Where is Bob Headrick when you need him? :)
Even though you've cycled three or four ink cartridges,
I don't think that will erase any cartridge serial numbers
because I think the HP D145 printer actually BURNS the
installation date into the HP-14 cartridges themselves!
I may be wrong so take whatever Bob Headrick says as
gospel in response ... but if I'm right, now that the ink is
out of the first HP-14 color cartridge, then the only way
you can refill these c5010A cartridges is to tape over certain
gold leads BEFORE you place the cartridge in that
Hewlett Packard D145 printer for the first time.
Worse yet, you've started the expiration clock merely by inserting
the HP-14 ink cartridge into the HP D145 printer & there's nothing
you can do to stop the expiration clock from its inevitable countdown.
If anyone knows WHICH gold leads to tape over so that the
expiration clock doesn't start ticking, please let the rest of us
know the secret sauce!

Who is Bob Headrick?
I've always had problems with HP printers crapping out on me so I don't
recommend anyone ever buy them. Remember HP makes all its money on the ink.
It's their game to tell you the ink is empty when it's not. Sure they could
actually l@@k but they don't see it as their advantage to really tell you
how much ink is in there.
You don't think they could just sense the amount of ink in the cartridge?
Nope. They don't want to know the answer. In your case, the hpc5010a HP #14
ink is full but HP doesn't actually care. They want you to go out on
Christmas eve and buy another 50 dollar cartridge of 6.33 ml of ink (per
color). Sucker!
It's all your fault for purchasing an HP printer.
Anyone who buys or uses an HP printer is a **** fool!
Suffer like the rest of us did until we found a different printer
manufacturer that actually cared about their printer and their customer
more than their overpriced ink.
Bill
P.S. Don't tell whoever Bob Headrick is that I said this!

I use Canon printers. There are alternative suppliers of ink cartridges
for Canon printers. The ink cartridges do not have chips to expire them
after some time after manufacture or after first use or get in the way of
refilling.
For at least some models, all colors are replaceable separately.
CAUTION: The manual says you may damage your printer with refilled ink
cartridges. And I have sometimes had refilled ones act like they were
empty or low even when there was a lot of ink in them (with a BJC-620
printer), even after as little as two refills.

You may still have a chance this evening if you try this hint I picked up
on the web somewhere. These steps were meant to apply to those who refill
the HP14 cartridges, yet you have original HP14 ink --- but the steps
still might work for you if you hurry before the kids wake up to see all
their presents with monotone hand-labelled notes from Santa & Mrs. Claus!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Make sure the DATE is showing in the HP OfficeJet D LCD display.
Note: The reset process will NOT work if the date is not showing!
Note: Reset only one tank (HP14 tri-color or black) at a time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. With two fingers, instantly press the "<" & ">" keys and let up.
Note: Do not hold the two keys down for more than an instant or
nothing will happen; just try again if you do that.
For the tri-color tank:
Then press the keys "4" "5" and "6", in sequence, on the d145 keypad.
Or, for the black tank:
Press the keys "7" "8" and "9", in sequence, on the OfficeJet keypad.
When the display asks "Ink Gage Off? 1=Yes 2=No", enter 1 (of course).
You should now see the message "Ink gage is now off".
Note: If you ever wish to turn the ink gage back on (say, for a new
tank), you can repeat the steps above, entering "2" instead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Print a black-and-white or tri-color test page:
Note: Here are sample color and B&W test pages to print:
http://www.printerfillingstation.com/color/color.htm
http://www.printerfillingstation.com/color/black.htm
Note: My ink refill kit contained black, cyan, magenta, yellow,
photo cyan, & photo magenta (photo is lighter). My instructions
say to use the regular color, not the pc (photo color).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. To restore HPd145 factory defaults:
Press "Menu" on the OfficeJet D series printer.
Bring up the "Status & Maintenance" menu by pressing the keys, in
sequence "7" and "5"; then select "Restore Factory Defaults"
(luckily, this will not wipe out speed-dial settings nor fax header &
date information).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hints:
- This method does NOT reset expiration dates.
- The printer will refuse to print using expired-date tanks.
- Before your ink goes dry (even for a day), refill it!
- Choose the 20% level as your refill level.
- You can easily get 5-7 refills from a cartridge (range is 2 to 20).
- Never ever touch the copper contacts on any printer ink cartridge!
- Tape over the correct contacts before placing them in service!
Note: The mere fact you've refilled cartridges & ink tanks can NOT
affect your warranty (by law)! For example, see HP's web site:
http://www.hp.com/cposupport/printers/support_doc/bpa00113.html
which basically dances around the FTC Magnuson-Moss Warranty
Improvement Act which says a company cannot warrant or sell any
product under the pretense the consumer MUST purchase replacement
parts solely from them.

Merry Christmas! See
http://www.stratitec.com/inkrefill/support/inkreset4.php
Resetting ink levels in HP printers with HP 14 cartridges
First check to verify that your cartridge has not exceeded it's
expiration date. Printers that use the HP14 cartridge are unable to
use expired cartridges. If your cartridge is not past it's expiration
date, you may be able to override the ink level meters on the printer.
IMPORTANT: Printing with an empty print cartridge can result in
damaged print heads. Be sure to refill frequently, and before the
printer shows signs of low ink.
Before disabling the Ink Level Gauge, be aware that your printer will
no longer warn you when your cartridges are in need of refill. You
will need to pay close attention, and refill them before they run low.
The procedure to reset the ink level on the black cartridge differs
slightly from the the color cartridge procedure. To override the ink
level gauge:
For Black
Press both left and right arrow buttons simultaneously, then release
Press 7, 8, then 9
A prompt should appear in the status window on the unit, press 1 for
Yes to turn off the level indicator on this particular black cartridge
For Tri-Color
Press both left and right arrow buttons simultaneously, then release
Press 4, 5, then 6
A prompt should appear in the status window on the unit, press 1 for
Yes to turn off the level indicator on this particular color
cartridge.
The following is an alternate method for the Color Inkjet 1160 model
printer. This model does not have a keypad for the sequence above. You
may reset this printer's ink level gauge, by the following method:
For Black
Press and hold down the Power button
While holding down the Power button:
* Press the Cancel button twelve (12) times
* Press the Resume button once (1)
Release the Power button
For Tri-Color
Press and hold down the Power button
While holding down the Power button:
* Press the Cancel button twelve (12) times
* Press the Resume button three (3) times
Release the Power button.
