Lexmark 1500 Series - Manual (Page 105)

If printing using a USB cable, make sure the cable is securely attached to both the printer and the computer.
Before you print, you may need to restart the computer.
General Printing Problem
You cannot receive a more specific error message because the printer and the computer do not have bidirectional
communication.
To receive a more specific error message, see “Bidirectional communication is not established” on page 95.
To find the problem without establishing bidirectional communication, see “Checking printer readiness” on
page 89.
Ink Low
A print cartridge is almost out of ink.
Install a new cartridge. For more information, see “Installing print cartridges” on page 56.
To order a new cartridge, see “Ordering paper and other supplies” on page 61.
Out of Memory
The printer software cannot obtain enough memory to print.

too many programs are open on the computer.
