The #printer #refill kind of works. The #hp printer has figured out I did *something* with the #cartridge and is claiming that the #genuine #cartridge is not genuine, based on some #firmware on the #cartridge itself. I suspect that it uses this to purposely run through #ink more quickly in a " #failsafe " mode in order to incentivize consumers to buy new HP cartridges rather than refill their own. Bare in mind, I purchased the printer for $20 or $30 and each cartridge costs that on its own.

I remember when I first #purchased this #printer some years back speaking to the people in the shop, seeing the cost of the #ink #cartridges and literally saying: "So it would be cheaper to buy two printers, take the ink out of one and throw away the printer?" - and the people at the shop looked at me, looked at the prices and said: "yeah".
