Should work very well then. We had no problems when using DOS
and WordPerfect.

There are several who refill inkjet cartridges in the TECH echo
and there has been considerable discussion about refilling
there recently. You can scan backwards or ask questions in the
TECH echo to get uptodate information about how/what/where and
if it's a good thing to do. ;-) 

Seems most are happy with refilling so far.
