Can't you just disable this Genuine cartridge check in advanced settings in HP Smart? We have a similar menu on hp laserjet pro ml203dn, and we just disabled the fake cartridge check. Hence, we are using third party toner which is 4 times cheaper, with 9nly issue so far being printer warning about low toner level way before it needs to, but otherwise printing despite warnings
Pro tip: insert empty syringe into cartridge first and pull the plunger up to create a vacuum inside the cartridge, you should then be able to inject the new ink much easier with less mess! Hope this helps everyone! 😊
A HUGE THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS ON YOU TUBE! I COUDN'T AGREE MORE ABOUT HP's price gouge ink scam. I refuse to pay their outrageous prices for ink. They also block 3rd party cartridges when their printers are updated, so make sure to not update, and disable updates if using other cartridges. It's a huge hassles to reset some printers.
I've been refilling my old Brother printer for 11 years and still have not replaced the cartridges. Two tips: 1. Figure out how much ink you need by SLOWLY refilling till you get a tiny bit leaking out. After that, just use one ml less. 2. No one mentions this, but the ink is water soluble. I do this in my laundry room sink with hot water running and plenty of paper towels. Now that I'm good at it I never have any leaks or accidents anymore. Always use rubber gloves, of course. Since it's water soluble, you can clean the syringes by drawing hot water in and out and flushing them until they are completely clear. This works great trust me. Follow all the other directions watch a few more videos there's a good one about priming and drawing the air up out of the empty cartridge. There's plenty to learn, but it does work and I must've saved hundreds and hundreds of refilling. I think I paid 20 bucks for my kit and haven't used it all yet.
Thank you for this valuable information. HP is a really big scam. I just canceled my subscription, and they told me that I cannot you the 4 filled cartridges that are installed in the printer and that I have to buy new ones from the story. I got a message in the printer that I could not print any page. This company is a big scam and needs to be exposed because to their practices.
Syringe tip: When you've finished with a syringe you will use again, but maybe not for a good while store with the plunger pulled out a quarter inch from fully in. When you come to use it, just push it fully home to get it moving. Sometimes the seal sticks in the barrel and will detach from the plunger when pulled..
It’s hilarious the gov is suing Apple for $20b for increasing price of iPhones but turn a blind eye at this printer scam that’s been running for a few decades.
I'm glad you mentioned marking your cartridges A B, etc for switching them out... I refilled my cartridges A and popped them back in the machine. The printer prints fine but I have an error message stating used or remanufactured cartridges detected. I thought about switching the A cartridges out with the still sealed package HP cartridges (B) and then reinstalling the A cartridges later, but since I'll know when my ink is getting low, simply by seeing cruddy printing, I'll know to pop the B's in. Since I have to replace my cartridges every 3 months, I should have plenty of bottled ink for a few years. Thank you!
Just came across your video today. I did the same thing with my old HP. It wasn't as advanced (Stupid) as your printer. It had a 2 cartridge memory for each colour. So I had 3 cartridges which I switched around - numbered 1, 2 and 3. When cartridge 1 and 2 were empty (of the same colour) I just had to install cartridge 3 and the printer would accept the cartridge. No stupid questions or anything 🙂
Great video, but… you should have scrolled down at timestamp 8:31 to answer the question”yes/no” about a new or used/counterfeit cartridge. I don’t have 2 sets of cartridges (yet) so I am periodically refilling the cartridges as I go. But to be sure, your video is AWESOME for a getaround for these expensive cartridges.
For some printers you might even need 3 to 5 cartridge sets, since they remember the last 2 to 4 used cartridges. No need to refill all of them though. Just re-install the old (empty) cartridges one after another (turn printer off-on between changes). Then re-install the refilled one. To "fool" the printer you best use original cartridges, since non OEM cartridges often have the same, limited, range of serial numbers, so there is a fair chance you will have duplicate serial numbers and so this trick might not work.
@@julianweiser9985 This right here is why I bought an Epson Eco-Tank. 15 years worth of ink in the box for a home user like myself. I could throw it away and buy a new one when it runs out of ink and still feel like I got a bargain.
