I have refilled the cartridges on my HP Photosmart C4280. I know this is not advisable but I'm afraid I can't afford their prices. So far so good - it seems to print fine, my problem is that I still receive the 'ink low' warning. Can this be reset or disabled? It doesn't bother me that much, but I'm worried that if the priner senses it's out of ink it might become imobilised. Will this happen?

- Thank you very much. But now I've refilled the cartridges, will I remain on the 'low' warning, or will the chip eventually estimate that I am out of ink? If so, do you know the proceedure to set the printer to continue printing when I receive the 'out' message?
When refilling an inkjet cartridge that contains a chip, the chip records when the cartridge goes low and then empty. The chip needs to be replaced to eliminate the low or out message. You can set the printer to continue printing when it receives an out message even though there is ink available. However if you do run the printer and there is no ink flowing it can cause damage to the prinheads.
Yes. I have had my Dell 1700 printer since early 1997 or 1998 and have replaced the toner cartridge...

Yes. I have had my Dell 1700 printer since early 1997 or 1998 and have replaced the toner cartridge 3 times, self cleaned about once a year or two and it has survived 7 moves with the US Coast Guard overseas and in country. I can't really say it stands out since this was the 1st and only laser printer I have ever owned, but, I think it's longevity muct speak for itself. I can say that as far as my printing applications hve gone over the past decade, I hve owned 6 inkjet printers and spent thousands of dollars on ink for my many digital photos from around the world, yet, my Dell 1700 is the old reliable with only 3 toner refills, (the good one's, not remanufactered, about $59- 80 dollars depending on area of country), so, I must say I am very pleased with th product and it's durability.
