I have a crappy Lexmark Z515 printer and it will print photos perfectly fine ( the test page as well as jpegs) but it won't print MS Word documents at all. The pages are just blank. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I'm running Windows Xp and I've tried printing with both Word 97 and Word 2003.
 
Black ink is empty and/or clogged.

No photo-printer uses black ink to print photos, therefore your photos look fine. I bet if you changed your MS Word text to green or blue, it would print fine.
 
Thanks for the help Sarversystems. I thought that would work as well, but after trying to print in both blue and red, cleaning the cartridge, nozzles, etc. and disabling black I still couldn't get it to work. I can't figure out what is causing this. When I print the test page and the alignment page, the black comes out fine.
 
It's a Lexmark! Buy cheap get cheap results... :eek:

Try replacing the black ink.
As suggested above try a different font.
Unplug from the wall for 5 minutes then power back on and try.
If that doesn't work, trash it and buy an HP.
