Ink refill not detected

There is no such mechanism to detect ink levels in your printer., it wont detect if adding more ink in it., it will detect only new cartridge when you replace it., printer shows estimated ink levels as per the print outs. This is hp trick to aviod refill &non hp consumables...

Ink level data is stored in a chip of the cartridge. Once the cartridge is empty, ink low message will appear eventhough you refill the cartridge. You need to deactivate ink level detection function to continue printing in case of usage of refill ink .

An ink tank that was once empty is installed.

If you want to continue printing with the refilled ink tank installed, press
and hold the [Stop/Reset] for at least 5 seconds, and then release it. Using

i am not sure but is working on 520
1. print mono or print color for color
2.stop
3.ok
4.on/off

1. Switch the printer OFF
2. Press buttons 1 + 2 + 3 and 4 (simultaneously using four fingers)
3. Keep pressing this four buttons for 10 seconds
4. Release the On/Off button (number 4) (Keeping pressing the others)
5. After a few seconds (when the printer go ON) you can release buttons 1, 2, 3

1. Maybe step "c)" is not needed
2. This procedure was used when I refilled the Black cartridge - try using the ColorCopy button instead of BlackCopy button (number 1) if you refill Color cartridge.
3. Maybe there is no need for all the four buttons - you can try 1 + 4, 2 + 4 or 3 + 4. (or 1+2+4, 1+3+4, 2+3+4)

There are two ways to reset the detection of the cartridges.

1. to reset it after refilling the ink cartridges. This is use to avoid the printer from detecting the cartridge as reused one.

2. to reset it after the ink from a refilled cartridge ran out and the printer successfully detected it and disable your printing function.

Printers have a mechanism to detect refilled cartridges. By default it does not accept refilled ones. But there's a work around. Have a set of two (preferably 3) cartridges , refill and cycle them. This way the printer wont be able to detect that you have inserted a refilled cartridge.

your newly installed cartrige which is the colored one is not detected or mybe damage....may i ask if how many times did you refill already your cartrige?refilling a cartrige can cause damage to its circuit i suggest purchase a new colored cartrige and see if it works.

if the test pages come out OK then the problem can not be the printer !!!!!!!
it must be from the application

I have the same problem. According to another site I visited you will not be able to solve your problem by refilling the 28 cartridge (black ink). You will need to purchase a 28A ink cartridge which is refillable.

Hello, I found this in a repair manual for the MP830. summery is to press and hold the stop/reset button for 5 or more seconds. I copied the info from the manual too. The remaining ink amount unknown. [1683] (Applicable ink tank icon) The remaining level of the following ink cannot be correctly detected. An ink tank which has once been empty is installed. Replace the applicable ink tank with a new one. Printing with a once-empty or refilled ink tank can damage the print head. If printing is continued without replacing the refilled ink tank, press the Stop/Reset button for 5 sec. or longer to record the use of a refilled ink tank. Note: After the above operation, the function to detect the remaining ink amount is disabled.
