[dba-Tech] Printer Tank Counter

Dear List:

I got a couple of Canon PIXMA iP1600s free with the purchase of a couple 
of 19 inch flat screen monitors at Fry's.

Of course, the low ink warning comes up when the carts are still about 
1/3 full but that's the scam.  Give away the razor, sell the blade.

Anyway, I refilled the cartridges but the warning still comes up every 
time I print something.  Apparently these printers are "chipped" with 
some kind of bogus counter rather than actually sensing the ink level.

In any event I combed the net looking for info on resetting this counter 
(without actually having to spend $40-50 on new carts which is what the 
printer retails for anyway).

Does anyone know how or even if this counter can be reset so the low ink 
nag screen doesn't pop up every time I print something.

MTIA,

Rocky
