I changed the black ink cartridge (and updated to OS X 10.1.3 the same morning, but this shouldn't be an issue); my Lexmark z53started printing badly misaligned text. I did all the cleaning, wiping, alignment procedures many times but it doesn't get fixed. Could it be just a defective cartridge? Any idea?

reboot to os 9, install proper drivers, run the utilities--this way you can find out if its a defective cartridge.

no disregard the previous persons recomendations....

you should have opened the solutions center (x software) and hit install new cartridge THEN physically install it, take your cartidge out and then do this, and say its a new cartrige THEN allign it
