Resetting Esp3.2 Ink Chip

T The Kodak cartridges for my esp3.2 all in one printer have proved to be rubbish! I'm so disappointed with the ink cartridges hardly giving many sheets at all, and yet adverts boast Kodak to be cheapest printing! Rubbish! I have found it to be the most expensive ever! My cartridges have hardly any ink in them, so I refill with my own black ink but the cartridges are chipped, not allowing them to run. Is there any way I can alter my machine so I can refill my cartridges or shall I throw it away and purchase one that does allow me to refill my cartridges, as I always have done! Considering Kodak have advertised on UK TV that their inks are the cheapest, I consider this fraudulent! I have purchased cartridges online, and from Currys Direct and even tried the XL but instead of getting 600 normal printed sheets (not photos) I get about 50 ! I can honestly say this is the most expensive form of printing I have ever had in over 30 years Kodak !!
