hp 3745 cartridge problem
Jun 7, 2006 1:11PM PDT

A new HP cartridge costs Rs.1700 whereas the cost of the printer is Rs. 3000 so clearly its not worth it.
Refilling cost me Rs. 200 but the printer is not accepting the refilled cartridge.

HP keeps track...

In your 1st post, you didn't mentione you "refilled" the old cart. Now, that's your problem. HP keeps track of ink carts, but using a different ink cart even if refilled but NOT used by your system will be accepted. HP tracks upto 3 inkcarts, thus you need 4inkcarts to reset the last value from re-occuring. Saving X-money isn't worth it if the prtr. doesn't work. You need to access other inkcart(s) to continue usage. Google for further details but that covers it.
