well, i run into a problem after a while. At the beginning I was able to print with 105XL but with my old chip, and it would give me an error saying that I have low ink, but later it stooped printing telling me that I have to replace the cartridge. If anyone find a way around this please post! Thanks

I figured it out!!! Take the RFID chip out find the black square on the front about 3/16 by 3/16 of an inch. Find the 2 wires in the board that complete the connection between that square and use a knife on the chip to break the connection between both sides of the square. Your printer should then show the black ink is full. It has worked for me for awile now. I thought i would pass it on to save you all some money. REFILL the ink don't buy new.

I swapped the RFID chip and it prints great but just is stuck on saying it is low. I don't care because I effectively couldn't even use my printer before because I couldn't afford the ink.

It is great if you got that chip to work, there is not a way at the moment, to reset the ink levels. this is true for many hp and lexmark cartridges. Just keep an eye on your printing and you will know when it needs to be refilled.

I swapped the chip from my 100 to my new 105xl. it says the ink is low, but allows printing and copying..... how does the printer calculate ink level?

Your right JLW, everything seems fine until you want to print. So, I'm sorry there just doesn't seem a away around those RFID chips... and I imagine that is Lexmark's idea. We have been recommending that people should review their operating costs for replacing those cartridges vs buying a more enviormentally friendly printer.

Do you have any further info on how to get around ...

Do you have any further info on how to get around this? I tried to put my original RFID chip in the 105 cartridge and it sort of worked. However, the printer still thought that it was empty and wouldn't allow printing!

Obviously it doesn't REALLY check the ink level, but how does the chip "see" the level??

Anyone know a workaround?
