Ink Cartridges for the Printers.

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

Hi all.. I cant help thinking that Dell All-in-one printers are re-badged
Lexmark items. If so,can anyone advise what is the Lexmark equivalent of a
A920 All-In-One. I'd like to buy cartridges on the open market and not
captively from Dell (!!)
Thanks
Jimbo

Jimbo;
Black Lexmark 16 or 17
Color 26 or 27

But the Lexmark carts will not fit in the Dell printer, 2 options:
1. Get a Lexmark lid and place on the Dell cart.
2. Open the lid on the ink carrier.
You will see a little of plastic that prevents the lid from closing.
IIRC, it is center of Lexmark and to one side on a Dell
I have a friend who did this and uses Dell carts in a Lexmark printer so it
should work the other way around.

So far, so good

This is actually the third option (not tried it myself) but its reported
you can cut away the plastic "web" for a permanent solution.
