printer ink

[sunflower68]

I wonder has anyone used refil droppers to fill your ink cartridge. I know I have posted before but I am still having trouble. It's a Lexmark and doesn't appear to realise there is ink and keeps warning me my ink is low and therefore fails to print. Any ideas please ; (

thanks heathfield that saves me a lot of timewasting! Interesting link, won't buy another Lexmark!

ummm ... I have a Lexmark printer and do refill the cartridges. OK I still get the low ink warning, but that doesn't stop me from printing anyway ! If memory serves (I'm using an official cartridge at the moment) there is an ignore button on the low ink warning I get, so I just click on that and printing goes ahead

Thanks Huderon I wish mine did! the low ink warning is a pain because there is a tick box which says 'one-off print ' or something and I can't tick that or even close the box because the little timer on the cursor is on with that warning box.Also there is no ignore button ; ( I have to just drag the whole box away.
Also wondering do you think I need to buy the actual Lexmark cartridges or will compatible ones do?
