Printers can work without any cartridges in them. However, to print anything, at least one colour or one black cartridge must be installed.
You should only use a Dell cartridge with a Dell printer.
I have only tried putting a Lexmark cartridge into a dell series 5 printer but it does not work. The electronics do not match and the printer rejected it.
no sorry!
Try resetting the printer
The latest printer for Dell is Dell 1320c Network Color Laser Printer.
"Yes, Dell does sell laser print cartridges for the P1500 laser printer. The price of the cartridge depends on the number of pages each cartridge can print and whether or not you plan to participate in the cartridge recycling program."
One can buy a Dell 3110 CN from the following retailers: Dell UK, Cartridge Discount, Cartridge Save, Staples, Amazon, Stinky Ink Shop, Quality Cartridge, Printer Inks.
The printer that uses a Dell 1700 black toner is the Dell 1700 and the Dell 1700n. Both of these printers will use genuine Dell toner cartridge or an off brand of the same toner.
Not sure why exactly. But to continue printing, remove the color cartridge and print black or order a new color cartridge. It has also been suggested that putting an old cartridge in may reset the printer and then when you put the original one back it prints again. I haven't tried that but it seems plausible.
Dell All-In-One Printer will absolutely print in both black and white and in color
Printer cartridges are proprietary designs, i.e. you cannot put a HP cartridge in a Dell printer and vice versa. In that respect, no, you can't use Dell ink in other printers. If you have a refill kit, though, you could, theoretically, use it to refill any manufacturers cartridge.
No when you buy Dell, you have a good printer driver that detects when the cartridge is empty (or maybe just need to be replaced according to Dell), asks you for your visa number and do the rest. Don't try to stop this mechanism, this would be patent violation. As they say: this is for a better customer experience!
