Will this work with HP Photosmart C4680 and if so, what are the precautions I should take before doing refilling? Is there any instructions how to do it? (Never have done this sort of thing before) Thanks.

I found out the HP printers have a code built in them that keeps you from being able to get them to work by refilling them, you would have to de-code that before trying it, if a repair can do this it should work. There are no instruction except what I have learned. You can try making a whole in top of the ink cartridge 1/16 drill bit then inject with a needle, only inject 1 cc don't over fill, if it don't work, it may have a code built in.

I wouldn't order ANY REFILL kit! I did and and my printer rejected it. There is a chip in the ink levels that alert the cartridges and won't let you refill! So lucky I didn't pay more then $20.00 bucks on the refill kits. BUT I did have to buy the right HP new cartridges price which isn't cheap! The best place I found to get the cartridges are either Sam's Club or Costco. Walmart only has 1/2 the ink compare to the other stores.. Look for the # of pages you get for the ink you purchase. Good luck!!

I'm sorry, I don't know that kind of printer...it might works, but I can't recommend this product to anyone because this type of refill cartridge broke my printer. However, I found a secret on how I have save money through my original cartridge. you can refill your original cartridge by dropping an ink slowly to its exit port, and let it seat for 10-15 minutes upside down. my cartridge is HP564, and my refill techniques really works well for me.

I have refillled regular HP cartriges as XL as well I have even used the base to refill color cartriges with ink I got from local suppliers, for the BW cartriges they have work well with standart and xl cartriges I have refilled mine more than 20 times!!

Rebecca, If that printer takes an HP 60 cartridge I would think you could. I have an HP Deskjet F4500 with an HP 60 cartridge and it does very well. I have not tried it on photos, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't do well on them too. I also agree with Natalie's comment about only being able to refill it once or twice. But it still saves a lot of money.

YES. After the screen tells you this ink is not "original" just go ahead and accept the cartridge and the screen will make another statement like do you want to continue.....enter "yes or go" to continue ahead the replacement and the printer will say nothing but the new refilled cartridge will be accepted and will work just fine.I had this same "threatening type statement" with HP and they made it even more difficult to use Costcorefills but its against federal law to force you to buy the manufacturers ink.

Yes, I had an error code come up before. I had to do a reset and replace with new cartridges. But my printer still works fine. Considering ordering this product again. I have an HP Photosmart C7280. But also be aware or which supplier or seller that you are ordering these cartridges from. That really makes a difference.

I've used 'em for my HP C4820 with some success but you're really limited by your ability to deal with the cartridge itself. Eventually the printer refused to recognize the other party's cartridges I was filling and also refused to recognize that I'd filled a used HP cartridge. /sespite a long, tedious process of "resetting" the printer, "resetting" the cartridge and so forth, I still had to buy a new one. InkTek ink didn't clog the printer's jets and did save me some money on expensive HP replacements. BTW, fill 'em over a surface you can clean; that ink is permanent on fabrics!

Two PC's and this model Photosmart. It will not scan from the printer and refers to the computer. The computer pops up with a Destination Component problem, will not scan and asks to have the printer reinstalled;done with no effect. Some esoteric remedies on the internet which I may try. Conclusion: not worth the hassle. UPDATE: I borrowed this solution from another blog and it worked for me. Since I am a novice, I am not sure which problems it will solve: Tried to go into the log file, but said access is denied. So, tried making a new admin account through Start -&gt; Control Panel -&gt; User Accounts -&gt; Manage Accounts -&gt; Create New Account. This was done in classic view of control panel. Made the account, logged onto it, tried to scan and it worked fine.

Chris, you have a very good question, and I am not sure of the answer. I have thrown away all of the instructions on this printer. I replaced my original 7360 with one from an Amazon seller. It was old, but still in the box. Not able to use the install inks since they were out of date and HP would not support the out of date printer. So, I got a refund. You might try HP, but I do not hold much confidence that you will get any help with equipment that HP has stopped supporting. Good Luck. You might want to think about a Photosmart 7520.

Thats the exact ink cartridge my HP printer takes, and it worked fine! Please note (this was very frustrating to discover) that ink cartridges have a computer chip in them and are pre-programmed for how much ink was originally in it. It won't read a refill of ink. You can override the warnings that printer ink is low for only so long-- i was only able to refill my cartridge once before my computer refused to use the cartridge. I bought a new cartridge and plan to only refill each cartridge once. Still saves a ton of money, though!!

No idea but the if the cartridge has a chip, and you cannot reset it, then it's not going to work. My case is even with the refillable Lexmark cartridges, it still refused to work after the refill. Nothing wrong just the printer detected the refill and 'refused' to use it.

I've been refilling my ink cartridges and had three different kinds of experiences with the same printer. 1) If you keep an ink tank topped off, it doesn't seem to know you've been adding ink and behaves rather well. 2) If you fill a tank just before it goes empty, the printer gets confused. The "gas gage" for that tank says the "tank may have run out", but it shows that you added ink. 3) If you wait until a tank runs dry and then fill it, the printer won't use the ink until you accept the fact that you are voiding the warranty. Apparently, the printer then remembers that the waranty has been voided, and it no longer tracks the ink level for that tank. I used to be an engineering manager at HP's inkjet division. Don't be afraid to refill tanks. It only takes a few refills to save enough money to buy your next printer. (Be sure to use Canon compatible ink. They are easy to find on the web.)

Hello Janill, Let me start by saying that yes you can have costco refill these for you. What I dont do anymore is have time time to run into costco to get them filled. Based on my calculations. It costs me around $7.75 per 2 pack of color number 96 HP cartridge pack. These also go under the name of used/refilled/refurbished. I ordered a 3 pack that came free of shipping to replace the older cartridges and had them in 2 days with my prime membership. You can tell that they should be recycled back to amazon or third party as they all can be reused over and over again. I personally save mine by putting the caps back on then keeping them ready to take to Costco or Staples, even officemax. Depending on where you live, and the model of HP you can always go the third route by ordering new from a generic company called INK4WORK they are available for around $18 a pack compared to $46 to $66 that HP wants online at the amazon wherehouse. Thinking of it, Im going to order another 6 pack of refurbished black HP AIO 7500 series ink cartridges right now while im thinking of it for my Soho. Good luck. I hope that you find what your looking for. I have 2 machines and Im thinking of adding a third fax machine along with the new T1 that i ordered. have a good day, Drew

Greetings, I can't speak specifially of the HP920 cartridge, but I can tell you that it does, in fact, work im my HP901 and HP60 cartridges. At first it didn't seem to work. I followed the instructions that came with the kit and didn't have any luck. So what I did was add more ink via the vent hole of each respective color on the top of the cartridge. I just pierced the lable with the syringe and added a total of approximately 4.0 cc in the black cartridge, and between 2.5 to 3.0 cc of color. ( My three colors are incorporated into one cartridge). Make sure you indentify the appriate vent for each color you are adding. Anyway, after doing so, I have been getting excellent results. I have pinted about 70 8x10 pictures and several hundred pages of text, and I am still on the same refill!!! After you fill your cartidges, cove the label that you pierced, with a small piece of a self adhesive shipping or mailing label, and you should be good to go. I've been told that you can only refill a cartridge so many times, and then it wont work anymore, but even if you can only refill it a couple times, it more than pays for itself to buy this kit. My replacement cartridges cost almost 70 bucks, so, well you get the idea. Hope this helps! Kris
