Best Answer

Sometime early in 2011 HP sent an update through (down loadable) that carried code which allows their printers to recognize refurbished, refilled and re-manufactured cartridges. Depending on the printer, you may get about 10 pages out of the the used cartridge before the printer locks up and gives you a message that there is a used cartridge which is "out of ink". At that point, unless you change the cartridge, you will not be able to continue printing. After trying 3 different refilled cartridges I realized that it wasn't the cartridges, it was something in the machine. Techs in blogs onliine told me the above info. Although many places still sell HP refurbished cartridges, they are a waste of time and money.