I bought refillable cartridges from AliExpress for my canon pro9000 mark Ii printer after some time my printer didn't recognize some cartridges now I Throw it away 😕😢
Excellent explanation that they've pre-programmed the printer NOT to accept the last used cartridge hence your 'work around' A and B swap out...thank you. Not ready for the messy job but getting there...they're charging extortion high prices for simple ink - license to rip you off.
Honestly I don't print that often, only a few pages a year, so I quit buying ink and just started doing my printing at FedEx. It's annoying because I have to drive 15 minutes to get there and back but it's worth it.
Hahaha lol if you only print a few pages a year it's cheapest to just own a 50$ printer and buy a set of cartridges every 4 years or using the cheapest instant ink subscription
This is probably my plan when my current printer dies or I get fed up with the ink nonsense. I barely use it and dropping $78 for a new set of cartridges is dumb as hell.
How many people were on the way to the store to buy another ink cartridges, yet gave this a thought and you’re here watching this video?? 😂 Now your going to Amazon to buy the refills instead 😅😂🎉
Another important tip: Be very careful with the bottom part of the cartridge, as it is quite easy to damage the print-head, ruining an othewrwise perfect cartridge, forcing you to buy a new one, just for a working print-head. (Hard lesson to learn...)
thanks very much bro i just got this printer but the cartidges are very expensive so i bought this ink how many papers i can print if i refilled all the inks ? and 100 ml can refill all the ink cartidge or just partially ?
After fighting my own printer battles HP 8920), the conclusion is NEVER to let them get DEPLETED. The ink level screen will ALWAYS show low, but all bets are off if they get depleted. Plus, it’s a sure bet your warranty is gonna be trash, even if they still honor them.
Hello Christopher, I have the HP Office Jet Pro 9018e, and the Cartridge depleted display is on for both the Cyan and Yellow Cartridges. I went ahead and purchased the JETSIR 4-color refill kit from Amazon. Based on the video the second set of cartridges is needed as I was going to try and fill the original ones by turning on and off the printer. BTW I bolted down to Staples to grab a quick replacement set before finding & watching your video and got sticker shock on the 962XL 4 color which was $122.99 before tax and roughly $132.00 OTD I thought thank goodness there were not like French fries with choices coming in sizes small, medium, or large. Sir the large box is $199. Thank you Christopher for the Video and if you have anything else you would like to add please do.
When you install Epson cartridges it sets a timer going to estimate how many days printing you will be likely to do. I do not print things out ver much at all (less than 1 document/month) so it always said that one or more of the cartridges were empty when they definitely are almost full. You could buy a device from JR that you could fit some cartridges into securely and with a bit of perseverance fit other cartridges securely enough to allow the zapper to work. This would reset the timer. I bought one of those continuous ink systems for it but you had to remove the lid from the cartridge slot and my printer didn’t recognise the continuous ink cartridge as being fitted. I no longer use that printer even though I have refills and cartridges .The yellow head seems to be completely blocked even with new refill you can’t see anything and you need to do a few test prints to get the others to print consistently.if you do print quite a bit though the Zapper did work if you can still get them. I think the printer was an r285 which had an adapter so you could print on suitable CD/DVDs. I now use an HP mono laser printer which is quick and I think the toner doesn’t dry out and lasts longer than ink. I also have an older mono laser printer. It isn’t supported after Windows XP but I have found an old pc and an XP installation disc so I will use that.
@@markfesenk0 Why so many updates? Epson, for one, uses that firmware update to invalidate third party ink cartridges, one model at a time. They figured out how to hurt the consumer in the most efficient possible manner. Many 3rd parties have paid the license and STILL, Epson cancels their products via “firmware updates.” It is criminal and I expect they will pay some enormous fine eventually. When you think about it, why would a printer ever need a firmware update? This is why.
@@markfesenk0 Printer manufacturers use those firmware updates to add to their list of 3rd party inks the printer will refuse to use. The worst ones - hello Epson - even use firmware updates to deny inks that have been licensed previously. There is literally no legitimate reason to ‘update’ a printer.
Chris. Thank you for the video! Now I see why I just buy cartridges. I don’t have the patience to do what you did to refill a cartridge and run the hp software gauntlet.
