weird printer problem

[Descend492]

My friend's got a comp running win2k, and a Lexmark z52 printer. It's got this really weird problem. WE need something printed well, and Word seems to be the only program to do it well (Photoshop doesn't print it to our liking). It used to work fine, but now it won't print pictures. If we insert the picture into a blank document then print it, the paper just spools through the printer real fast. If we put text on the same page, it prints the text, but not the picture. If we place the picture in a table, and the text in a column in that table, it prints the text in the correct location, but still no picture. So the program recognizes the picture, but the printer just doesn't print it. Updated drivers, so that's not the problem. Color ink resevoir's fine (I'm not an idiot). Any suggestions?

Tried another printer on that machine, or the same document on another machine/printer?

Does this problem occur when trying to print anything that is color? Even if the resevoir is full there is another very common problem. That is the drying of ink over the end of the nozzle. Try another color cartridge you KNOW works. Sometimes a cartridge can become ruined like this.
