In some cases I've seen new Chips available on eBay, and there might be a way to reset them but I'm not familiar with it. I have seen chip resetters for some inkjet printers but I don't pay a lot of attention to that because I normally only install new OEM cartridges

You're thinking ink jet, LaserJet cartridges work differently.

The chip on the LaserJet cartridge gets written when the cartridge is used.

This is not just a one-time write the page count is updated on the cartridge every few pages.
