This is true for HP printers. The usual way is to have a rotation of 3 carts to be refilled, the printer remembers the serial numbers of the last two carts it used and won't print if you refill a cart and put it back in the printer. Which is the reason that I got rid of the HP printer and replaced it with an Epson C62, the HPs are just too expensive to operate and I don't see that much of a quality difference.On Saturday 01 March 2003 01:39 pm, Ronald J.

Isn't it true on the newer inkjets that you need to apply a software 'patch' to reset the chip, or fool it, into thinking that the refill is brand new? A friend who refills her own told me she had to do this to get her own refils to work. This was in Windows, BTW.
I've always used the cheapest replacement cartridges that I could find for my Epson printers without a problem. The C62 cart light is flashing and I'm almost out of black ink, we'll see how the replacement works very soon!
