Lexmark Z715 Printer Hack

Do you own a Lexmark Z715 printer? Ever have a hard time finding the right cartridge? I did, so I hacked the shite!
You will need a standard screw driver and NOTHING MORE.
That is for the hack of course. If you want to chop open your cartridges like I did, use a rotory tool. Careful though, it can be a real dogs dinner.

Before You Get All Twisted Up and Start Chopping at Stuff Take a Look Here.

This image is the bugger your after. It isn't in the cartridge, but in the carriage that holds the cartridge.

This Is Where You Find It.

Simply take a standard screw driver/knife/thumbnail, whatever, and pop it out. The new cartridge that looks like the old one, yet wont fit, now will fit. That's it your done!

Bonus Hack!!

However, now we know what the inside of the cartridge looks like, we can drill holes in the appropriate places and use refill kits!
