I used to be able to refill the inkjet cartridges and get good results, but
now manufacturers like HP are selling smart cartridges that know when they
are being reused and I have not been able to figure out how to get past the
coding.  Fortunately, we now have a LaserJet, so the inkjet is relegated to
color only, which is an infrequent use in our home.
