What's the trick to using Lexmark carts in a Primera?

I recently bought a nearly new Primera Bravo Autoprinter. It's a horrible, clunky and overpriced device but if it will do the job for me I'll be satisfied.

I discovered earlier on this forum that you can use Lexmark 16/26 carts in the Primera. In fact, I wouldn't have bought it without knowing this because the Primera carts are also way overpriced.

But I've tried the Lexmarks and they don't work. Looks like the Primera is not recognizing them, even though I've placed Primera OEM barcode stickers on the Lexmark replacements. This is the way I was told to do it and I can't see why this shouldn't work.

I'll be real grateful if anyone knows the right way to convert the Lexmark cartridges.

All of them! LOL
Not the White with black text sticker. The colored one underneath the cartridge. Very hard to remove without tearing! Good luck!
