has this pro had problems when changinging from the original cartridgdes to the new ones: My question is when you take out the original cartride, (the one with the red light) is there a problem with the printer accepting the new NDC-225/226 cartridge?

Heh heh, is the cartridge a genuine Lexmark product? Because the literature says that Lexmark is all you can use. If it is a Lexmark, but just aged, then you might be able to talk them into a replacement. If it's not a Lexmark product, then it sounds like the printer is rejecting it, and i don't know how to tell you to override that. Hope this helps at least a little bit.

I did firmware update before installing. And the cartridges do not recognize. Which company did you purchase from? And what do the chips look like on yours that do work? Mine look like wavy pattern, while genuine Epson have 9 island pattern. Thanks for response!

I have the same printer and have purchased remanufactured cartridges. I did get the empty cartridge message, but my printer gives the override message and gives me the steps in order for the ink to work. Followed those steps ink worked fine but didn't last long, but I believe it was worth it.

We've been using ours for several months now. We're not "power printers" by any means but we've probably printed 3 reams of paper with mixed formats from screen prints of web pages to documents and everything in between. I will say that being re-manufactured, it did have a screw that was missing on one side that I believe was removed to fill the cartridge, which when looking at the OEM cartridge, the screw secured a clip and spring and had a sticker over the screw. I ended up removing the screw from the OEM cartridge to secure it on the replacement. It has worked fine with no issues so far other than that though. We've been using ours for several months now.

Since I originally posted, I actually exchanged it and the replacement was better at first but seems to be similar to the first one. I can live with it as long as it is just noise and not really a problem leading to premature failure. I love the results I get with this printer compared to my old HP with it's outdated tri-color cartidge system.

I don't have an answer to this particular problem but.....At first I was very satisfied with this cartridges but after about 10 prints the color faded and then even the black faded. If one can make only a couple of prints with the refilled cartridges, it'll be cheaper to buy the original. Which I did after a couple of frustrating prints and try's to get it working correctly.

Call Technical support. They have been absolutely wonderful with me on every occasion! and, the only other thing I would suggest is with the new cartridge of black in place, disconnect your printer from the electrical outlet and shut down your computer. Then, restart your computer and restart your printer to see if that makes a difference. Otherwise, call KM. They are wonderful! And, these printers are wonderful although a bit "sensitive."

If it is current dated, I would return it as defective - - in years of using H/P print carts I've actually had one bad one BUT I bought it from H/P and got a new one in exchange. Good luck. (Oh the bad one was a 56)

Mine kept printing for awhile after I got the "replace ink" message. Also, it is my understanding that the ink cartridges that come with the printer are generally sample cartidges and do not contain as much ink as the full, replacement cartridges. While that seems kind of crummy, I think most companies that supply cartridges with the newprinter are doing that. When I was shopping for this printer, I was suprised to find that many companies have stopped including any ink with their new printers!!

my email address is jcrd peoplepc com I've run into this a lot on HP printers...it is very frustrating... Sometimes I replace the cartridge(built in head, not tanks like Vivamart epson) and that fixes it. On tank type (4 separate cartridges)with one head on the carriage, all you can do is replace the main head, with it's PC circuit. Another possibility is mis-alignment of the PC circuit on the cartridge with the contacts on the head. Try leaving the carriage hold down cover "unclicked" or just lying down on the cartridges enough to clear the frame. Let me know if that works. Like I say it happens a lot on HP printers with all-in-one head & ink cartridges, which have a lot of small contacts. It only takes on poor contact to cause blank page. thanks JC in Denver, colo.

No, not at all. My printer has been working GREAT since the swap out. there are instruction on the machine and youtube videos on this. I thought about buying a new printer since replacing them would cost so much but I am glad I didn't. this is a real good all-in-one and worth the money to change them. Hope this helps...

Hello, I do have 3 printers working good with this non oem cartridges. Do not see a problem, why the printer should get damaged. Unless U use the printer frequently, so that the ink does not dry in the ink head. This also will happen with the original ones. The manufacturers make their monnies through the ink cartridges, not the high end printers sold at cost. Have fun Brgds

Please rest assured that I am going to get this situation resolved for you as soon as possible.

I look forward to your reply and resolving this situation for you with either a refund or replacements. Have a great day!

I came to see if I could help. I have been in IT for years, but sounds like Dave, the retired tech support guy, is your best bet. I think it is great that Dave has the time and is willing to help you. Way to go, Dave! I'd enjoy knowing "the rest of the story" just in case my printer ever has print quality issues. --Janey

Both are true. I did not know at the time of my post that any different action was required, but one black cartridge has malfunctioned by leaving partially unprinted streaks in the lines of print. I removed it, wiped an accumulation of ink off it, reinstalled it and got some good printing, maybe 15 or 20 pages before it did the same again. I disposed of it so I would not have that frustration again. Jon
