Reset HP #92 and #93?

[jeff]

Anyone know of a procedure to reset these carts? I've successfully refilled a
#92, but it still shows as almost empty. I had seen some procedures for
resetting some other carts that involved taping over certain parts of the
electrodes, but they excluded these numbers. Any help appreciated.

It is behaving like HP intended it to behave. That is good.

I might be out of date but I've not heard of a reset for the 90 series cart
ink monitor. It sounds like the cart ID is no longer done by seperate
electrodes each bit. The ID is probably sent over a a serial bus on these
carts.

I believe the professional cart refillers rely on the fact that you are
unlikely to ever get your own cart back. eg your printer/computer hasn't
seen that cart ID before so it treats it as a new one and resets the ink
level monitor.

Non disclose what is in the carts. There are not professional refillers.

There is no reset. The cartridge itself knows the ink has been used,
and it does not matter if a cartridge is installed in the same printer
or another (actually, the messaging will be somewhat different). In no
case will a previously depleted cartridge appear as a full cartridge.
On the other hand, the only missing functionality is the low on ink
indicator. The printer will not refuse to print with an "empty"
cartridge.

Jeff, I'm new at this but I bought a refill kit and #92 is not covered.
Which holes do you fill and how much ink do you put in?
It sounds like all we lose are the low ink warnings....well, we didn't have
those a few years ago <grin> Thanks.

Step 3 is incorrect for the 92 cartridge.

Which hole or holes are correct? Also, I put 4 ml in two different holes
even though it seemed they were connected. The reference says 5 ml total.

Use a toothpick - any hole with just empty air behind it is not the
right one. If you turn the cartridge upside down and the ink you just
put in runs right out you are not using the right hole. Personally I
would not remove the label either, as it is there to prevent undue
evaporation of the ink.

Thanks for the help, Bob. Since my cart was not empty when I refilled it, I had
no idea I had used the wrong hole. Guess I would soon have noticed, when the
printing stopped despite having been recently refilled.

It appears that the only correct hole on the #92 is the top hole in the middle.
It's the only one where you can feel a sponge inside, and the other 4 holes do
indeed appear to be empty and not involved, as the ink runs out those holes with
even minimal movement (didn't even bother to turn it upside down).

I just took the top off of an old #92 cart and the only hole with sponge is
the lone hole in the center, top row 12 o'clock. The rest of the space is
undivided and will hold about 15 ml. The sponge will hold maybe 5 ml. The
guy who said any hole is good was right. Just don't overfill and replace
the label or otherwise close the holes and avoid spilling the ink. I'm
still printing on the cart I put 8 ml in the empty space and none in the
sponge hole.

Whatever works for you. The empty space has no fluidic connection to
the nozzles, ink in this area will not contribute to printing.

You're wrong. There obviously is a connection.

That's funny...LMAO

I don't blame you...I got too blunt. Sorry.

I completed my back-engineering this morning with a hammer, pliers &
screwstick on an old #92 cart. With a penknife I took out the one sponge.
Water put in the empty side did not migrate into the sponge side, so I can't
explain how the ink in my case is feeding the sponge side unless the print
head comes into play in some way or another. At any rate, I'm through.
