Dell A920 ink carts
My daughter recently purchased a second-hand Dell P4 that came with the
above referenced printer. I normally order my ink from PrintPal for my Canon printer but am unable to find the Dell replacements listed. In reading through this ng I see that the A920 is apparently a modified Lexmark unit and am wondering if anyone has found it possible to substitute Lexmark replacement carts to use in the A920. Barring that, does anyone have any recommendations for purchase of the Dell carts for the thing at reasonable prices from reputable on-line ink vendors? A Google search turned up a zillion ink sellers but I'm not familiar with any but PrintPal. -- dvus |

carts for the thing at reasonable prices from reputable on-line ink vendors? A Google search turned up a zillion ink sellers but I'm not familiar with any but PrintPal. Before you monkey around with the dell a920 do consider the high cost of consumables, and the relativly low cost of a replacement printer. IIRC this is one of those that the cost of ink is SO high that another printer costing $100 would be cheaper after the first refill of OEM ink. In the past i've mailed these pritners to One Dell Way Round Rock Texas with no return address in the hopes they get the message that they are not worth the cost of their ink. If after consideration you stick with the dell... I have no direct experence modifying the a920. Physicaly from my understanding you can modify the printer with an x-acto knife to accept lexmark cartridges. Whether or not the printer is electronicly keyed to "dells" version is not something I personaly know. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...3 6dad5eea590 Should this interest you I would strongly sugest seeking a greater authority than my self. I'm only aware that Dell buys their printers from Lexmark, and some cartridges that are the same except for some minor shape changes so you are forced to buy your ink from Dell. Beyond that I personaly I avoid these printers. |

Heh, you must feel strongly to invest that kind of postage. If after consideration you stick with the dell... I have no direct experence modifying the a920. Physicaly from my understanding you can modify the printer with an x-acto knife to accept lexmark cartridges. Whether or not the printer is electronicly keyed to "dells" version is not something I personaly know. Interesting. Seems worth investigating, though. I doubt my daughter will want to buy another printer unless this one is too expensive to maintain. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...3 6dad5eea590 Should this interest you I would strongly sugest seeking a greater authority than my self. I'm only aware that Dell buys their printers from Lexmark, and some cartridges that are the same except for some minor shape changes so you are forced to buy your ink from Dell. Beyond that I personaly I avoid these printers. I agree, if it were mine I'd probably give it away. The group from which the link you posted originated may be a good source for information of this sort, thanks for that. -- dvus |

Asshole. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOUR MOTHER Heh, a SHOUTING asshole at that! You even threw in a classic "mother" insult! As a troll, you're fairly pathetic, but I'm a little surprised to see your kind in the "comp" hierarchy. Just out of curiosity, did you get laughed out of one of the other hierarchies where the real trolls hang out, or are you just a kid using Mommy's PC? -- dvus |