That is a great video. Thanks. I wonder if you replaced the refilled cartridges and then as a last step completely uninstalled the printer and drivers if that would work. There would probably still be a single file left after everything else was removed. Look for it and delete it as well because that is the file that would have the cartridge notifications to try and trick you even if you go through all those steps. But somehow you have to get or burn a hard copy of the driver software. I don't know if such a thing is even possible. I never connect my printers directly to the internet. I think the IOT is a completely insidious invasion of privacy and a hacking vulnerability.
Thanks - so in other words it can be messy! What is the shape on the front of those syringe needle? Has it been blunted? I have bunch of new carts for other printers that I want to use so will go buy a syringe.
Be sure to get a slightly used model that's still in good condition. But try to find one that uses more generic older drivers. Do not ever load new drivers or buy a new printer. Eventually, we won't be able to buy good used printers, but try as long as possible. Hp links the hardware with new drivers that disable the printer if you try to refill the cartridges.
I have contacted a few professionals and they told me to refill these cartridges when they show you a low ink level. You have to do it immediately or they are done for.
Yup. I am doing the same thing. I’m sure they have corrected the software to recognize the “A-B” method. Of course, nothing like a hard reboot for your printer! 😊
Don’t be conned by the ‘recycling’ scam that is for fools it’s MONEY they are all about there image maybe all about ‘green recycling’ but that’s for the stupid people!
Yes I'm having the same problem with my cannon ts3522 and I sent 100 dollars on it and the ink runs out in a week I truly only get about 20 prints and that's with only 3 or four pictures
Canon had a great printer the Pixma IP 1000. Very easy to refill the cartridge and it has no sensor so it can't tell if it's counterfit or not. Too bad I had no idea about the ink waste pad. If I did I would have drilled a hole at the back for draining excess ink. If that waste pad sensor is triggered it will tell you it's full and it will lock out your printer you have to take it to a repair center so they can reset it.
When I buy a printer, I never use it online or upgrade it. I make sure I don't get one with cloud service either, keeping it offline ensures I will not be updated from the original factory settings, beyond my own personal settings. I also have an eco-tank Epson, I never use HP or Canon.
Does it have to be fully depleted or can it almost be fully depleted with a warning sign? I tried to run out of the ink intentionally but the estimated ink cartige levels won't go down no matter what, even if the prints turns out inkless.
@@NotSo-bp9opHigher cost of entry, yes. But that extra upfront cost is saving you a lot of money and a lot of headache in the long run. If this guy had an EcoTank (for example), he could have bought the same refill kit or similar off Amazon and just poured the bottle right into the tank. No hassle. No syringes. No having to "trick" the printer software to get it to work properly. Simple process. I'll never buy a standard cartridge based system ever again, unless cartridge prices plummet. And even then, it it would still be more hassle than a tank based printer because you would have to buy another cartridge set and/or do this extra long refill process every single time. Tank based is fill and forget for a considerable amount of time.
You told that it remembers the old cartridge so you cant use it again. that means it only remembers the last used cartridge? so you can practically change two cartridges between uses and its okay? what about the chip? is it reusable?
I followed the instructions... refilled original HP 910 Cartridges (HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e)... the refilling process worked out fine, kept printing normally... but 2 weeks later, Printer doesn't let me print anymore and is showing the following message: 'CARTRIDGES REJECTED - The indicated cartridges have been recently identified as used or counterfeit". Is there a way to print with refilled Cartridges with this Printer?
My HP9025e is still stuck at "depleted cartridges must be replaced…" on yellow when it is full. Not sure how to get past this because it won't print yet
Been doing it for a year. It always shows “low”, but keeping an eye on it so it doesn’t get to “depleted” is working for me. 4 black ink refills so far on my 8020. 👍🏻
I refilled when near empty but not empty. I printed and it went fine. then it informed me that it was empty. It printed white papers since. I then did like the last in your video and it went and shut off my printer and now the printer does the same thing over and over again goes on you see the line and dots from left to right and shuts itself off again.
Looks like they may have updated the firmware. I am not able to locate the HP Smart that allows you indicate it is a used cartridge. Can no longer replace it with a refill. PLEASE HELP!
