Karen, I took your suggestion to order from abcink.com and got their 5 pack deal of non-OEM cartridges ..
Got the printer itself back to working by using the "Windex" method suggested by Francis Harvey but used Isopropyl Alcohol instead .. turns out that the printer insisted on having both black and color cartridges (even when black only was selected for printing) in order to decide to print (but it gave an indication that it might have a corrupted driver by suggesting that the computer connection was faulty in some way, not that it was out of ink or that the cartridges were "dry" (the color one apparently was!) so the first thing I did was reload the driver from the CD (and of course nothing happened). Thanks to all .. now, I can take the much higher priced cartridge back to the local major name office supply and get a refund. Roger Helbig ----- Original Message ----- From: "K.

However, I do find it difficult to get it to put the cartridges in a position where I can grab them. I press the button and they come out but go right back into where they cant be reached. I have been quite pleased with http://abcink.com/ (see $1.00 Ink Zone) I ordered 3 cartridges at $1.00 each and paid $3.00 even though the shipping cost them $2.00. Never did figure out how they could afford that!
