Running for almost 6 months now, a friend's Lexmark 83 (3-in-1 inkjet
printer) is fast running out of black ink.  He said he had check the prices
for replacement cartridges and thinks 80 bucks is too much for a set (B/W
and Color) or almost $40 for a black ink cartridge.  He is seriously
considering getting a refill kit instead.  The question is... will manual
refilling of black ink cartridge work for Lexmark 83?

I have read somewhere that newer inkjet printer cartridges now have imbedded
chips on them that signals the status of ink level  to the computer.  And as
far as I know this kind of cartridge does not accept manual ink refills.
So, how about it Lexmark 83 owners out there, can you share us your
experience?

TIA,
Emie DelRosario
