Okay, but Staples and these other online sellers DO say their cartridges
work with Dell! So someone is guilty of either lying or false advertising.
In fact, staples has generic cartridges (still almost as expensive as
Dell's, btw), labeled as for the Dell printers and for my specific one.
Hate to throw good money after bad by buying another set of Dell cartridges,
but don't have the dough at the moment to buy another 4 in 1, so just
haven't had use of the 4 in 1 for months now, unless I bother with scanning
things in it and using my good old reliable HP laser printer to print them
out (though not always the best quality reproduction).
So, bottom line, guess you are agreeing with Dell that no other printer
cartridges but theirs will work with their printers? Including ink refill
kits? Will certainly think twice, three times or ten times before ever
buying a Dell printer. Too bad I probably wasn't on this list when you
issued those warning!

Beginning to get jealous of people who live within close proximity to
Walgreens or Walmart! Didn't see my Dell 4 in 1 printer listed on list
of Dell printers that are refillable. Since two generic cartridges didn't
work, maybe there's a good reason.
Either Dell is lying when they repeatedly say generic cartridges don't
work with Dell printers or some of these generic cartridge makers or
sellers are lying when they claim that they do and can! A set of dell
cartridges seems to be maybe a third the cost of the damn printer!

Randall, Welcome to the crowd. I tried and tried to warn people about
buying
any printer that did not take cartridges from Staples or any other office
supply place. I wrote about this a few years ago and a couple of people
said that Dell printers were great and I resisted the "I told you so"
but..
That might be one reason that Dell was giving away their laser printers to
Non-Profits in MD and I cautioned them to refuse them. Most listened and
are happy, some of the others are paying the price. No competition in the
cartridge arena for them.
Reminds me of the middle 80's where they were almost giving away the cute
little dot maitrix printers and expecting/requiring you to buy the ribbons
from them.
Sure....
Rich
