inkjet refills
 

I have refilled various inkjet cartridges(HP, Lexmark) to varying
degrees of success. After I reinsert the cartridge, I always get the
low ink message when I try to print. Has anyone figured out how to
reset the printer so it reads the new ink levels?

You're not trying very much to help yourself out. Some answers have
been around for years. Google has answers. This group's archives have
answers. The refill sites have answers. Experimenting would reveal
answers.
Depending on the cart #, there are ways to tape off certain contacts
on the cart and have the printer initialize it as a new cart. Also,
cycling multiple carts in and out will cause the printer to recognize
the next cart in as new. What to do depends on what you have and it
might not work on some newer models.

I can interpret that as varying degrees of failure as well. Success is
factory ink or something that approaches that and so far I have not
discovered that but I keep looking.

I have searched the google groups and the refill sites and found very
little information that I could use. As for experimentation, the
number of combination and permutations is quite large. I counted 27
contacts on the printhead. As for cycling different print cartridges,
I don't have any. I am refilling to save money and help save the
evironment at the same time. So I don't have any spare cartridges
lying around. The cartridges cost almost as much as the printer. The
printers in question are the Lexmark X5470 and the HP 3320. They both
give me the annoying message after refilling. Any info you can give
me would be greatly appreciated.

Refilling is probably not for you if you require such hand holding.
You can always buy refilled carts where someone else did the work and
that would cut costs by 50%. Then you would have extra carts to work
with too. If your refilled carts are working and all you have is the
annoying message, that's pretty good right there. You could live with
it until it won't work and then you still have a dummy to use to fool
the printer when you get a good cart.

I have found instructions on how to reset the HP 3320 ink levels.
However, I have yet to find instructions on how to reset the ink level
warnings on the Lexmark X5470. It would be nice if anyone who reads
my post would be kind enough to print the instructions.

As I understand, Lexmark ink levels are the easiest to reset of all
brands -- it's done in the software.

Why don't you do a search about this?

I did, I did do a research. I did lots of research but nothing has
come up for the Lexmark X5470. My research turned up something for
the HP but not the lexmark. So if anyone has any reset instructions
for this model, they would be greatly appreciated.
