We already have published two different posts explaining how to refill these ink cartridges, if you wish to read them please click on these following links How to refill the HP black 122 ink cartridge. and How to refill the HP 122 tricolor ink cartridge.
Sometimes, after refilling these ink cartridge error messages indicating " incompatible cartridge", "no ink cartridge or damaged cartridge"... depending on the type of printer you are using. As we mentioned before, these error messages will only appear when the ink cartridge has been refilled.
We have made some research and we came up with one solution that we have tried in our shop and was a total success. We will post this procedure below and after refilling the HP 122 ink cartridge if you printer sends an error message about the ink cartridge will need to follow the instructions below.
Thes ink cartridges are compatible with the HP DeskJet 1000, 1050, 1055, 2000, 2050, 3000, 3050, 3050A printers marketed in all Latin America.
Therefore, when the cartridge is empty the system will automatically save this information based on the pages printed from this particular cartridge. Even if you have refilled the cartridge, it will always count as empty for the system unless you are putting a brand new ink cartridge. If you have refilled the ink cartridge and want to use it you need to confuse the system to recognize this ink cartridge as a brand new.
Once you have identified the cartridge with the error remove it from the printer and close the lid that gives access to the cartridges "with just one cartridge inside the printer, the one working well".
Now to proceed to go to "printer properties" as said before, when in this menu what you have to do is to click on the “maintenance” "and after that click on “make cleaning of injectors" when the printer starts the cleaning of the injectors right before it ends open the cover giving access to the cartridges, remember you have to interrupt the printing process and open the lateral lid that gives access to the cartridges and place the cartridge that was previously indicating an incompatibility error.
If after completing this process, the printer keeps sending the same error you will need to restart the process until the error disappears.
In case any of these procedures work you will have to try to solve this problem by cleaning cartridge connectors and the printer connectors.

The solution to eliminating this error is to trick to counter pages system of the printer.
By tricking the counter pages system of the printer, we mean confusing the system so it cannot detect if the cartridge is empty or not. As you know modern printers bring integrated pages counter that indicates when the cartridge is empty to the printer based on the number of pages printed.Therefore, when the cartridge is empty the system will automatically save this information based on the pages printed from this particular cartridge. Even if you have refilled the cartridge, it will always count as empty for the system unless you are putting a brand new ink cartridge.
