When you print, is the light next to the on/off switch staying steady or is it blinking? I have a Z51 and when it wouldn't feed the light would flash. Lexmark has a problem solving site and if the light is flashing, it's a code for what the problem might be. Mine turned out to be bad electronics on the black cartridge which I had refilled a couple of times. Though refillng doesn't in itself seem to tell the machine anything.
