winsor444 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Greetings everyone, I will attempt to hack the HP ink chip EEPROM using a Bus Pirate 3.6 Main goal would be to reset the ink chip EEPROM counter and use my ink refill kit to save $$. Any helpful tips would be great. Thanks. -Pritner HP OfficeJet 4620 I will post pictures of the setup Edited December 25, 2013 by winsor444 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 In my opinion, printers are obsolete and disposable now. It's cheaper to buy a new printer than it is to refill ink it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsor444 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 The companies don't make any money selling the printers, they make their money ripping off customers on selling INK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsor444 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) The companies don't make any money selling the printers to consumers. They make their money selling the INK cartridges that is why they implement EEPROM chips to prevent their customers from using refill kits and continue to get ripped off using their ink. It's just like going to gas station and only being able to use one type of gas because the nozzle was designed to be square and your car only fits a circular nozzle therefore you can't use it even though it's the same type of gas.
