I chatted with a friend. I recharged the Compaq IJ200 color printer cartridge and it works just fine. It looks like one gets about 5 recharges for a kit at about $5 a recharge versus $40 for a new cartridge. It was simple and straight forward. I tried to get the Lexmark Medley 4c, fax, scanner printer black cartridge working, but it is too dryed up. A new Cartridge would cost about $30 to $40 for black or color.
