I found out the HP printers have a code built in them that keeps you from being able to get them to work by refilling them, you would have to de-code that before trying it, if a repair can do this it should work. There are no instruction except what I have learned. You can try making a whole in top of the ink cartridge 1/16 drill bit then inject with a needle, only inject 1 cc don't over fill, if it don't work, it may have a code built in.

You should start with a Refill kit for that cartridge. That will give you not only instructions and a smaller bottle or 2 of ink but also the tools to do refills on cartridges. The bulk ink is replenishing the kits or if you do a lot of cartridges.

I haven't yet. I plan to try to reuse it with OEM refill at some point (or at least try just to answer my own question). Staples and Office Max will take them and give you credit against purchases if you want to go that route.

This return program cartridge should definitely work if it is the right one for your printer, even if you were to refill it with a kit you found ,it would still read empty or not full because the chip on the back would have to be reset and I don't knpow if anyone other then Lexmark can reset it at this time.That's why people are having problems with after market refilled cartridges.

Rebecca, If that printer takes an HP 60 cartridge I would think you could. I have an HP Deskjet F4500 with an HP 60 cartridge and it does very well. I have not tried it on photos, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't do well on them too. I also agree with Natalie's comment about only being able to refill it once or twice. But it still saves a lot of money.

Go to www.hp.com and type in your model number.Or get the help from the customer help line there on that website.A phone number or send them an email. Check in your owners manual for your printer,or open your printer to see the ink cartridges.There may be a sticker like mine inside that says what number you need to get.This product works perfect in my HP Photosmart 6520. Merry Christmas ...

I did my nephews HP564 using a very small 30 gauge needle and just punched a small hole through the sticker above the vent hole. About 3ml in the standard, and 6ml in the XL black. Then tape up the hole you created. So far the easiest refill. Also, you will have to ignore HP's low ink level alerts. There is a way to reset or change this, but I forget.Had to run 5 clean cycles as my nephew let it go dry for months before letting me know.

Sorry it won't work, you will need to buy a different refill kit for the HP60 cartridge. Amazon carries the kit for the hp60.

The best thing to do would be to google it. That is how I found out how to put ink in my HP Photosmart 7520. Mine was on the top under the tape. You can actually see the hole if you run your finger over the top of the cartridge. There should be a slight indentation. Then I just stuck the needle into it and put between 3.5 ml and 4.5 ml of ink. It will start dripping out when full. Make sure you have lots of paper towels at first. When you are done use a piece of tape on it to cover the hole.

We had a photosmart 3-in-1 and this cartridge worked. The whole printer has since stopped working due to a known defect with the wireless radio (a common issue with the model we owned), but that is another story: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/HP-Photosmart-c309a-no-longer-connects-to-network/td-p/215618

This kit is made specifically for the HP 60 and HP 60XL cartridges, so your printer would have to use one of these - it should have the number right on the cartridge.The product works well, I consider it high quality and have bought two kits. But you have to be a do-it-yourself person to refill cartridges, it can be a bit messy - they include gloves with the kit!

i have HP 7200 and these inks did not work in my printer, as they are said to. the printer/computer recognizes fakes. it will say "not genuine HP product", or "ink past expiration date" (they refill old empty HP cartridges). i would recommend you check their return policy, as you will have to open package and insert into your printer to try it, often making product non-returnable. staples has a "economy" package for HP 7100 and 7200. smaller cartridges. comes with free photo paper. not bad deal.

What bothered me about this ink was that you needed a chip resetter. You can't just inject the ink and then start printing, its not that simple. You have to buy a refillable ink cartridge that goes with your model, usually about $74.99-$89.99. But yes it does work with said printer, getting it to work and accept it is a different story. Your best bet is to get the refillable cartridge. Pricey but will save money in the long run.

Yes, I had an error code come up before. I had to do a reset and replace with new cartridges. But my printer still works fine. Considering ordering this product again. I have an HP Photosmart C7280. But also be aware or which supplier or seller that you are ordering these cartridges from. That really makes a difference.

I purchased them for my HP Photosmart 5510 and they work great. I purchased the following ink off of Amazon: ND Brand 5x30ml HP Printer 564 564 XL Cartridge Ink Refill Kit Color & Black. Easy and saved me loads of $$$. Just be careful with ink - you might want to wear rubber gloves when you refill. So far I have refilled the cartridges twice and still going.

No, they do not work in Photosmart 7520, and it created problems in the machine which took a very long time to correct. I am considering not to purchase an HP printer from now on, it is creating a fist because there is a non-HP ink in it. This is my case and others might have had positive results. HP is forcing you to buy HP inks which are too expensive. The headache I went through told me to operate HP only with the HP inks. I will do that until this machine no longer works. My next printer will be a printer which can work with generic inks. HP has no right to dominate my choices.

I have the HP Photosmart 7520, and I think I can help you. The HP 564XL Photo Ink Cartridge (CB322WN#140) is the one that you probably have on the right side and it is bigger than the others. You will notice that the word "Photo" is in the description. The other black one next to it, is CN684WN#140, and it is smaller, and does not have the notation "Photo" in the description. You can purchase these cartridges directly from Amazon.com, but you have to check regarding the information displayed whether or not the cartridges are compatible with your particular HP printer. If they do not say that they are compatible, it is wise to keep on looking for one that is compatible. I have the HP Photosmart 7520, and I think I can help you.
