HP ink cartridges refill

Archived from groups: comp.sys.hp.hardware (More info?)

Hi,

I own a HP cp1700 (lovely printer) and I think about refilling the cartridges.
But there is a smartchip in the cartridge which might cause some trouble.
In the sparse information I could find, I read that it won't print after a
certain date. There seems to be no way to reset the chip.
That means that the printer knows the actual date? If so, how?
Any ideas to fool the system?

TIA
Bert
