-=PCTechTalk=- Lexmark Z22 printer question...

Has anyone ever used one of those cheapie Lexmark Z22 (or Z series) =
printers?  I was given one a couple of years ago that was out of black =
ink and very low on color.  I hooked it up to a computer and it printed =
fine, but has been sitting ever since and the color is now dried out =
totally.  Anyway, I hooked it up to a computer that I'm about to give to =
my stepson and the Lexmark software doesn't recognize it's attached at =
all and reports both printer cartridges as full.  Since there is =
currently no ink at all in it, I'm wondering if I'm getting this message =
just because there is no ink, especially since it printed fine last time =
I hooked it up when it had ink.  I hooked it up both by USB and by =
parallel cable and I get the same message that the software cannot =
communicate with the printer.  The printer pulls paper through and is =
acting fine and indicates no problems.  BUT, I'd HATE to have someone go =
spend money on ink just to find that the printer won't work.=20

So, my question is, does being totally out of ink cause this printer to =
give the non-communication error?
