Hp Photosmart C2480 Printer issues

Hey Bb’s, I got this stupid problem. I always get errors when I refill ink cartridges and I read all over the internet about the resetting and blah blah. What gives? Does it know how much it had last time? Must you execute the refill in a way where it won’t have a level to compare to? I know the copper connections go out but the ones I refilled were only refilled once. I keep getting a incompatible print cartridge. Tri color was refilled yesterday and I just put in a legit Hp black one…
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I found the following and thought maybe it could help you. I haven’t tried it myself. I usually have a problem when I buy refilled HP cartridges. I get a message that my cartridge is fraudulent or incompatible.

Printer Error on Initial Cartridge Installation
Cartridge not recognized
Low toner warning
Re-seat cartridge error
C.R.U.M. error (Xerox only)
Supply memory error
When a cartridge is not recognized or does not show full when installed, it may be the result of a printer memory error. A “Cold Restart” will allow your printer to erase its supply memory, and then re-calibrate on start-up. 1. Remove the toner cartridge.
2. Turn off & unplug the printer.
3. Re-install cartridge, make sure it is firmly seated.
4. Wait 5 full minutes.
5. Plug in and power up the printer. Inkjet Cartridge Troubleshooting

Cartridge not recognized
Error Message “Ink cartridge depleted” or “ink cartridge low”
1. Gently wipe the contact points on the printer with a moist, lint free, soft cloth.
2. Unplug the printer from its power source for 1 minute.
3. Firmly re-install the cartridge, making sure it “clicks” into place.
4. Re-connect the power and turn on the printer.When Ink jet cartridges are not recognized on installation, it is often caused by a printer memory failure. Unplugging the printer from its power source may help clear the memory. Cleaning the cartridge contacts may improve the printer’s ability to read the cartridge information chip.
