January 26th 2015 - printer re-set

For today's pin I was going to attempt to reset my HP printer ink cartridges via a link on pinterest, where it said that you take the cartridge out, turn it over and using a paper clip gently press on the re-set button in the middle.  Brilliant and very easy.

Errrrr not very easy if you have a HP printer as they DONT have a re-set button!  So I had to look for another pin on how to reset a HP.  I found one and it said to remove the cartridges and turn them over, cover the top 4 pins of the left row with clear tape and put back in printer, you would get an error message and to wat 10seconds before removing.  remove the tape and place over top 4 on right side.  This would have been great except my cartridges didnt have 4 pins near the top!

Well I placed the tape over 4pins and put the cartridges back in, got the error message, waited and then removed, and did the same the other side.  Removed the tape altogther and put cartridges back in and printed the test page which it printed.  (YAY)

Unfortunately when I tried to print the document I needed it came out blank again.  So this pin was a total flop for my printer.  Was a worth a shot incase I could trick it it thinking there was abit more ink left.  Never mind, will have to wait to get new ink.
