I've been refilling my hp carteidges for about 6 months now, and,
last weekend, my dj stopped printing. I put in a brand new cartreidge
that had an expiration date of 12/90 and it printed about 10 pages
and then died. Ususally when the cart. is running out of ink, it
starts skipping and printing lightly. This time, it just stopped
printing all together. I cleaned it as well as I could, but, alas,
nothing. I am trying to get it repaired now.
I hope I didn't break it by refilling; but I may have. :-(
