Lexmark Printer Problems

I have a Lexmark X2550 printer and it has recently started giving problems.
I have flashing lights on the control panel, suggesting that both printer cartridges need replacing.
However, I only replaced both cartridges a couple of weeks ago, and I have hardly used it since then.
When I try to print with it, on-screen instructions suggest removing both cartridges, then re-inserting them. I have tried this a few times but it doesn't solve the problem.
Has anyone any idea what could be causing this?. I have been onto one of those online technicians but they want £21 to suggest a cure, but I would rather put the £21 towards a new printer.

Try taking the cartridges out of the printer and then clean the electrical contacts on the cartridge with methylated spirits and a small brush then wait until it evaporates before replacing.
Your fingers can sometimes leave a grease smear on the contacts.
Just a thought!
