Those bastards at Dell want you to think that you can use only their cartridges, but I have discovered that the printer I have will take cartridges for a Lexmark ( I think Lexmark makes it). All I had to do was break a couple of little plastic tabs off the inside of the top cover and Voila! they fit just fine.
