I have a dilema here that I hope Virtualdr. can help or direct me with. I have a HP printer photosmart 1215 series and i wanted to save some money from their high priced color cartridges, and had mine refilled at a respectable retail business in which they refilled the same cartrdidge with reputable quality filled ink. The printed materials the cartridge produces is beautiful, and I am very happy with the results. But I find after installing the same cartidge back I still get the 'error message reading that my cartridge was low and I should replace the said cartridge'. I then did some investigation and found this site ,where it said :"All cartridges can be refilled with ink but the ink used must be the correct sort for the cartridge. There is no universal ink for inkjet printers. Print head cartridges are usually worth refilling provided that you get exactly the right ink. If you want to refill your cartridges, it is best to top them up before they run out. (Treat them like the fuel tank in your car.) The very latest cartridges from Hewlett Packard and Epson have chips in them to record the amount of ink used among other things. If the chip says that the cartridge is empty, refilling is useless. I have found an almost new cartridge that suffered from this problem. The chip said it was empty although it was 95% full. There was no way out except to buy another new cartridge to get the printer working again." Upon finding this, It would seem I would never actually know if the cartridge was empty or not, and
buying a new one at $20 more would be the remedy. BUT, I believe there is a trick somewhere on the net that would allow me to 'reset' the chip. .Is this True ????
