You need to put a strip of fexible eletrical tape over the large ink pad hole on the bottom front of the cartidge.
Drill a small hole at the top of the ink cartridge over the ink reservoir. (most refill kits come with a small bit to drill the hole). Fill the ink reservoir to 3/4. Put a piece of flexible electrical tape over the drilled hole to close the hole.
Voila! ... a refilled cartridge.
Most refill kits will have instructions.
Refilling can be messy so be careful and wear disposible latex gloves to avoid staining your hands. Also make sure you work over newpaper to catch any ink that you may drop.
Good luck.
I found that aftermarket cartridges are less than half the price of OEM cartridges and without the mess.
You do not want to do this. Your printer head can be permanently damaged.

I drilled the hole on the side with no handle. I put packing tape over the hole and it worked fine. I'm refilling it again right now... Good luck, have fun, and save some $$$!

I found that if you just hold down the 'stop' button with the little red icon on it for a few seconds, it resets the ink. But the cartridge has to have the error message that says it is completely out of ink, not just low on ink. Hold it down for a few seconds until it starts processing. It will check the cartridge, and then it worked for me!
