My husband has already refilled the cartridge a couple times before. Now I cannot find the instructions for refilling HP 21 cartrige and he is out of town.
Can someone send me a scan copy or give me directions to refill?

look my advice is to NOT refill. This all too often makes the printer "Muck Up" and wrecks it. The cost you think you will save will be offset by repair costs and headaches. as much as it may gall all of us, buying the "original" cartridges. I know it sux huh. Especially for HP.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Only buy genuine Lexmark printer cartridges. If you go cheap & buy a generic refill, it will leak and gum up your printer. It will destroy your printer.
After getting the new cartridge, you simply pop out the old cartridge and pop in the new one.
The ink level indicator is only an estimate to give you an idea when it's time to buy a new cartridge. You cannot reset the ink level indicator so simply ignore it if you refill your cartridges. See pg 72 of the user manual which you can get here:

many printer manufacturers put something (a chip?) in the circuit of the cartridge to prevent refilled ones from being recognized by the printer....when the "factory" cartridge is empty, the only way for the printer to see a full cartridge again is by using a "new" factory one, ...i guess it's the big name brands way of making sure you buy "their" ink and not use refulls.
There are a couple ways to trick it into accepting the cartridge. You can put a different one in, take it out and then put the filled one in. Or you can find a refill kit with instructions on what contacts to cover with tape and you have to do it 2 or 3 times to get the printer to reset. Sometimes you can shut off the computer and printer for 20 min and start it up again. Or you can get the sledge hammer and smash the stupid printer before it sucks up your life savings and vow never to buy from a company that profits from causing problems that they tell you can only be solved by using more of their overpriced solutions.
take the cartraige out and put a piece of tape on the ink pads where the ink comes out. then peel it off and pop it in. It should recignize the cartrige as full. If not then don't sweat it. You do have ink in the carrtridge and it will work. You will just have to watch for it running low. You can tel by the quality of thr print when you are running low.
