You should read this.

I especially think you should pay attention to the part where it says "Refilled inkjet cartridges had a better than 25% (1 in 4) chance of being dead on arrival or failing prematurely." Sounds like you might have gotten hit by that 1 out of the 4. Maybe instead of blaming the company that makes the printer that was working fine with a proper ink cartridge, you should blame the company that refilled (or more probably improperly refilled) the ink cartridge that you purchased at a discount to save a few dollars. How much is your time worth and how many hours have you spent trying to get the discount ink cartridge working. Did you really save money?

Where did you check last time. Specifically?
Last night when I began having issues using the refill.
No. I meant where did you read that a warranty can not be voided
for
misuse and abuse? That would be some really obnoxious government regulation.
Refilling ink isn't misuse nor abuse.
"Bonkers"? that language specifically detracts from the point.
The
printer is malfunctioning because you damaged it by doing
something it
wasn't designed for. What did you expect?
It wasn't designed to print? A refilled cartridge should no more
damage a
printer than a non-root userland app with a security hole should
damage
the running kernel.
The something you did, which it was not designed for (and I'm sure
you
know this) was use a refilled cartridge.
Oh, HP doesn't sell refilled cartridges? The name brand ones at the store are always manufactured new? I think not... _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug@kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
