I love how my printer lies and says it's almost out of ink

[LaraMN]

when CLEARLY, it is not.
It's been telling me in ominous tones that the ink is perilously low for the last, oh, twenty pages or so that I've printed.

Whatever, Lexmark, you ink whore. You can suck it.

:eyes:

:P

1. I get that a lot. Just take it out and shake it up.

When my printer says that's it almost out of ink I just shake it and it keeps going like the Enegizer Bunny.

2. It is clearly an attempt

to get us to buy more ink cartridges, which is where the real profit lies...

3. I read that you can alter something on the bottom to fool.....

the GD machine into thinking you put a new cartridge in it. My Brother does the same thing.

One of the little plastic deals on the part of the cartridge that meets the machine can be moved or altered to fool the machine.

5. Once I really ran out of toner so I opened another one

and poured into the one that had been empty. It was a mess but it saved the day until the one I ordered came in.

4. I hate that too. It's just like that damn insidious 'check engine' light on my dash

I fixed it with a little bitty piece of black electrical tape.

[LaraMN]

6. I have that going, too!

It's all lies.

:P
