Hardware Forum / Peripherals / Printers / February 2006Dell A920 ink carts
My daughter recently purchased a second-hand Dell P4 that came with the above referenced printer. I normally order my ink from PrintPal for my Canon printer but am unable to find the Dell replacements listed. In reading through this ng I see that the A920 is apparently a modified Lexmark unit and am wondering if anyone has found it possible to substitute Lexmark replacement carts to use in the A920. Barring that, does anyone have any recommendations for purchase of the Dell carts for the thing at reasonable prices from reputable on-line ink vendors? A Google search turned up a zillion ink sellers but I'm not familiar with any but PrintPal.

The net is full of pathetic little wanna-be's like measle-kid, and some are fun to poke with pointy sticks for the amusement value.

He writes hundreds a day usually with little to no valuable information, and it will only be a gain for you to be rid of him. Also, he gets off on being responded to, even if it is in a derogatory manner, so to extinguish his presence, best to ignore him. Most of his information is absolutely useless anyway. Most other members here have asked his messages not be quoted either, so we don't have to accidentally run into his posts.

IF HE FILTERS THAT PERSON OUT THAN HOW DOES HE KNOW HOW MANY MESSAGES. HE MUST LOOK TO FIND OUT. HE JUST LIKES TO MAKE HIMSELF FEEL ABOVE OTHERS BY GETTING PEOPLE TO CLOG THEIR PRINTERS WITH GENERIC INK AND THEN TRYS TO BE A BIGSHOT AND SEND THEM A UNCLOGGING MANUAL THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. > Also, he gets off on being responded to, even if it is in a derogatory > manner, so to extinguish his presence, best to ignore him.

Before you monkey around with the dell a920 do consider the high cost of consumables, and the relativly low cost of a replacement printer. IIRC this is one of those that the cost of ink is SO high that another printer costing $100 would be cheaper after the first refill of OEM ink. In the past i've mailed these pritners to One Dell Way Round Rock Texas with no return address in the hopes they get the message that they are not worth the cost of their ink. If after consideration you stick with the dell... I have no direct experence modifying the a920. Physicaly from my understanding you can modify the printer with an x-acto knife to accept lexmark cartridges. Whether or not the printer is electronicly keyed to "dells" version is not something I personaly know. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.sys.pc-clone.dell/browse_frm/thread/50fb3421e 06ef647/ee6f36dad5eea590?lnk=st&q=modify+A920&rnum=7#ee6f36dad5eea590 Should this interest you I would strongly sugest seeking a greater authority than my self. I'm only aware that Dell buys their printers from Lexmark, and some cartridges that are the same except for some minor shape changes so you are forced to buy your ink from Dell. Beyond that I personaly I avoid these printers. >> Barring that, does anyone have any recommendations for purchase of >> the Dell carts for the thing at reasonable prices from reputable [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Rock Texas with no return address in the hopes they get the message > that they are not worth the cost of their ink. Heh, you must feel strongly to invest that kind of postage. > If after consideration you stick with the dell... I have no direct > experence modifying the a920.

Interesting. Seems worth investigating, though. I doubt my daughter will want to buy another printer unless this one is too expensive to maintain. > http://groups.google.com/group/alt.sys.pc-clone.dell/browse_frm/thread/50fb3421e 06ef647/ee6f36dad5eea590?lnk=st&q=modify+A920&rnum=7#ee6f36dad5eea590 > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > minor shape changes so you are forced to buy your ink from Dell. > Beyond that I personaly I avoid these printers. I agree, if it were mine I'd probably give it away. The group from which the link you posted originated may be a good source for information of this sort, thanks for that.

Yes, Lexmark has the contract, but Dell was unhappy with making nothing on printers while others made the money on the ink cartridges, where the profits are, so they decided to rebrand and alter the Lexmarks so people would be forced to buy the cartridges from them. No big surprise there, Michael Dell is a big Bush supporter... They give you the printers o you have to buy your ink from them. I'd be surprised there are any 3rd parties making anything but refilled cartridge. My suggestion is to refill your own cartridge or have it done for you by a refiller. When it dies, either buy another cartridge from Dell, or give away the printer to someone more fortunate than yourself, who can afford the ink ;-) Art PS: I would not own a Lexmark inkjet printer if it wasn't given to me as part of a purchase. It is still in the box. Art >>Barring that, does anyone have any recommendations for purchase of the Dell >>carts for the thing at reasonable prices from reputable on-line ink vendors?
