SOURCE: Overiding Empty Cartridge error for Dell A10 962
Hit the options button (just under the digital display on the printer) (and between the two arrows) 10 times. The hit the +arrow once to change. Go through the change motions again and you should get a new ink read.

hmmm...well..there's nothing in the service bulletins that suggest that. There IS a note related to replacing those sponges, since they do wear and dry out, even when worked properly. I usually decline to do a sponge bath(he..he) even if it sounds like a good idea. That ink gets into everything, and is tough to remove.

Hi johnpenglish,
This is a fairly common problem - it happens when some toner accidentally gets on one of the rollers that feeds the paper through the machine. This problem will often fix itself (i.e., once the loose toner has rubbed off on a few sheets of paper, it will not be on the roller anymore), but if you continue to have the problem, try using a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe off any loose toner on the rollers or the inside of the machine (you might need to remove the toner cartridge in order to reach parts of the feeding path. Be careful not to get the toner on your skin or clothing, since it stains.
Once you've gotten any loose toner off the rollers, you should no longer have a problem with lines in your copies. If the problem recurs frequently, it may be a sign of a defective toner cartridge (which releases more toner than it's supposed to).
I hope this helps - please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

I posted this initial problem....and now, here's how I believe it works....but don't quote me!! Dell has some sort of electronic thingy on the top of the cartridge underneath the label. I pulled one off to try and refil it. Refil it I did....but the printer was having none of it saying that I was out of ink. So...that is when I bought brand new fresh cartridges from Dell. As of my initial posting - I couldn't get the new colour cartridge to work ... so emailed Dell who said it was a faulty cartridge and sent another one the next day....it worked perfectly. THEREFORE.....I summise...that once you buy a Dell printer....you are buggered - basically. You have to buy direct from them. I have gone on ebay and other shops..and bought refilled ones...buy they either don't work...or the quality is rubbish. Subsequent printers that I have bought - or will buy...will be anything other than Dell! Sorry if that doesn't sound very positive...likewise if anyone does find a way rough this.....let me know....as lumbered with this printer now till it totally breaks down....then can buy a new one (not Dell!)
Try going to the Dell site and searching for that printer model. Then see if you need to have both ink cartridges populated and filled with ink, to make it work.
You might also clean the contacts on the ink cartridges, to make sure the printer knows you have both cartridges in the printer, even though they're not both filled with ink.
It just might require both to be filled, before it will print for you.
See what Dell says.
Good luck.
