For all of the people that are complaining about their Epson and Cannon printers.... Did you not read that the main topic of this thread was for a HP printer? The same tecniques may not work for other types of printers.
Unfortunatly, I have 10 expired cartriges and 3 that are defective that were refilled. The one that I had that was new expires today. Sadly since this is a business printer, changing the date is not a viable fix.
I have had cartridge trouble with my CP1700 for years! I have fetched it out of storage because it works with Vista which my Minolta Laser does not. I today bought 4 cartriges (10 BLACK & 11 COLOURS) with auto-reset chips, already filled with good quality German Ink for £17.00 (I couldn't beleive it!) Spent a whole day trying to get them to work, even removed battery. The printer just didn't know they were there. All flagged as "missing". Then I updated the firmware (download from HP site) and bingo! All systems go. Bonus- now that I've removed the battery all my expired HP cartridges work too. You cannot mix the auto reset cartridges with HP. Must install full set which is "very expensive" at £17 for four.
