Run out of printer ink!!

[JimM]

The key is to get it refilled before you get the message that you are running low on ink. That way you fool the chip at the bottom of the cartridge from informing the printer people that you are upto some hanky panky

Mine ran out while the printer was still showing it as 1/2 full 

But I can't complain to much, it's an HP Deskjet I got on sale a few years ago but it's only $16 at WalMart for a new black ink cartridge and around $20 at the overpriced corner drugstore. Much cheaper than the last two printers I had.

*sigh* I have decided to buy a new HP Deskjet, exactly the same one I have right now. The regionalization is too much hassle - too many phone calls to the customer care, then faxing them a test page and my purchase bill - all for something that may or may not work at the end. Its juat cheaper to buy another one and get on with life. And what's life without a bit of excitement

Moral - HP makes wonderful stuff, but NEVER take them from one country to another!

Mainly other continents, but it is SO true!
Same for Fujitsu Siemens, which by the way is probably the worst computer manufacturer on the face of the earth.
