 |
|
Hi all,
I know this subject has been discused before, but does anyone know if the
lexmark number 16,17,26, or the number 27 cartridges will fit the dell 720
printer?
And is it possible to modify with a small hacksaw!! the top of the
cartidge's as the lexmark look very similar, has anyone tried it!!
Reason being, dell replacements are ridiculous prices, and the lexmark are
so much cheaper.
any comments appreciated. |

An easier modification is to remove the tab from the cartridge enclosure lid
on the printer.
Once that is done, the printer will accept and function properly with either
Dell or Lexmark cartridges.
This applies to both Dell and :Lexmark printers.
Sorry, I no longer remember which cartridges are which.
But the appropriate cartridges are identical with exception of case/top
color and shape of the top since Lexmark makes the Dell cartridges.
The specific shape of the top is solely to prevent use of a Lexmark
cartridge in a Dell and vice versa.
Yes, I have seen this procedure used.
That is how the local business (Island InkJet
http://www.islandinkjet.com/ ) does it with their printers so one printer
can be used to test both Dell and Lexmark cartridges.
By the way, I do not endorse Island InkLet since they have blatantly lied to
me and in my opinion they are not very honest to all their customers.

I was in a Staples store the other day talking to a manager and he
said that they either now carry Dell compatible print cartridges or
will in the near future.

The key word is "compatible".
So it is not a Dell or Lexmark cartridge.

Thank you too. I am learning a lot on this group. I'm going to look

them.

Right, "compatible". My understanding is that it is not a Dell or
Lexmark cartridge. If I find out more I'll post it, such as the
difference in price, which might be hard to know if the cartridges
have different capacities.

I am not trying to be facetious when I ask this, but why does anyone |
need someone else to refill their ink cartridges and charge them for it?
All you have to do is buy some refill ink, put the ink in the little
needle refiller they give you when you buy the ink, stick the needle in
the little hole and fill up the cartridge with ink and plug up the hole.
Am I missing something here? Do they only sell ink in America?

Time is $ and for some even that time spent refilling is $ lost from other
ventures.
Also, it can be messy.
"All you have to do is buy some refill ink"
Not really that easy all the time.
Different manufacturers and often different printers from the same
manufacturer use different types of inks.
The wrong ink can damage or destroy the printer.
Lastly what is "America"?
It is a vast area spreading far north and south of the equator.

Jupiter,
Those are all valid reasons I suppose. I never thought of it that way
because I have never had any difficulty with doing it myself. It seems
like the easiest thing out of many difficult things relating to a
computer to me. Not to all though I can now understand.
| Quote: | Lastly what is "America"?

America is what people think of when the word America is used. America
is the land known far and wide as being the anchor of this earth, the
beacon that other people's and countries love and hate. The land that
if this world was without, chaos would very likely reign whether many
will admit it or not. America is the pacifier, the war lord, the
innovator, the much maligned lately, the admired and envied, the
behemoth that crushes and the delicate flower that nourishes. America
is America and everyone knows it and most want to come here to this land
and when they arrive they are amazed at the civility and culture and
evenhandedness of its people. America is the land that reigns supreme
and wields the largest stick ever known to mankind, yet has no desire to
rule the rest of the world. America is the land where humans have
achieved the closest thing to true freedom ever achieved.
America is what makes the world turn. Without America, the good among
nations and the bad among nations would have nobody to admire and nobody
to loathe. They would simply be on their own in this mean world.
America is America. Jupiter, many in America consider it an insult when
someone asks what is America. Canada, Mexico, Central and South America
are America only in stuffy and rigid definitions of this landmass. The
United States of America is America.

Those are actually the narrow minded few.

