Refilling ink cartridges... a surefire recipe for disaster.  These 
things deteriorate... they're not really meant to last more than one 
load... esp the ones with printed circuitry.  I've fixed many an inkjet 
where the user refilled the cartridges or used off brand 
ink...especially Epson's where if you get the venting wrong you ruin 
the printhead (yes I can fix them often with hot water and a hypodermic 
with needle removed).

Well I'll say it anyway... buy some new HP brand carts and call it a 
day... but if you think this will work OK... then.. by all means... 
that's what this list is for :-)
