How to reset 57, 28 and 22 HP ink cartridges:

Step 1: Make sure you have examined the refilled cartridge. Take a look at the bottom of the cartridge. There should be 6 copper contact strips. Go ahead and place the cartridge in front, with the copper contact strips facing you. Each strip has small squares, they are called contacts.

Step 2: Place a piece of tape over the top contact in the second column.

Step 3: It’s time to place the cartridge in the printer. Be sure to ignore the cartridge error message you may be getting on your printer’s display. From there, your printer should print a test page.

Step 4: Now remove the ink cartridge from the printer, but leave the tape on.

Step 5: Place a second piece of tape over the contact in the 6th row.

Step 6: Once again, place the ink cartridge in the printer and ignore the error message. Your printer should print another test page.

Step 7: Remove the cartridge from the printer, but this time, be sure to take the tape off of the contacts.

Step 8: Place the cartridge back in the printer. Your cartridge ink level should now read full!
