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? |

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 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. |

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. |

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? Richard 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. |
