I am needing to replace the ink cartridges on my A920. Are these basically
HP printers and use their ink? Do I have to purchase only through Dell for
replacement cartridges?

Thanks,
Mark

Check alt.consumers.uk-discounts.and.bargains for quite a lengthy thread
on how to hack the printer to enable it to take normal lexmark
cartridges, and there are several sites that will tell you how to refill
the carts - this is one such page...

Have a look around before you buy them from Dell. I have no idea of Dell's
pricing nor of any credible replacement ink cart. dealers, but surely there
must be some:
