    I solved my problem by doing the following three
    things.

    1. start menu/programs/administrative tools/
    services/ lxdcCATSCustConnectService
    right-click/properties/general/startup type
    change from automatic to disabled
    This should stop printer from connecting to
    Lexmark server.
    Doing this stops your computer from sending
    any information to Lexmark.
    Another person who tried this said it caused
    some kind of error.
    If you get an error, change it back to
    automatic.

    2. c:program filesLx_cats 20A028536035105.A00
    c:program filesLx_cats 20A028536035105.A01
    c:program filesLx_cats 20A028536035105.tmp
    If one or more of these files is not in the
    folder, that is OK; simply change the file
    attribute on the files you have.
    Right-clickproperties change all files to
    read-only.
    This will stop these files from being updated.
    This will not stop the chips in the cartridges
    or the printer from being updated. The idea
    here is to stop Lexmark spyware from saving
    information regarding your printer use.

    3. control panel/printers and faxes/
    Lexmark 1300 Series
    right-click/properties/advanced/
    print processor
    change from Lexmark 1300/LEMF
    to WinPrint/RAW
    This stops all pop-up messages from the printer
    driver.
    This is the single most important thing to do.
    My printer works just as well with WinPrint/RAW
    as before, but without any pop-up messages.
    It is possible that this is the only thing you
    need to do to fix the problem; however, items
    1. and 2. above may provide additonal
    protection from Lexmark. It is possible that
    changing to WinPrint/RAW stops any Lexmark
    spyware from working.

    I have implemented all three of the above changes,
    and my printer works great. I use 3rd party
    cartridges and do refills.

    You will need a new chip or a chip resetter, not sure
    which one is available for your model.

    You can check out

    and if not clear you can ask on this free ink refill forum

    I have an Epsom printer like that. I bought a chip programer for a couple of quid that then allowed me to re-program the chip on the cartridge. I can only imagine that it would be the same for lexmark.