This is for Envy 7640 with a 62 cartridge: You can try this but I cannot guarantee it will work: Locate the reset button on top, it's an indented circle and press with a pointed object (but don't puncture) for about 10 to 15 seconds... it sometimes works...
@@tigerlilly6895 I actually RESET to factory and restarted as if the cartridges came with the printer. I still recognized it as a refill and it is show it's empty HOWEVER it is allowing me to use it. I WILL be trying your suggestion next time. Almost out of another color. Thank you tiger for taking the time to share.
I realized something else today when I refilled and it wasn't printing right. I always clean off the cartridge very well before putting back but I realized the pins inside the printer when the cartridge lines up had some ink on them so I used a qtip to clean and it worked just fine. Hope that helps.
This is insanity. A friend gave me an HP inkjet printer like yours and it was maddening to try to change the language from Russian to English, nothing in the PDF manual about that, had to do deep search on TH-cam to finally find the solution. Then configuring the printer via bluetooth to my Mac was another nightmare. Gave up, wrapped up the printer and will give it away to someone. Bought a Brother laser printer which works great. I hate HP.
That's a great question. I bought a type of printer ink that has very thin nozzles on the bottles and mililiter markings on the sides of each bottle. Seems to take, as he says, about 19 ml. of ink per color cartridge.
Why doesn't someone simply start a company that makes printers that they sell for more money without the ink scam? They'd instantly put all the others out of business.
For my Canon cartridge I had to drill a hole in the top to refill. I just cover it with electrical tape. Works great. Been using the same cartridge for over a year, printing daily.
😅the HP we had would not accept the ink we used it said that it was not genuine HP ink there was no way to get it to print or give us any options. Had to buy new cartridges
Fill them when they are still 1/2 or 1/4 full. If the printer doesn't set a flag that the cartridges are empty, then you won't need multiple sets to defeat the "used or counterfeit" message. This is just a question that occurred to me during the video. I've not tried it, but seems like it could be a solution. Has anyone tried it?
The printer doesnt actually check the ink level in the cartridge. It just assumes it will be empty after set amount of printed pages. So even by refilling it midway it will still show up as empty after some time.
@@MrPauls40and you can't print anymore then? Because after refilling and all the messages it also says the cartridges are empty and you are still able to print
It works not letting them deplete! Fill periodically. Of course they always show “low”, but it works. “Depleted” means the jig is up for that cartridge.
Boy o boy, what a damn racket... Can you explain why you need the extra empty cartridges? How does the damn printer know you put the same cartridges back in?
The carts have a (smart card) similar to your SIM card, it stores information (among other things) about how it’s used when it was used and if it was originally depleted or not. So you’re paying for this technology not for the ink.

this video is money saver, thank you
Yes I'm having the same problem with my cannon ts3522 and I sent 100 dollars on it and the ink runs out in a week I truly only get about 20 prints and that's with only 3 or four pictures
Where did you buy them ink bottles from? I need this because I got the same printer
If somebody could create a chip modifier, or figure out how to modify the chips to change the page count, that would be by far the easiest way
How do you know when it's full? You cut out that part.
I need to know if this is the same process for 964XL HP cartridges. Thanks!
Canon had a great printer the Pixma IP 1000. Very easy to refill the cartridge and it has no sensor so it can't tell if it's counterfit or not. Too bad I had no idea about the ink waste pad. If I did I would have drilled a hole at the back for draining excess ink. If that waste pad sensor is triggered it will tell you it's full and it will lock out your printer you have to take it to a repair center so they can reset it.
All good thill they program the chips in these things to only allow for a certain number of prints. Then it won't matter.
Might already be the case
Canon tank printer G7020. Still using the ink that came with the printer when we bought it 3 years ago. Came with two sets of ink.
When I buy a printer, I never use it online or upgrade it. I make sure I don't get one with cloud service either, keeping it offline ensures I will not be updated from the original factory settings, beyond my own personal settings. I also have an eco-tank Epson, I never use HP or Canon.
