actually I know what Jim is posting. I saw that info on the Internet quite a while ago. SUPPOSEDLY there is ink still in your ink cartridges AFTER the computer tells you they are empty. You can Google it to find out about the reset button.

Amen!

After paying a fortune for INK carts that never seem to last very long, costing even MORE, I said
NO MORE OF THIS RIP OFF FOR ME!


I researched Laser printers… and found out "It's the ONLY way to Fly!"

I settled on a Brother HL-2270DW ( now replaced by HL-L2340DW )

It connects Wirelessly to a home WiFi network… just plug it into your Router (Digital Network Router, not WW'g ) and it installs it'self… Now go to your Notebooks, Tablets, etc. and Define the printer as the network printer… Now, everyone on the network can print their recipes, email, documents, etc. etc.

One more eyeopening thing… It can print on both sides of the paper… Just select Duplex (2 sided mode) and your document will use HALF as much paper.. it will print on both sides of the paper… will print page 1, back-up the paper into the printer, and print page 2 on the other side, etc. etc. Beautiful!

You say… but it "needs Toner Cartridges" you say... I buy bottles of toner & when it comes time to NEED TONER (which is a VERY LONG time compared to INKjet), for less than $10 and I replace the toner & away we go…!

It prints at the rate of 27 ppm (pages per minute)!

I don't care about any Reset Button for INKjet cartridges… (very big GRIN)

Jim, have fun with your ink cart's… :)

I didn't think there was a real need to print anything anymore. We rarely replace ours yearly (3 kids to boot) and usually I just buy a new HP throw away printer as cheaper than replacement cartridge. My father in law uses his up all the time also and I just figured it was a retired guy thing with nothing better to do and prints everything he gets sent or he finds interesting instead of just saving it on his computer.

Some years back I had some cartridges refilled but the printer would not accept them, took them back and was told that they had forgotten to reset the whatever button. They were them accepted by the printer. Question: is the reset button only on refilled cartridges as I can't find one on a off the shelf one. Good one Jim, this will keep some LJ's busy for sometime.

Jim,

"Great Galloping Goannas" (Very large Australian Lizard) I never knew that!!!!! In fact only a fortnight ago I bought a new Mono Laser Printer and a MULTI FUNCTION Ink Jet Colour Printer….I will be checking out the instructions this evening. (which of course I have already read cover to cover) Ha, Ha. I may also out of curiosity contact the place I bought it from and see if they know about this.

Thanks Jim!!!! Great Tip!!!!

Regards,

Cliff.

I refilled one of mine a while ago and it wouldn't work, just like Bob Collins, so I threw away the remainder of the refill bits and the cartridge.
Damn, , didn't know that.

I don't have a printer but have lot's of people that do and get them to print stuff for me .
I will pass this on to them .

printers inks are like a mag in a pistol. when you run out, re-load… I'll also add anyone who has a reset button on their refrigerator for the water filter….........computer tech will tell you to replace your filter approximately every 3 months…......,just hit the reset button and it'll turn green like you replaced the filter.it will never know it's not a new filter… LOL :)

didn't know there was a reset button… though I have always used the cartridge until the print looks crappy, not assume the electronic notifier is correct.
The notification does provide me a prompt that I should probably have a spare ready
