    Thank you so much!!. I Agree with other comments, you have provided excellent information. You are the only one that has provided the knowledge needed to unlock the settings, something I have tried for a long time. I will definitely check your videos before trying assistance anywhere else first!

    Thank you so much for this easy to follow video. I installed new HP inkjets a few days ago, and after that my printer wouldn't print color. I followed all the instructions HP posted over and over. I finally got the color to print, but then the black wouldn't print, so I was going to send my printer to Square Trade for repair, but wanted to erase my info from the printer. When I did your semi-reset and printed the alignment page, everything was fixed!

    Thank you for this! For some reason, HP considers this confidential information. Freaking ridiculous when it locks the wireless settings on the first use. I should not have to contact HP support when I change my WiFi settings.

    I have a question and hopefully you can help. HP constantly updates the firmware with locks in them to prevent aftermarket cartridges or refilled cart. NOW, you did a SEMI-RESET" what if I do the FULL RESET will the printer go back to the first day ONE when someone bought it with the old firmware or does the new/updated firmware stay? The reason I sell 954xl (952xl) and constantly the chips stop working bec HP updated again. Then I need to change the chips with updates chips and it's a constant battle. Would FULL RESET eliminate this problem? (as long as the customer turned OFF the auto update?)

    Have 6958 hp and home light won't come on to clean head, align etc. pushing ? It comes on an when pushed ? Pops on again. Got quick error message then it disappeared but beliebe it said 651 circuit failure. Not sure of number it flashed so quick. All colors print except black. Cleaned heads thoroughly too easy fix or scrap

    Hi, does this method reset ink levels of my printer cartridge, which I refilled on my own? Mine is saying certain colors ran out, and wont print those colors even though I refilled them.

  • @303electronics

    Hi. I'm not sure, but I do not think you can reset ink levels. On HP printers most refilled ink cartridges will show low or empty ink cartridges, but may still continue printing.

    I have this printer. Been using it a couple years and like it. But today I replaced the Black ink cartridge with an OEM 902XL and keep getting "Remove and reinstall indicated cartridge" error. And I know it's installed right - not rocket science - and I've cleaned the contacts and chip with distilled water. Turned off & unplugged the printer for 1-2 3 minutes. This is happening with 2 different brand new cartridges purchased from Amazon. HP Utility says they are HP cartridges. What can I do to override this? thx!!!

    If you put your old one in will it give you same error? And also, the HP 902 and 920 ink cartridges are exactly same construction but 920 will not work in your printer. Can you make sure you have 902 ink, not 920.

    303 Electronics my printer is the OJ 9678. The 902xL is the correct one. And, after I posted I did put the old one back and it loaded just fine. The new cartridges are defective. Already arranged a return/replace through Amazon.

    @@jeffellis6544 Yep. That happens too. I often get printers that have been returned to store or taken to Goodwill just because cartridges were defective. I'm glad you spotted that. Have a wonderful day. If you are interested in the aftermarket ink cartridges, here's a link to a set of 4 XL 902 ink cartridges from a seller with very good reviews on ebay: www.ebay.com/itm/273524177643 or www.ebay.com/itm/174014307376 I do not associate with this seller, just one of many good options on ebay.
