HP business inkjet 1200 solution for expired cartridges. There is a 9 pin electrical connector located behind the bottom cover, right hand side of the printer (under the ink cartridges). The cover can be removed by prying it off. It is held in by 4 fingers that lock it in place. After the cover is off, there is a plastic barrier that I cut the middle section out of to get access to the connector. I unplugged the connector and removed the white wire. I plugged the connector back in without the white wire and now my expired cartridges worked just fine.

Thanks for visiting and commenting – no, I’ve not been a guest blogger for any other blog as I’ve only recently (in the last 8 months) jointed the blogosphere

If you’re the owner of an inkjet or multifunction printer from Hewlett-Packard, those little green recycling packets that you find in your replacement ink cartridge packages are about to go away. That’s because the company’s imaging group has begun piloting a new HP Planet Partners print and cartridge return program at more than 1,500 Staples retail locations around the United States. The effort is part of the broader HP Eco Solutions initiative.

GOT IT!
no more printer diassembling, no more chips swapping, no more money for chips or resseters.
Just a little tiny piny software for FREE (for all of us who bught these damn printers), which just patches the drivers, that I made.
If you need it, just email me at gikam@yahoo.com, put ‘fixHP’ in the subject.
good luck

Hi Angela,

Thank you for your post. As an HP employee, I understand you feel compelled to reply with a standard HP “politically correct” solution. However, it certainly does not help the many people who are sitting out here with expired cartridges and out their hard-earned money.

It would be interesting to know how many people with expired cartridges actually ordered their cartridges directly from HP as your post referenced. I’m betting .. not many. That’s what resellers are for.

From what I am reading out on the Internet, the anger reflected by hundreds of frustrated HP consumers is a valid frustration and it appears that HP doesn’t feel a need to accommodate those once very loyal (but now former) customers who feel taken.

For those out there having the same problem with expired (but full) cartridges, I recommend reading Deems’ blog and follow the links. I resolved my issue by *carefully* sliding a credit card behind the battery on the motherboard of the printer. Deems has a link to a YouTube video which will assist you in locating the battery that might otherwise be difficult to find. My “expired” message is gone for the moment.

* * * * *

Let’s see … how does that phrase go …??? “Once burned, twice shy!” This lesson was well learned and I will no longer purchase another HP product.
