Does anyone know how to get around this. The printer is asking me to change the cartridge when the cartridge is actually half full. Any ideas how to reset this and keep printing ?

Anyone have any tips ??

Ive tried swapping the chip with a used cartridge. I have taken the cartridge out and put a brand new one in. Now it is still giving me an empty message on printer. I cannot do anything and have jobs pending!! Any help would be appreciated .

Update, when the cartridge is removed. the printer goes back into normal state ready to print. When the cartridge is inserted back in the printer shows out of ink, beeps and wont allow me to do anything.

When going to the ink level setting on the printer. without a cartridge in it shows full. I place the cartridge in, it starts beeping and i cant control anything.

I have a vs and would start looking to see any bits of cart label stuck down the holder.
Or see if the sensor arm is bent or damaged.

TO add further into this damn nightmare of an issue which only happens after hours and when printer is needed. The issue appeared to have resolved itself couple of hours later. I had another color go out after i replaced it showed full and the magenta once agains shows empty. I pull magenta out and the printer is ready to go, except there is no magenta in the machine. I put magenta back in, it once again shows empty. Has no one ever had this happen!!????
