printer that does not print

Hi. I installed a lexmark 3200 in my win 98 pc. and I can not print a word document or notepad document or anything, the only thing that I can print is any image that I find in the internet.
So I tried uploading the file to a free website that I created just for this document at lycos, thinking that maybe I can print it as I can with an internet images, well, it just print the ad at the top of my site, I also send it to a yahoo email account and it did the same, it only printed the header, my folders names but not the actual email. I already reinstalled 3 times, I find no problems in my device manager, I also upgraded the drivers, I tried 2 cables.
Last thing I tried was to print any article in a friendly print version that I found in any site and only the header was printed.
My printer it sounds and I can see the head running side to side but nothin.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help and time.

 

Just something to check. Is what not printing happen to be black? And what is printed in color? Take out the black ink cartridge and remove the protective plastic cover on the bottom.

 

thank you but my problem is something else.
