How to trick HP printer to recognize the ink cartridge

 

In our daily life, we often encounter this kind of situation. When you put a new compatible HP ink cartridge into your printer, the printer keeps telling you that you need to replace the ink cartridge or the ink level is still read empty. You must be very annoyed and think that there is something wrong on the new ink cartridge you bought, but it doesn't have to be so. In order to prevent third-party ink cartridges from being used in their printers, HP manufacturers have designed an ink cartridge protection device in their printers, so that compatible ink cartridges cannot be recognized by HP printers.

The cartridge protection feature impacts the following HP cartridge series*: HP

60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 301, 302, 303, 304, 902, 902XL 903, 906XL, 907XL, 934/935, 950/951, 952/956XL, 953/957XL, 954/958XL & 970/971.
