I bought this ink cartridge yesterday in Winter Haven at a Staples. Today I proceed to replace the old one and go to print. The printer prints the letter with an extra margin on the left. I research the topic and find out that theink cartridge is faulty and I will be unable to return it to the store for a replacement because I opened the package. I just want to print some letters. Not a big thing. I can't print with a faulty ink Cartridges. 😫
