It uses the 100 and 105 carts - I found a site on the net that shows using the existing small hole on top of the cart to refill but when I try to insert the needle into the hole it seems to hit something hard - not soft like sponge in the HP carts I have refilled. So I drilled a hole in it and had the same problem - something hard inside.
I did try putting ink into both holes with the same result - the ink would come up out of the hole and then slowly go down. After a couple of time it would no longer go down with very little ink having been inserted.
Question - if I find a way to refill, will the printer recognize the refilled cart? Also, I have ordered some after market carts - will I be able to refill these and have the printer recognize them?
As for the printer itself - my old HP 5610 took almost 1 min to print either a b&w or color page. This pro901 prints the same b&w page in about 12 sec but the color page is only slightly faster than the HP - almost 1 min. For an advertised speed of draft 30ppm on both, this is way beyond bad.
I am trying to find an all in one printer that I can print flyers on but it would appear that the $0.042 cents each price I have from a local printer may be the way to go. Anyone have a cheap way to go with this I would appreciate any help.

It was a nice printer with no set up problems and the duplex printing was nice. But it seems one can not refill the carts so that is out for me - I need the ability to refill and without doing so the 901 gets expensive.
