Hi all;

Sorry for the number of posts lately.  I am trying to work my way
through F9 fixing and tweaking all the little issues that have been
around on my machine for the last 2 - 3 Fedora versions.  I am almost
finished.

I recently had my HP #74 refilled rather than purchasing a new one.  It
works fine but hp-toolbox (and the WindowsXP gui thingie) continues to
tell me that the black cartridge is still "very low".

Does HP have some secret little way of telling I am using a refill and
therefore refuses to acknowledge it?

Yes, they do. The circuitry to detect low levels is on the cartridge itself and it locks at the lowest reading. A long time ago a friend of mine found some software on the net to reset Epson cartridges. You may have to go looking for the same magic for HP.
