[Novalug] RE: HP Printer Cartridge question

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

They didn't work for me. But ink jet printers are a losing proposition. 
Any savings over laser printers are rapidly eaten up by ink cartridges.

Decent color printers can be had for $300 now and B&W for $99. Brother 
is a nice brand.

BTW, the ink refilling kit never worked for my Epson printer.
