It seemed to work OK for while and then declared itself dead with plenty of ink in it. I suspect Lexmark meters the flow and decides at some point that the cartridge must be carrying "evil fluids" and balks. The design policy is "Protect the revenue stream!".

Scott, you have permission to verify who I am from my account. Besides, I think it's time we took you aside for some, erm, reeducation, homeland security style...
