Oops (OT - Totally)

[Keith Roberts]

The Lexmark cartridges cost $30 a piece and only hold 20ml. It's a rip off.
Get some black ink and drill a hole in the cartridge and refill that way.
They try to sell you 20 ml kit for $20 for the Lexmark. I bought the Hp kit
with what looked to be the same ink, only 40ml for $13. It works great.
Don't take the cartridge out to refill because you have to realign and
eventually the thing suffers from "fatal head error" and you start out with
a new cartridge again.