OK, I wrote a poem that sums up my views. My Uncle sent me a
Christmas poem about a dedicated soldier fighting for our "ideals" and
how the soldier was invited in to a house for comfort and the soldier
said something like "just like my daddy in Nam I am watching over you
and fighting for freedom", blah blah blah.
This is my Christmas poem in response to his:
A Different Christmas Poem <Reality Check>
The Iraquis took shelter, the bombs all alight
Well aware of their perilous plight
I gazed round the city, seeing illusions of might
From the "great" US army, a disorganized sight
My wife was stirring, her head on my chest,
Hungry and poor, unable to rest
Incompetance galore,
is this the U.S. best?
Bin Laden looked on, with great satisfaction
Knowing the Iraquis will be split with into factions
American's bemoaning, 911 oh my
Now he's bleeding the US economy dry
Bush and Rumsfeld, with their tortuous intentions
Decide to ignore the Geneva convention
The proud US leaders of the past over time
Would shamefully writhe at the scene of this crime
Some people think soldiers believe in the cause
About as much as they believe in Santa Clause
The image of them boldly keeping us secure ...
Reality is, they want end to their tour
War isn't pretty, all poems and rhymes
So let's not pretend, it is hell, all the time
War's bloody and messy, tragedy abounds
Especially when justified by faulty grounds
The leaders inane, immoral at best
Think we're powerful and mighty --
after all, we're the West!
Reality though's our war machine's stressed
There's not really that much
In our pathetic war chest
Our country is great, oh yeah we are fine
Reality will show we are in great decline
For the billions we spend,
Means we'll have to contend,
As our great country's future
begins to descend
America the beautiful the land of the free
Soon will be poor, only partly from this spree
The future's not bright,
anyone with a brain would portend
Seeing the obvious signs and the trends
Problems so great, impossible to transcend
So sad to see, our inglorious end.

That was quite a sing song way of saying you dislike America because
around 3,000 people were killed by terrorists in our country. Sure, we
attacked Iraq, big deal. Osama shouldn't have invited the devil into his
back yard should he? Iraq should not have been playing the game of we
will let you know what we want you to know and keep you guessing. Iraq
should have complied with the terms of their defeat in a more
comprehensive way shouldn't they have.
The day that the people whom many of you in the U.K. admire attacked the
United States of America is the day the bell tolled for those fools.
Did they think that we would just take their picture and put them on
trial as the English do when terrorists attack their country? Did they
think that America did not have the will to change their lives as they
knew it? Did they think that America is a weak nation as their
propaganda teaches them?
Did they think that after the attack that Imams in the United States
would be able to recruit future terrorists and preach death to our
citizens as they are encouraged to do in the U.K.? Did they think that
America would not have the courage to put a clamp down on the Imams and
tell them that if they preach hatred and death to American citizens that
there will be serious consequences? The U.K. is scared of their Imams,
the U.S.A. is not.
Did they think that after the attack on America that Muslims in America
would be able to parade in American streets and mock us? In the U.K.,
this type of thing is supported and nurtured. Muslims are allowed to
ridicule and poke fun at the families who had sisters and brothers and
mothers and fathers murdered in the subways in the U.K. The Muslims are
allowed to make posters and march through the streets of England that
remind the English people that if they step out of line again, they will
pay. Posters that said remember 7-7.
Did they think that America was as weak and scared as the U.K.? Did
they think that they would be able to ridicule and belittle our dead
citizens with the full support of the U.S. government? Our government
still has a backbone, it still cares about it's citizens.
America will never bow to people that kill us. We will never bow or
make concessions to people that murder our citizens. America is
stronger than ever. Our soldiers are more experienced than at any
recent time. America will always be the strongest, the wisest, and the
most brilliant country to ever be formed. And for those of you who feel
that we are weak because American soldiers are being killed, you are
wrong. We are strong because we use restraint and do not wish to simply
wipe out innocent civilians. There is no question to a sane individual
that America has the ability to simply clear Iraq of every man, woman,
and child. But we do not because we are a compassionate people.
We are not brutal or savage like the English have been in the past, that
is not weakness, that is called respect.
And for those of you who carp and whine about it being an unjust war, a
criminal war, get over it. There have been and always will be people
like you. What war is ever just? Was it just and humane for America to
come and bail Europe out of WWI and WWII? Not really, that was not
legal, America had no right to come to a foreign land and attack others,
but we did. We did because they attacked us in WWII and just to help
you weaklings out in WWI. But was it really a justified war, either one
of them? So what, the Japanese killed our servicemen in Pearl Harbor,
they were just people, did we have to fight back just because of that?
Not really.
Has any war at any time ever been justified? There were people who
hated war 5,000 years ago too, did it stop anything? No. Will it ever
prevent what is going to happen? No. Was just about every English king
a crazed lunatic that thrived on death and destruction? Yes. Were
Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Caesar, Frederick the Great, Genghis
Khan, Charlemagne, etc... anything but brutal savages that murdered
people just for fun? No. They were all inhumane and illegal acts that
they all committed, but they are still renowned the world around and
worshiped by many hypocrites.
Grow up, this is the real world. Come and join it.
