I spent an afternoon on the phone and the net with various HP folks but nobody could tell me what an empty 902 cart weighed. Our local Costco no longer refills carts so no more fill lady, fill desk, or HP cart info book. 564XL carts when empty weigh 21 grams (black) and 17 grams (color).

The local Costco cart fill lady burned me a copy of the HP cart weight info page which included full and empty weights in grams for all of the carts that HP was selling at that time (before the 902 came into use). The C6380 used 564 carts (one black, one photo black, and three colors). I just bought an OJ 6958 to replace a C6380 that just died. HP photo paper is great but also not cheap to buy. Once replaced, the ink delivery system starts charging the ink.

Follow the on-screen prompts to replace the ink cartridges. Click the Supplies or Maintenance tab if available. If you need to replace an ink cartridge before it is low or expended, click on the Ink Cartridge Replacement button on the Maintenance tab. Click the Start button and click Devices and Printers, then right-click the icon for the printer and choose Printer Preferences. Whenever I print pix, I weigh my carts to be sure that none run out of ink and spoil a pic with streaking or bad color areas. On a Windows computer, you can often check supply levels through the Control Panel. Meanwhile, I need to know how much a 902 cart weighs. Should I ever go back to refilling printer carts, I'll remember your advice. Thank you, Copier-Pro for the helpful info.
