Logical reset of ink level
I usually fill the cartridge of my HP F380 with compatible ink getting
acceptable results, but I'm faced with the problem of making the printer driver to learn that the ink level is full. The ink provider gives a hw procedure I find very difficult, namely you have to cover with scotchtape two of the header contacts and then to remove the cartridge and put it again in a mandatory sequence, so it is easy to make some mistake. Now I wonder whether there is some sw utility to do it. Till now I get warnings such as "ink is going to be lacking" but maybe will it just stop printing at all? il barbi |

Till now I get warnings such as "ink is going to be lacking" but maybe will it just stop printing at all? It will not stop printing because it thinks the cartridge is empty (or past an expiration date). It will eventually stop printing as the cartridge fails electrically.

It fools the printer somehow into thinking you put different cartridges into it. |