Does it have to be fully depleted or can it almost be fully depleted with a warning sign? I tried to run out of the ink intentionally but the estimated ink cartige levels won't go down no matter what, even if the prints turns out inkless.
SPOT ON
Do you know maybe if I can do the same mine doesn't have the touch screen though
This video demonstrates why you should buy a tank based printer: no hoops and no blue fingers.
Aren't tank based printers higher in price? Like $200+? This method might save you that $100 or so markup for tank based printers.
@@NotSo-bp9opHigher cost of entry, yes. But that extra upfront cost is saving you a lot of money and a lot of headache in the long run. If this guy had an EcoTank (for example), he could have bought the same refill kit or similar off Amazon and just poured the bottle right into the tank. No hassle. No syringes. No having to "trick" the printer software to get it to work properly. Simple process. I'll never buy a standard cartridge based system ever again, unless cartridge prices plummet. And even then, it it would still be more hassle than a tank based printer because you would have to buy another cartridge set and/or do this extra long refill process every single time. Tank based is fill and forget for a considerable amount of time.
You told that it remembers the old cartridge so you cant use it again. that means it only remembers the last used cartridge? so you can practically change two cartridges between uses and its okay? what about the chip? is it reusable?
Just keep 2 sets & keep swapping them. That’s it. Don’t refill the current cartridge in use.
Some (newer) printers remember the last 2 to 4 cartridges. (See my other comment for some hints.)
@@syedali9383and why not refilling when it still has like 20-40% left?
@@syedali9383does this trick not work with only 1 set? Do they lock you out of your printer then?
It's amazing what lengths they go to steal from the public, how much does making the item know the cartridges are old add to the cost of the product.
It's because the printers cost more then they sell for so they have to earn money somewhere but it's still expensive as heck
Yeah cartridges with chips. Where have we gone in this world
Thank you so much for your help
May 2024 here.
Hi Can you show how to refill this printer model? HP OfficeJet Pro 8120e
Does this trick work after participating in the instant ink program for 6 months?
I followed the instructions... refilled original HP 910 Cartridges (HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e)... the refilling process worked out fine, kept printing normally... but 2 weeks later, Printer doesn't let me print anymore and is showing the following message: 'CARTRIDGES REJECTED - The indicated cartridges have been recently identified as used or counterfeit". Is there a way to print with refilled Cartridges with this Printer?
Hello..can i use this method on hp catridge 955
My HP9025e is still stuck at "depleted cartridges must be replaced…" on yellow when it is full. Not sure how to get past this because it won't print yet
What if you refill the cartridge before it's completely empty? Like when they get down a half?
Yeah I also thought that would be better
Have you tried this? Did it work??
Been doing it for a year. It always shows “low”, but keeping an eye on it so it doesn’t get to “depleted” is working for me. 4 black ink refills so far on my 8020. 👍🏻
Interesting and thanks.
i am not sure if hp would even be able to enforce the warranty unless they have a lab to test the ink or see a refilled cartridge.
I've been trying with the refill process on an other printer, but I had a lot of leakage, and bad printing results. What am I doing wrong?
Can you link the ink you used? Thanks.
Hi, can you refill the HP office jet Pro9120 cartridge?
Does this procedure work with other brand name?
I refilled when near empty but not empty. I printed and it went fine. then it informed me that it was empty. It printed white papers since. I then did like the last in your video and it went and shut off my printer and now the printer does the same thing over and over again goes on you see the line and dots from left to right and shuts itself off again.
THANK YOU
Helpful video!
I don't have an extra cartridge can I just refill the one in it
In New Zealand we pay $50 per ink cartridge.
Well gee whiz, I’m moving to New Zealand!
Looks like they may have updated the firmware. I am not able to locate the HP Smart that allows you indicate it is a used cartridge. Can no longer replace it with a refill. PLEASE HELP!
This is for Envy 7640 with a 62 cartridge: You can try this but I cannot guarantee it will work: Locate the reset button on top, it's an indented circle and press with a pointed object (but don't puncture) for about 10 to 15 seconds... it sometimes works...
@@tigerlilly6895 I actually RESET to factory and restarted as if the cartridges came with the printer. I still recognized it as a refill and it is show it's empty HOWEVER it is allowing me to use it. I WILL be trying your suggestion next time. Almost out of another color. Thank you tiger for taking the time to share.
