Exactly my experience with reman cartridges for my HP 6P printer. They seemed 
to be fine but my first 6P only printed about 115,000 pages before it began 
failing miserably, constantly giving me headaches, the one I have now is at 
329,627 pages and I have used only original HP cartriges, I have replaced 1 
fuser rolls and it is still a very fine and strong printer!
