I'm thinking of selling my Photosmart 2710 unless there is a
way to reset the ink levels upon refilling. I've seen conflicting info
about this, some saying it can't be done period, others that rotating
2 to 4 cartridges will do it.


There is no way to reset the ink levels. The information is in the cartridge, rotating several cartridges will not have any effect.


athat is good. HP got tired of the refillers taking one of their good carts and putting generic crap in the cart while still displaying an HP label so they did something to discourage this. Good for them.

That said I do think their carts (price) are twice what they should be.
