HP Printers (or others?)
Hello
Does anyone have the problems I used to have with ordering/receiving ink cartridges? I have a HP Photosmart C5380 and had lots of orders which resulted in cart's that simply were wrong for the printer; too big for the carrier slot, etc. I found that, for example, the Photo Black came in several different varieties, some of which were made for the same print engine fitted to another model.
Eventually, I went to the HP website and determined the EXACT cart's for my needs, noting the short generic code as well as the HP code. In my case, the Photo Black is usually 364XL (generic code, large capacity) and CB3222EE (Hp Code).
Then I made a small graphic to show the colours and 2 codes, printed and lightly taped it to the top of the printer. Graphic is attached: it is a MS Word 97-2003 doc, as I created it in OOffice and converted it. Hope this helps others with same problems!
