Hi,

Lexmark's cartridges are expensive.

Has anyone found other cartridges that will fit and run the Z 2390
printer?

Thanks

Ps. Am I right in thinking that substitute cartridges would need a
universal printer driver? I suppose the original driver just might
work?

Beware that some of the newer Lexmark printers have some sort of
refill sensing technology so that they refuse to work if refilled.

We learned that the hard way, and ended up getting a used HP Deskjet
for a family member after we got him a new Lexmark.

Thanks for the responses.

Regarding the sensor, evidently there are ways around the problem.
Hope I don't have to find out, but I probably will.

Best wishes

EPSON have the chip also and so many others. for the epson there is a $37 resetter bad idea. for $83 i got continious ink refill same printer 3 running years never removed the carthridges. Now that is a solution. Along time ago i had a lizmark and it work fine for 6 months then i removed the carthridges and never worked again. bad connecection on those pins. A printer cost $100 ink cost $60 cheaper to buy a new printer or get continious ink never worry about printing again your choice.
