hello everyone, I bought a refill kit for the cart. numbers since the printer wasnt listed. Well I did the refill, didnt use to much ink or over fill it, but the ink started running out of the head of the cart. I cleaned it off and put it in the printer to see that the red and blue mixed. tried to clean the head about 40 times and it finaly got the red right but the blue stopped working. I tried the soak it in hot water, and that didnt work. So I went and bought a new cart. Well i put that one in and it wouldnt print at all. I looked at the bottom of the printer and saw that it had ink on it. Well i tried everything to clean it off but even the new cart. wouldnt work. I had to go out and buy a new printer. Im not a happy camper at all. Does anyone know what happened, or if I should throw this refill kit away. I would hate for this to happen again.
