***UPDATE 9/26/2009***

After receiving a flood of e-mails from people asking me for tips on how to refill the cartridge, I've decided to remove my e-mail from this review and include the instructions for your benefit:

Lately, I have been refilling the very same cartridge this printer came with. I've been fed up in the past with having to buy overpriced proprietary cartridges.

What you will need to refill:

1. Power Drill(Bought one for about $20-$30 at Home Depot
2. A thin drill bit (forgot the radius, I just went to Home Depot and asked for the smallest one available)
3. Black ink refill Kit (You can obtain one on eBay for $5-$10 depending on whether you buy in sets like I do. The kit will include an instruction manual, a syringe, and a small bottle of ink).


Instructions:

Create a tiny hole at the upper portion of the cartridge underneath the sticker where a small imprint is located. After making that hole, use a syringe and fill it with ink. Push the syringe needle through the hole you've created until you feel the needle pushing through sponge inside the cartridge. Squeeze the ink in gentley.

The only downside to this approach is that I have to go disable to printer monitor so that Canon's manual page counter can't force me to replace my cartridge. To do this, follow these steps:

Go to

1. Canon Utilities
2. My Printer (folder)
3. My Printer (application)
4. Printer Status
5. Option (top left)
6. Uncheck "Enable Status Monitor"


Last part:

Reinsert the cartridge back into the printer. The printer will still whine that the cartridge is empty. With the printer on, hold the "Stop" button down for 5-8 seconds. Whining begone.


Eventually this ink cartridge I've been refilling is going to dry out permanently one way or another. At that point, I'll be buying another one.

But you get the idea. Save tons of cash. Pay a few bucks for the price of the typical $20 cartridge.Get more detail about Canon PIXMA MX330 Inkjet All-In-One Printer.
