I have an old Epson C41UX printer. Once i ran out of ink and thought of refilling it. So ignoring the warning of the company, i refilled rather than buying a new cartridge. but after that the printer didn't work.It only gives the ink cartridge empty warning. I've heard that printer head also can get damaged by the duplicate ink. I want to know if same is the case with my printer. Is there any way i can bring my printer back into life and be able to use it refilled afterwards?

instead of refilling get a duplicate compatible cartridge. this will detect and warn you as not a genuine, you can ignore this. dont try refilling in epson its bit hassle. in case of HP its ok.
