I just bought a HO5 black cartridge from PC World that is sold as being
compatible with my HP 950c, but when I fitted it, I got the blinking light
and the "not compatible" message. Is there anything I can try, or is a trip
back to PC World?

Thanks,
Ian

I suspect they have sold you the wrong cartridge (maybe incorrectly labelled, I
have seen that once or twice). You could try to clean the contacts on the back
of the cartridge but if it was mine I would take it back.

Not necessarily. See:
http://www.hp.com/sbso/product/supplies/supplies_reliability_ink.pdf. I have
also seen similar tests for Epson although I have lost the link. the bottom
line - the OEM cartridges were much more reliable than the alternatives.

Thanks, Tony - seems it was faulty - I took it back and exchanged it for
another, which is fine.

Fair enough Bob
I was speaking from my own experience and have not done any external research.
I certainly see lots of failed OEM cartridges (not necessarily HP).

He is probably right but Tony da Tiger does not want to here this
because he sells the aftermarket junk.

Just looked at the report, it's a little old but well done, is there a more
recent analysis that you know of? My views stated above have been developed
over the past 6 months (the period that we have kept data on failed new
cartridges, we did this because we were getting what seemed to be a higher
number of failures than before across the board). If HP cartridges are more
reliable than compatibles we would have to take that into serious consideration
when choosing our suppliers.
