I'm trying to force feed a Dell A10 942 printer that ran out of ink
until I refilled it. However, it insists that it's still out of ink and
it kicks and screams when I insist that it should print. Does anyone
know how to disable the cartridge feedback that tells it to resist
further use?

Buy Dell cartridges and stop refilling?

<g> sorry - couldn't resist

The truth is, more and more cartridge makers are aparently setting these
things up to do exactly what you've run in to.

Don't forget about those little chip resetter gizmos they sell for ink
carts for about $15US.

I've seen those for Epson, but not for Dell. They may be out there
somewhere...

I dunno what brands they may cover. I think the first ones I saw were
for Epson, too, but that was a couple years ago, and I if everybody's
doin' it, now, they may have expanded their coverage.

I just got my first Canon printer. It was free with my new laptop.
