If your printheads are uncloggable you have wasted another $40.00.
If it is an ersatz brand you may have got taken.
I am having trouble with my Lexmark x85 (big shot but hey.. I got it for christmas a couple of years ago). It won't recognize my new color ink cartridge. Now, after trying the tips on the company web site and through a follow up email where whiping down the connecters with an eraser where tried it still doesn't work. It there anything I can do or am I going to be stuck shelling out another $40?
