the front of the machine. The removable part of the tray is just that

a paper tray. It's a shame

that HP didn't make it more durable. In my opinion, it makes the printer seem

less than it is.

The C7115A cartridge looks like a small version of the 96A cartridge. Once you get it apart, it is

very simple to recycle. I say once you get it apart because, like the 96A and 27x cartridges, there

are pins holding the two halves together. Unlike those cartridges, the inside of the pinhole on the

C7115A is sealed, making it difficult to remove the pins. While this cartridge does not have a chip

to make our lives tougher, this pin system certainly will.

We have found two ways to remove the pins in these cartridges. Both involve some destruction of

the cartridge shell. We will keep you posted on any new developments on the pin removal

procedure.

Method 1: Carefully knock the pins in. This will cause at least some damage, which will be very

ifficult to control until you get a feel for it. Try to push the pins in just far enough so that the two

halves come apart. If you push them in too far, the outside of the shell will break and the PCR

holder also may be damaged. See Figures 1 and 2.

Method 2: Drill a shallow hole on each side of the cartridge, as indicated by Figures 3 and 4.

Push the pins out with an Allen wrench. Although this method also causes damage, you control

how much there will be. This method is also safer for the PCR holder.
