I removed the HP ink cartridges, refilled them, and reinstalled them. Prints great but how do I reset the display to show the cartridges are full? The graph is showing the cartridges are almost empty. I have searched the net, tried various suggestions, but nothing works. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

@ERLyon, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
HP does not recommend the use of non-HP ink cartridges. It may or may not work. Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:
Reset the printer
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.

Thank you for you reply. I did NOT use non-HP cartridges. I just refilled the HP cartridges which were in the printer and reinstalled them. They print great, both black and color. But the ink display in the panel is showing "low ink." How do I reset this low ink indicator.