@@1AcreHomestead For me it works at least a few times... Try different amounts of holding it down, 10 seconds, 12 seconds, 15 seconds...
I realized something else today when I refilled and it wasn't printing right. I always clean off the cartridge very well before putting back but I realized the pins inside the printer when the cartridge lines up had some ink on them so I used a qtip to clean and it worked just fine. Hope that helps.
@@tigerlilly6895 It does!!!!! Thank you!
can i refill my "refill ink into hp 1255" or is this not refillable?
Thanks so much! 😎 4:05
Mine wont read what should i do it says the are empty?
This is insanity. A friend gave me an HP inkjet printer like yours and it was maddening to try to change the language from Russian to English, nothing in the PDF manual about that, had to do deep search on TH-cam to finally find the solution. Then configuring the printer via bluetooth to my Mac was another nightmare. Gave up, wrapped up the printer and will give it away to someone. Bought a Brother laser printer which works great. I hate HP.
thank you for info
How do you know when it’s full ?
That's a great question. I bought a type of printer ink that has very thin nozzles on the bottles and mililiter markings on the sides of each bottle. Seems to take, as he says, about 19 ml. of ink per color cartridge.
I think by the weight of the cartridge
when it spills lol.
When it starts to drip from the round mesh connection. Don’t blast it in, be easy until a drop or 2 comes out.
Wish there was a solution to expensive color laser toner cartridges.
Ditch the cartridges and get an ecotank. You'll save hundreds of dollars.
Should weigh a newly bought cartridge too.
Pro-tip here: DO NOT buy HP at all, mever! Buy Epson EcoTank printer and forget about that shitty scum.
Why doesn't someone simply start a company that makes printers that they sell for more money without the ink scam? They'd instantly put all the others out of business.
Epsom Eco-printers
Those rip you off a with the bleeder in the back getting full and breaking the whole unit@@johnstarkie9948
I doubt the morally corrupt printing cartel would sit idly by while someone moved in on their turf.
That's called a tank printer
Thank you!
THANK YOU.. THANK YOU... THANK YOU!!!!
HP and all the other printer manufacturers should have gotten their asses sued off for pulling this shit.
Can this work with Canon cartridges?
For my Canon cartridge I had to drill a hole in the top to refill. I just cover it with electrical tape. Works great. Been using the same cartridge for over a year, printing daily.
😅the HP we had would not accept the ink we used it said that it was not genuine HP ink there was no way to get it to print or give us any options. Had to buy new cartridges
Thanks!
Canon User : Press Stop and we good to go 😂
Thanks
Fill them when they are still 1/2 or 1/4 full. If the printer doesn't set a flag that the cartridges are empty, then you won't need multiple sets to defeat the "used or counterfeit" message.
This is just a question that occurred to me during the video. I've not tried it, but seems like it could be a solution. Has anyone tried it?
The printer doesnt actually check the ink level in the cartridge. It just assumes it will be empty after set amount of printed pages. So even by refilling it midway it will still show up as empty after some time.
@@MrPauls40and you can't print anymore then? Because after refilling and all the messages it also says the cartridges are empty and you are still able to print
@@xruud24 It might depend on printer model, but mine just straight up refuses to pull ink from a cartridge once it has been flagged as empty.
It works not letting them deplete! Fill periodically. Of course they always show “low”, but it works. “Depleted” means the jig is up for that cartridge.
It would be interesting to see how many cartridges it would take to fill a gallon jug. I bet we would be paying a few thousand for a gallon.
Absolutely! And left with a load of scrap plastic. These companies should be fined for creating so much waste yet the consumers get the blame!
Boy o boy, what a damn racket... Can you explain why you need the extra empty cartridges? How does the damn printer know you put the same cartridges back in?
The carts have a (smart card) similar to your SIM card, it stores information (among other things) about how it’s used when it was used and if it was originally depleted or not. So you’re paying for this technology not for the ink.
Software tracks the UNIVERSE. Nothing is hidden. We have the illusion of privacy.
Thank u do much
