I had some refilled yesterday and they seem to work fine. Twice before I
brought in cartridges that they were unable to refill for whatever
reason, so I brought those to Cartridge World.

Good price, depending on how much ink they hold. Last time I checked,
Walgreen was excluding the big HP carts that I use. The #45 holds 42
mls of ink. Oh, now I recall that they were refilling some and short
filling them.
There are some quirks in the refilling process that can cause them not
to work. The itinerant help they may have might not be up on them. At
least they were honest and did not give you a dud back.
Ink is cheap. One can afford to practice and get the process down on
the carts you use. Then you never have to leave home for ink.

Are the refills (money back) guaranteed to work? I tried that a few
years back and the printer (HP) would not recognize the refilled
cartridge (not at Walgreens).

Yes. Just be sure to try them right away.

There are often some printer settings you can mess with to make the
printer work with the refilled cartridges. The problem is the chip in
some cartridges that sets a flag if the ink level ever goes up, rather
than down. Some places replace that chip.

Actually the deal I posted isn't as good as the deal starting Sunday.

If the refill is successful and works in your printer you're home free.
If it doesn't work there's always Cartridge World which has a better
success rate (actually I'm not sure of their success rate since usually
they just hand you a replacement cartridge when they take yours kind of
like exchanging propane tanks).
