Resetting ink levels
in HP printers with HP 57 cartridges |
- Put tape over Contact #1 as shown in the picture to the
left. Place the cartridge back into the printer with the
tape still stuck onto the cartridge.
- The printer will print out an alignment page. Once this
has completed, continue down to Step 3.
- After the printer has completed printing off the alignment
page, open the cover, remove the cartridge and place a piece
of tape over Contact #2 as shown in the picture to the left.
- Put the cartridge back into the printer. The printer
will print off another alignment page. After this page has
been printed, remove the cartridge from the printer, remove
all tape from both Contact #1 and #2. Reinsert the cartridge
back into the printer. Ink levels should now read full.
- If the process does not work for you, make sure that
no adhesive was left stuck to the contacts on the cartridge.
Any residue will keep the cartridge from working properly
and may cause the cartridge not to be recognized by the
printer at all. You may also try following the instructions
