The Dell Syndrome
From information I have gathered from different sources I have come to the conclusion that Dell cartridges are exactly the same as Lexmark cartridges EXCEPT for the cap. For owners of Dell printers this should be cause for celebration. Now bear in mind that I have not confirmed any of these findings with my own tests. However, the information does come from people who claim to have actually tried and successfully used a Lexmark cartridge in their Dell printer.Before I begin I want to compare some pricing for the Dell and Lexmark cartridges that we are referring to. These prices were accurate at the time of this study.Dell Web SiteBlack (310-4142) $26.99Color (310-4143) $29.99Lexmark Web SiteBlack (82) $29.99Color (83) $34.99Saples.comBlack (82) $32.99Color (83) $38.99Officemax.comBlack (82) $29.99Color (83) $37.99I have included prices from Staples and OfficeMax for Lexmark cartridges because the whole purpose of this article is finding an alternative to ordering from Dell's web site which is very inconvenient if you need the cartridge yesterday.
Apparently Dell has a monopoly on these cartridges. I did a Google search for Dell cartridges and I couldn't find anybody EXCEPT Dell selling them.If you will notice the prices from Dell are cheaper than the rest but if you take into consideration shipping then it pretty much evens out.Ok, on to the procedures.There are two ways to do this. You can modify the printer itself or you can modify the cartridge. This procedure works with the black and color cartridges.To modify the cartridge you must remove the cap from your existing Dell cartridge. Depending on the amount of glue it should come off easily with a carpet razor knife or a box cutter.
You will need to buy a new Lexmark cartridge. Look for #82 (black) and/or #83 (color). Remove the cap from the Lexmark cartridge and install the Dell cap that you removed earlier on the body of the Lexmark cartridge. Expect to get some ink on your hands. Glue the Dell cap on the Lexmark body using super glue, airplane glue or a hot glue gun.
Hot glue is probably better because it will be easier to remove the cap to re-use later.You should now be able to use your new Lexmark cartridge in your Dell printer. The second method is to modify the printer. Some people may get a little queasy with this but both methods work. If you have a problem with this method just use the cap method.In your printer there is a "half-round" plastic protrusion that prevents you from using a Lexmark cartridge. By simply removing the piece of plastic you will be able to insert the Lexmark cartridge into your Dell printer.
Start by purchasing your Lexmark cartridge(s). Insert the Lexmark cartridge in your printer. It WILL NOT go in all the way, don't force it. Carefully peer into the printer, you may need a flashlight, and take notice where the plastic protrusion is preventing the Lexmark cartridge to go back in further. I am told it is fairly evident and you should have no trouble seeing it.
It is a "half-round" protrusion at the top rear of the cartridge.Once you see the plastic protrusion you can either remove the screws that hold it in place or remove it with a pare of pliers or wire cutters. I can't take responsibility if you kill your printer but if you are careful you shouldn't have any problems. Do the same with the color cartridge and your Lexmark cartridges should now fit in your Dell printer..

Thin, Fine Hair? This Will Work for You
Copyright 2006 Barbara Morris, R.Ph.
As a child, I remember that my mother called a woman's hair her "crowning glory." She was proud of her hair ? it was thick and beautiful. As a reminder of her youth, she kept a thick braid of her hair that was at least three inches around. Unfortunately, I did not inherit her "crowning glory" genes.
I guess I can thank my bald father for the less than bountiful amount of hair on my head.
Mother was right; a woman with abundant beautiful hair appears more feminine and sexy. However, millions of women, me included, must deal with thin, thinning, and limp, baby fine hair.
At age 18, a hair stylist took notice of the thinness of the hair on top of my head.
Guess what ? over time, it did not become thicker!
What to do? For me, and for most women with thin hair, helpful advice and good solutions are hard to come by. That means you work with what you have and make the most of what you have....
