This post in for reset the hp 21, 27, 56, 58, 22, 28 and 57 ink cartridges.
By using masking tape the restoration of these HP cartridges levels of ink is achieved. This process is necessary not precisely because the cartridges are not printing, unless the full drivers have been installed.
The truth is that these types of printer cartridges will not stop printing because the ink cartridges say this low, if a cartridge of this type does not allow to print after filling it,consider cleaning the ink cartridge.
Actually it is a bit frustrating to always print with a message there, and even more if the full installation of the drivers of the printer has been done, it is possible to get the printer blocked when printing.
It is advised to install just the basic drivers unless having a need for some HP complements that can be obtained only by installing the drivers completely. Above it is shown the procedure to reset the ink cartridges with masking tape. Also the connectors of the cartridges and the turn for the process are presented.
For this process the computer has to be turned off, in case of not being able to do so, it is advised to unplugged the USB cable of the printer. See image...

- Remove the cartridge from the printer
- Paste masking tape to the top left connector as shown in the image where the connectors are, this is the color blue connector. Place the ink cartridge again.
- The printer is now available to print a test page, in case it is not, wait until the printer finishes a process it has already started and follow the next steps.
- Remove the cartridge from the printer again.
- Now place a little bit of masking tape in the top right contact as shown in the image, this is the color red contact
- Place the ink cartridge again in the printer. It will start a process again, too and it is noticeable because the printer gets really noisy.
- Remove the ink cartridge one more time.
- Paste masking tape to the two top right connectors which are those in green. Place the ink cartridge and it will start a process again and you will hear it.
- Remove the ink cartridge for the last time and remove all the masking tape from the cartridge.
- If when placing the cartridges again, the printer presents the same low levels of ink and indicates that it is busy, turn off the printer and turn it on again, wait for about 20 seconds before turning on and now the printer must be showing the real levels of ink.
