nk Levels Reset for HP Cartridges HP21,

HP27, HP56, HP58



This reset methods be used to reset ink levels on HP printer that using cartridges HP21,
HP27, HP56 and HP58 (On most models). I have tested this reset methods on HP
Deskjet 2466 and work perfectly but in other HP printer types this reset methods does
not work.
To do this reset methods no software resetter required, just require only a piece of tape.
If this reset method does not work on your printer you will need to repeat this process. If
you have to reattempt the reset turn your computer off before doing so. Leave computer
off during the reset process or disconnected the printer from computer.
Here the Ink levels reset methode for HP cartridges HP21, hp27, hp56 and HP58:
1. Remove cartridge from your printer.
2. Place a piece of tape over the top left contact as
shown in red on the picture to the right.
3. With the tape covering the contact place cartridge
back into printer.
4. The printer will perform and alignment page. (Some
newer models no longer print alignment pages. If
printer runs through a series of priming routines and
stops for 20 seconds continue through with next step.)
5. Once an alignment page has been printed remove
cartridge from printer.
6. Place a piece of tape over the second contact shown
in red.
7. Place cartridge into printer with both pieces of tape.
(One covering the first contact and one cover the
second contact.)
8. Printer will print another alignment page. (Some
newer models no longer print alignment pages. If
printer runs through a series of priming routines and stops for 20 seconds
continue through with next step.)
9. Once the second alignment page has been printed remove cartridge from printer.
10. Remove tape pieces from cartridge contacts Make sure there is no residual
adhesive on cartridge contacts.
11. Place cartridge into printer. Cartridge should now read full.
Additional Notes: As stated above it is very important that there is no residual adhesive
on the cartridge contact point. This will make reading the cartridge difficult.
