Does HP 932c printer have a memory chip on cartridge?

I have been told that the print head has a chip that keeps track of each
cartridge, so when you refill it the computer will still think that it is
empty. Is that correct? thanks

Many printers estimate the amount of ink used rather than account for it.
They start by resetting their used ink counter to 0 when you put a new
cartridge in. If you have one of these printers, you can usually trick it
into thinking you have a full cartridge by simply going through the
printer's change cartridge process.

There is no chip on the cartridge. Instead, each cartridge has a unique
ID code. Your printer remembers the current and previous cartridge. When
it sees a new code, it assumes it's a full cartridge, and starts keeping
track of ink used, subtracting it from the full value over time. The
previous-previous cartridge is deleted, and the old current becomes the
new previous. If you swap between two cartridges, it will simply ping-pong
back and forth.

To reset the ink for a given cartridge, you either need to cycle through
3 cartridges, or use some routines involving taping over contacts to alter
the ID to emulate rotating through 3 cartridges.

Not in all cases, ****tard.

I have an old 932c and I heard about the ID code in the factory cartridges.I
was told to keep 3 cartridges if I wanted to refill and to rotate through
them. I believe there is a sequence of buttons to push on the printer that
will reset the printers memory and make this unnecessary. (I had bad luck
refilling and haven't tried since.)

If you are still worried about using refills they will work.

If you were smart enough to read the subject, you would see it mentions
the HP 932. The cartridges in that do not have have ID chips. So far, it
looks like only some of the higher-end printers have chips.

Didn't read the instructions when I tried to fill cartirdges on an old
printer, pretty much ruined the clothes I was wearing, my carpet and
the printer(coated it with ink). Now I have a Lexmark X85 all in one.
When you take a cartridge out and replace it with either the same or a
new one it asks you is it the same cartridge or new cartridge just
incase you did fill it up.
