    HP Photosmart C4180 All-in-One Colour Ink-jet

    i have one of these printers

    Hidden Content

    it does work great but unless you catch the cartridge before it runs out your ok, fairly easy to monitor the colour cartridge as one colour will fade first and is a sure sign the cart is running low

    but the black cart will just print and then stop so no warnings, as i refill them the ink levers never match the real levels Hidden Content

    well every time the cart runs out, or dries up the onboard chip marks the cart as empty and even refilling it wont work

    i know you can get a reset Eeprom chip for printers, but so far can only find toner reset chips

    any ideas? apart from the obvious Hidden Content "buy a new cart and refill once a month"

    the alternative is to buy a very basic printer with no electronic settings so the carts arnt monitored and you just refill at your leisure

    thanks for any input ;(
