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

Maybe and maybe not.  It is reporting the ink cartridges full because having
it unplugged on the shelf caused the ink monitor to reset.

Check your drivers and support software (for scanning and copying) to insure
they are current and properly installed.

If the Z22 uses the 16/26 and 17/27 cartridges, not to worry.  Lexmark still
makes and Wal-Mart still sells printers that use them.  So if you need to
buy some to test the printer and the printer doesn't work, you can use the
ink in a replacement printer.

The X1240 and X1290 run about 30 to 60 bucks and both should use the 16/26 
and
17/27 combinations.
