Question

My printer gave the following message "The following ink has run out" with the picture of the colored ink cartridge out of the socket appearing. I promptly removed and replaced the refilled colored and black ink a few times to ensure that they are in positon but I still cannot print. Please help. Thanks

It looks like the problem may lie with the refillable ink cartridge. There is a chance that the chip on the cartridge is not reset and the printer still recognizes the cartridge as empty.

Generally, it is not advisable to use refillable ink systems or third-party ink cartridges. It may be cheaper (lots cheaper in some instances) but the ink quality may not be as good and may clog up your printer's ink head. Also, should your printer be damaged due to the use of inks other then the original manufacturer's, the warranty will be void.
