Drop kick the Lexmark

I am about ready to do just that. I'm so frustrated with this printer right now I could scream. I am unable to print anything with it. I have a brand new color cartridge in it. I've tried to align the thing 5 times now. I'm perplexed, to say the least. It pretends it's printing. It starts up, I hear the print head moving back and forth at varying speeds, then the blank paper comes out. And, I just want to scream!!
