Reset the ink cartridge page counter on HP Photosmart Plus printer

How to reset the page counter chips in the ink carts on a HP Photosmart printer?

You can't, but some say that the printer only keeps track of the last two cartridge serial numbers, so if you have three and keep then rotated you are fine.

Please reread my first post. This is only an issue if you try to refill your own cartridge, and it is moot if you purchase a refilled cartridge that has not yet been in your printer.

Hi Phil,
OK on the diferent serial number. The next issue is: What if the next cart. is one that you have previously used? Does the printer see it as "NEW"????
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Phil,
I'm gonna just buy a different printer. I really haven't cared for HP units. I've had 2 of them.
I have been looking at a Lazer unit and it isn't that much more than the HP I have and I like the clearity of the print. I don't need color so, there ya go....

Hi Phil,
This is the first and last printer from HP that I will buy. The cartridge issue is the main reason. We have 3 EPSON printers and I can refill the ink and reset the level indicators (page counters). Having to keep running to town, (34 miles round trip) for a new cartridge(s) is for the birds.
The Laser Jet printer is looking better all the time and there are re-fill kits for them.
I hope HP changes their ways and re-designs the page counter(s) to be reset.

Hi all,
Our refill center is 34 miles round trip and with not getting the quanity of prints I was told I would get from Office Max where I dought it, this printer is NOT a very cost effective unit.
I'm just gonna write it up to a learning curve and get a better quality unit that can be refilled at home.
Thanks all,
Dave

HP I assume don't let you reset the counter as like anything the cartridges are subject to wear and tear giving them a limited lifespan?

You can buy both new and original cartridges online really cheap nowadays so in my mind that just makes more sense than refilling at home. HP actually sell their cartridges online at findmysuppliesbut at a lot lower prices than in the shops and there are plenty of places that sell refilled ones.

I donated the printer to the Goodwill...Maybe someone who gets it will use it for a boat anchor or a door stop. I have ordered a Lazer printer which will be here in 2 weeks.
Thank's all for your input.
Dave
