  The easiest way to reset a Lexmark printer is by following these steps:             Turn off your Lexmark printer.  Hold down the reset button combination, which includes two to three buttons. On touchscreen models, you can go to Settings > Devices > Restore Factory Defaults until Restore Factory Defaults appears on the screen.  Then, release the buttons, and the printer finishes printing. Finally, it will come back to its original state.  However, a single reset method won’t work for all problems. Hence, there are four main types of reset methods for a Lexmark printer.  Method 1: Soft reset (power cycle)  Turn off your printer using the power button.  Disconnect it from the wall by gently pulling the cord.  Wait 60 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on.  Method 2: Factory reset on touchscreen models  Tap Settings from the home screen.  Tap Device and then tap Restore Factory Default...

Is your Epson printer not printing or printing blank sheets? If yes, you might be dealing with more than two problems at the same time. Your printer is not printing or showing “printing” status, but nothing comes out due to a software issue. On the other hand, a printer leaving blank paper happens due to an ink delivery problem in the print head.  To fix this issue, you need to run a nozzle check and read it using these steps:  First, load a plain A4 or letter sheet. Go to Setup > Maintenance > Print head nozzle check.  The printer will print a horizontal line in each ink color.  Solid lines show that the printhead is fine, and the main culprit is something else.  Faded sections, gaps, or even missing colors show that ink isn’t reaching the nozzle array, causing blank prints.  If you find out that the problem is in the print head, you can clean it using the built-in head cleaning cycle from the maintenance menu. Ensure you don’t power off the cleaning...

Replacing toner in Brother printers is an easy task that doesn’t need a complex procedure. All you need is a genuine and correct replacement toner cartridge for your exact printer model. You can match the label inside the front cover, not the TN number, to find the correct cartridge match.  Here are the steps involved in replacing a toner in a Brother printer:  Open the front cover facing you.  Release the drum and toner assembly, and they’ll come out as a single unit.  Place the assembly on a flat surface. Look for the colored lock lever and press it down to slide the empty toner cartridge out.  Keep the drum unit down carefully away from light.  Unpack the new toner cartridge and remove its protective seal.  Slide the unpacked cartridge into the drum unit until you hear a click sound.  Slide the green tab on the drum unit once, and return it to the home position, matching the arrow on the tab.
