    Honestly, in my history getting a refurbed printer is actually better than getting a new one. New ones just come off a line and get jammed in a box, so it's a crapshoot whether it's going to be alright. Refurbs have someone actually go over the product and fix the problems. I've got numerous refurbs over the years and with the exception of one Epson they've all been workhorse machines.

    This is specific to factory refurbs, not Newegg/Best Buy return "refurbs".

    The 7310/7410 series has been good to me at work. I have 3 7410s and they are all in pretty heavy use. They are fast as hell for inkjet.

    since I rarely print in color I just use a laser printer for most things. They had one here at work that just couldn't handle the load, and wasn't designed for the load they had on it, so it jammed often. They sold it to me for $50, and it even had a NIC in it, so I just threw it on my switch; I also got like 7 extra toners for it. I don't think I'll ever run out seeing as how the two of us in the house probably print 20 pages a month maximum.

    Thumbs up This is easily fixed

    I just fixed this problem on my HP 7310 All In One printer, nothing suggested here so far worked (also as an aside, the heads are part of the ink cartridges).

    The solution was to reach behind the ink cartridge housing and press the ribbon cables to ensure they were properly seated, this instantly fixed the problem even while the printer was powered up.

    I don't know where you got that idea.

    Lexmark was founded in 1991 as a spin-off of IBM's printer-manufacturing division. Lexmark became publicly held and traded in 1995.

    Smile 7200 printer color printer cartridge problems

    I had this problem today and after reading these comments I thought I would need to go buy a new printer. I cleaned the cartridge with a q-tip and no change. The printer would not even power down without unplugging it. Before heading out for a new cartridge and or printer I used a wet q-tip to clean the contacts at the back inside the printer which connect to the cartridge and the problem cleared. Thanks to this site I probably saved $200. Thanks
