The ink cartridge for my DeskJet 2545 ran out, so I went to get a new cartridge. Reading the specifications on the HP packages in the store, I found "2545" listed among the compatible models on the 650 ink cartridge. Having installed the cartridge once I got home, it was not recognized by the printer. The only issue I can think of, after having done some research, appears to have something to do with the printer being "Ink Advantage" or not? What is this anyway? Is there seriously two versions of the same printer (2545), which each require different cartridges? If so, this needs to be clearly indicated both on the printer and on the cartridge, otherwise I cannot imagine I am the first or last customer to mistakenly get the 650 cartridge over the 301 cartridge. Since I have already opened the package to the core, I doubt the retailer will take it back, so my question is if there is any way to make it work? It clearly fits inside the printer, so I suppose the problem does not have to do with dimensions. An attempt on HP:s side to sell extra cartridges by misleading its customers with ambiguous labelling? I knew I should have gotten a competitor's laser jet instead.
