I have bought compatibles in the past but the ink quality is not so great or the chips dont recognise. Any help would be appreciated :) Hi,

Period. Sorry. If you ask the linux community about this...they'll say get another print. Oh, and DELL just re-brands Lexmark's printers, so check to make sure you're not getting one of those if you buy Dell...I know, I have a "Dell" printer and Ubuntu and @*#$()*@#($&@#($&!@#$^&*() 2)Nearly all printers report the ink out before it is. Nearly all...not just lexmark; some are more accurate than others, but I forget where I found the study; BUT! This is no reason to go lexmark. Two things:

I recently purchased a remanufactured lexmark ink cartridge for a P707 solely for the purpose of printing out two beefy keyboard user manuals and found half the ink done after printing out 100 pages of the first manual. I then proceeded to print out about a dozen A4 b/w prints...then gutted, I soon realised that I'd have to buy another cartridge to ensure I'd be able to complete print of the second manual cos by this time I'd got that ominous 'ink level low go buy another cartridge' warning (well! apparently..according to the software) I thought this consumption was incredibly extravagant..I was using Quick Print as well...curious I entered 'life of a lexmark printer cartidge' as search criteria on google and came across your article on the first page. Encouraged I proceeded to print out the second manual, and acheived this without any notable loss in quality....Basically you saved a trip to the city centre, spending 20 quid, a customer complaint and a potential headache...Thanks for your trouble.
