Maybe, just maybe....your printer thinks its still out of ink. Snoop around somewhere in your printer and see if there is a place to tell it that its good to go again. Restt button or some such thing.

Here's a post I made about a printer problem I had several years ago. Wont help you but you should get a laugh anyway.

One day I was getting so frustrated with my computer at work (self employed) that I through the mouse at the wall and much to my amazement it blew apart into lots of pieces.

Off I went to Staples for a new mouse.

About a month later my printer started acting up and making all sorts of internal noises and wouldn't print. I needed to print some documents.

Off I go to my computer shop and bought a new printer, $300 and change. Got my office up and running again.

Several months later I was sitting with nothing to do so I thought I would look at the broken printer again.

I took the cover off and started prodding around. I found a little piece of circular plastic with an arrow stamped on it. No matter what I checked I couldn't find anywhere in the printer that this would fit.

I plugged the printer in and low and behold...It printed. I'm a genius!!!!

Several weeks later I had a client come in who was in the computer business. I showed him the piece of plastic and asked if he knew what it was.

He replied.............Wait for it..............It's from a mouse. It's the bit that holds the little plastic ball in on the bottom.
