How do you get the printer to recognize and accept the refilled cartridge? I have an HP Photosmart 5512 printer....

I have a Canon, and didn't have a problem. Maybe try googling your problem, someone probably has a solution already out there.

I have a HP 8150 and it recognizes the cartridge but it doesn't recognize it as full. I just hit "OK" and move on. It prints fine with it anyway.

I am not sure don't have H.P. I always refill when it says low ink. sometimes I take an old used cart. and fill it for mine let it set for about 6 hours then put it in. I am using a Kodak now. Its tricky on some printer.

The unit that fits inside your printer should have a reset button on the front...mine is white and square. After you click this, go to your program and click on the button that sets up the new cartiage....mine works after I do this.In fact, before my ink runs down a little bit, the printer program wants to say it is empty and all I do is reset it and reset the printer. These programs are assigned, I think to recognize using x amount of ink even when it is not empty. Even the cartiages you use, it says they are empty when in fact there is 20% ink still available. Stupid companies! The unit that fits inside your printer should have a reset button on the front...mine is white and square.

You can try reset your printer by restarting your computer and your printer. You may also need to reinstall the drivers or install a new updated driver

some times the printer wont recognize a refiled cartridge. there is a chance that you may have caused damage to the contact strip. you have to be very careful when refilling the cartridge ,you should find some noe that know how to fill them to show you.

My hp 3100 does it self. I did have one cartridge that I think I overfilled. that I could not get to work again.I would try restart and try sucking a few drops out. I now fill til I see a drop then pull back a little. You can try cleaning it also, nut I think putting too much in messes them up permanently. You may mess one up now and then, but when you get the hang of it, you will save a fortune, if you print as much as I do. I make my own fliers for my small business.

I can put a piece of tape over the refill hole for my HP and it will think it's a genuine cartridge again.

I suggest you scroll down below the product and check the list to see if your printer's model is listed there and if it does then I would say buy it. You can't go wrong with this offer even if you only get a couple of refills from the HP cartridge. I've refilled my cartridges so many times for HP Photosmart C4680 that the cartridge I think is very worn so now I have to get a new one and as soon as it is done I will go back to refilling again. You can't go wrong with this deal at all. Blessings!

You need a special cartridge made for your model of printer. Stores sell use only once cartridges made for your model only! There is a computer chip in every cartridge that is made that prevents their reuse. Cartridges that can be refilled all have a re-settable chip & say so in their advertisements.

I had the same problem. My HP printer is prrogrammed to recognize generic cartridges and it refuses to work. I followed the instructions to remedy but it didn't work. They did refund my $. You know Amazon censors negative reviewsof products. Happened to me. It makes me very wary of trusting reviews. For example why is this company still selling cartridges that do not work?!

You remove cartridges and pop the head out. Pop the new one back in. Changing is easy; getting the printer to recognize it was the difficult part. Then after it finally recognized the print head I had trouble getting it to recognize the cartridges.carteidges were HP and brand new. I received an instruction sheet and even more details are on the HP website.

It worked for me... make sure that it is seated properly, and installed in the black and white side not the color side. Also make sure that it clicks into place, and that your cover is closed properly. Maybe restart the printer. This is not a remanufactured cartridge to my knowledge, so it should work.

I'd check with HP. But just to warn you....one of the remanufactured cartridges from this company "exploded" in my printer shortly after installing. If you read other reviews you will see this was not an isolated incident.

why won't my hp 6500 print in black? It is a new cartridge that worked previously. I've tried taking out all the cartriges and cleaning them...turning it off and on...unplugging it etc... Any suggestions?

I found out the HP printers have a code built in them that keeps you from being able to get them to work by refilling them, you would have to de-code that before trying it, if a repair can do this it should work. There are no instruction except what I have learned. You can try making a whole in top of the ink cartridge 1/16 drill bit then inject with a needle, only inject 1 cc don't over fill, if it don't work, it may have a code built in.

Search google for how to refill (list your cartridge) there should be instructions.

Heh heh, is the cartridge a genuine Lexmark product? Because the literature says that Lexmark is all you can use. If it is a Lexmark, but just aged, then you might be able to talk them into a replacement. If it's not a Lexmark product, then it sounds like the printer is rejecting it, and i don't know how to tell you to override that. Hope this helps at least a little bit.

Are you using a refilled cartridge or an "off brand"? I have found that either of these two products do not work well in a Kodak printer. I now only use genuine Kodak cartridges and have never had any trouble since. I hope this helps!!

I'm not sure - I know one of mine acts up occasionally and I have to raise the lid then shut it again so it resets. If you have a newer one, it could be that your cartridge is out of date and the printer refuses. Unplug it, remove the usb, put it all back and try again. Good luck. The printer manufacturers have been running the biggest scam the last few years with the chips they put in the cartridges to read if they are out of date - It's absolute extortion. You can't even buy generic anymore. Until there is legislation, buy older printers or you have to use a cartridge that is current.

I received paperwork in my shipment that stated your printer will give you an "empty" notification, because the little computer chip on each cartridge will not work correctly after being remanufactured. There were also instructions on how to bypass or ignore the "ink level warning" on the printer if that warning doesn't allow the printer to print. Give it a try printing a sample page or two. My replacement cartridges have been working just fine. Good luck!

Download an updated driver from hp. But it's hit or miss. Doesn't always work.I eventually used a cable to print.

Hey joenaples,did you try removing the cartridges and put them in back?when doing that press each cartridge firmly near the lock until you hear a click for each cartridge,the chip on the cartridge's has to ground properly for the printer to recognize it,worth a try,it works for me..

I have a HP Photosmart 5520; the black worked but the others shut down the printer.It said they were start up cartriges and could not be used again.
