I just got a new black (61XL) cartridge for my HP 3510 all-in-one , after
an hour on the line with HP support it still pops an "incompatible
cartridge" message and locks up ... anybody know a workaround for this ?
Probably a similar issue to using refilled cartridges , and a similar
solution . I'm still on the line with HP on hold , we'll see what they offer
to do - I got stuff that needs printin' !
Just got off the line , they're sending me a new cartridge . But I still
want to see if there's a hack or workaround ... At 32 bucks a pop I'd like
to maybe try refilling the black . Had less-than-stellar luck refilling
color ... OK , OK , it was a total flop .
=====================
Used several HP printers and 3n1s over the years and they
were all junk, as were their branded CD burners (which I
paid extra for). The current HP is not the same company
that developed and manufactured the premium electronics and
test equipment that I, and most likely you, used years ago.

Suggest you buy another brand. When my last HP died, I got
a Brother on sale which has been very satisfactory, and the
ink cartridges are very inexpensive.

Check with the office supply chains in your area for sales.

Depending on your print volume, you can pay for the printer
with the ink cartridge saving.



My antique HP 970 is still going strong. It's getting harder to find ink
but I have some good ink and stored print heads to refill. I may
convert a few over to bulk feed one of these days. I had a Canon that
was bulk feed, it was nice going a couple years without any issues.
My Canon ip4820 is bulk fed. Works pretty good.
