According to what I find, doing a google search for "error 1203" it is a cartridge error.
This refers to a Lexmark but it is also applicable to Dells, as they are made by Lexmark. Click Me

Rezzie,
Error 1203 is a very interesting error code. Here is what I found out about error 1203
It's mean your catridges overflow even from brand new catridges after a several prints or right after you refilled the catridges. Check to see if ink are smeared on the holder where the contact panel with the catridge. I have the same problem which I think lexmark have a proble and overlook.
Solution:
I use the klennex with a few drops of water to dampen and clean off those contact on the holder and my printer work again.
The refill ink work very well if you let it sit 24 hrs. Then before you print anything, you should run aligned the catridges a couple times then run clean catridges a couple times.
Print the test page to see how it's look and way you go.
Be sure not to leave any debris of klennex on those holder contact panel.
