I have the same problem with my newer HP the display warns that ink is low when it is still about half full and will work for a long time before it is really low.. The first time I refilled it wouldn't work, with the second cartridge I refilled it sooner and had no problems (Black), however the color cartridge will not work no matter went it's refilled, it will not print one or more color and guess what? Nothing works when the color cartridge quits just goes into "replace and alignment" mode. Can't even send a fax! (Combo printer). They sure know how to rip people off.
