(1) Remove the ink cartridge that the printer is rejecting. Look inside the printer ink cartridge well and see a small rectangular plastic button midway between the ink tube and the chip reader. This plastic sensor is causing the printer to reject the cartridge.

(2) Look at the ink cartridge on the mating side of the plastic button and see a small rubber bulb in the end of the ink cartridge. The pressure in this rubber bulb is supposed to push on the plastic button in the printer. But for various reasons it does not set the sensor to "off".

(3) To correct the problem, place a small piece of stiff tape over the end of the ink cartridge to cover the rubber bulb. DO NOT cover the ink tube or the sensor chip well. The tape should be about three inches long and ¾ inch wide. Use stiff tape like duct tape. Not flexible table. The objective is for the tape to increase the pressure the rubber bulb is supposed to impart on the plastic sensor button in the printer.

(4) Reinsert the ink cartridge in the printer. Problem solved 98% of the time. If not, there is something wrong with the sensor switch inside the printer and this solution will not work.

Hope that is helpful.
