What am I doing wrong? I filled the Blank ink cartridge with 5ml and it only gave me about 30 printed pages, then started printing blank pages.

It depends on how much you print, I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Just refill ink cartridge again and again. You can do this several times before having to replace cartridge. I don't have to replace cartridge maybe once a year instead monthly as before. One thing is that make sure you clean your printheads every time you refill cartridge also. I know that it's used ink but it also give lives to the cartridge. I hope you find this helpful

I think the black cartridges hold more ink than 5 mls. Its the 3 slot color ones that hold 5 mls in each color section

Let the cartridge sit for about 12 hours before printing if it was completely empty! :) I didn't know this either but it helped greatly!

Sorry, I can't be much help. The ones that came with the printer didn't last long. Figured I'd get the bigger ones. Have to say I'm very displeased with the amount of printing from one cartridge. Perhaps the cartridges that came with the printer were some sort of sample size.

You did not provide the printer model.Now, did you try to replace the cartridges with ORIGINAL ones? Even empty ones will do, just to test if they are recognized by the printer.(ONE cartridge will suffice for this test.)If the printer will recognize such a cartridge (even an error msg. will serve as 'Recognize'), you know what I already know: never look at this vendor and his products again...

I would focus more on the number of the ink cartridge. I have an HP printer that takes ink 564. Hope that helps.

Either the cartridge is defective or you need to clean the printer carefully. It is odd, because if the cartridge is defective, then it would happen on all the pages. Did you put the old cartridge back in to test printer?

I'm not sure . That never happen to me . Ran out of black ink and was able to still print in color. But not sure if it works the other way around.

mine did the same thing, I calibrated, cleaned the printhead, changed the printhead and put brand new ink in it and it still didn't work. I am on my 3rd Kodak printer now from the company and it started doing it again. I am switching brands.

All the colors should print? Maybe the head needs to be cleaned or the ink has dried up in that cartridge. Do a Test page between cleanings.

I used 1 black ink just fine. My second black ink rejected it and refuses to print..... as did the 3rd cartridge. However at least I got 1 full cartridge use out of it before the rest were rejected. I even tried renaming my printer in the Control Panel Like hted suggested. Still wouldn't print anymore.

Yes that's what I found also. I'm not sure if the "pads"inside the cartridge dried out very quickly or what, but I used 2 sets of the cartridges (color/black) & they worked fine. After that the other cartridges didn't work. Cleaned them etc. Still nothing. They printed for the test print, but wouldn't print anything else.

I suppose you have to buy new cartridges. I hope you like your printer better than I like mine. Mine sounds like a truck starting up when I use it.

Yes, same thing just happened to me today, haven't even gone through the first ink cartridge yet, I'm on here looking for answers.

I did not have chance to print even one page!!! The cartridge kept jamming the page. I pulled and refitted the cartridge several times without success. My old cartridge with little ink still prints pages.

We just went through the 225 ink cartridge in 1 month! I wonder how many "typical" pages the 225 will last? 1 month seems ridiculously short.Just looked up the page yield for this cartridge it says 340 pages.

I havent use the first original cartridge yet so far about 30 pages, it still show 1/3 left, but I have friend use then same printer with outside ink tank for 50$ he can print for ever, I may try that later.

Once the cartridge registers as empty, turn the printer off and back on again and the cartridge will register as full. Mine wouldn't reset until after it thinks it's empty.

Well, start with the fundamentals: Is the black cartridge in the correct slot where the black cartridge should go? If you put the old cartridge back in, does it work? Do you see the ink level show up when you query the device?
