Hello, i have refilled the cartridges for HP 5150, and the printer started to print all in green and a little bit of yellow, what can i do to correct that problem?
The problem is the same on Linux and Windows.
Thanks.

The problem is caused by your refilled 57 cartridge not printing magenta. These sponged cartridges can be difficult to refill and get working. Airlocks in the printhead often block inkflow. A priming tool like this might help restore ink flow: http://www.ausjetinks.com.au/p/Prim...27-28-74-HP/Cartridge-Primers/INK-30-EZ-F5657

For more info about refilling HP cartridges you could search the HP refilling and troubleshooting forum. Many HP cartridges are similar to the 56/57 used in your printer.
