse tabs come up for "Head cleaning" "Nozzle Check" etc...\n\nThere.. a tab has status monitor...\n\nHowever, thru experience using my old Epson Stylus 1200\nI have come to know that its a bit waste as the Nozzle Check & Head Cleaning both deplete the bloody ink resorviors..\n\nI now, manually take them out \n[HIGHLY AVIODABLE AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THOU]\nto get a feeling as to how much is there which I can get since so many years..\nGive it a good shake & I put 'em back...\n\nThough unlike HP, Epson cartridge head doesn't get replaced each time, so its a big headache to try remove cartridge\n(one risks damaging internals as ink might pour out of gaping hole in cartridge- there is a certain trick jerky movement to get it out)\n\nPlus, lastly, the damn things sort of dry out even if printer left unused for under a month & so software may still detect a semi full thing as, one needing replacement

Should be fine.  I guess it depends on your printer, but it's never screwed up for my on any of my ink jets.

You don't need to purhcase the installation disc.  Lexmark has all the software you need to get the printer up and running.  \n\nhttp://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?isoctry=us&isolang=en
