Great videos! Do you have any experience with using one of those chip resetter gizmos to solve this problem? I have seen chip resetters on ebay, but I don't know anyone that has actually used one and whether or not it actually works.

Hi Terry. Well you definitely showed me how to get my printer to reflect FULL ink cartridges, but because the ? is there, it will still not allow me to print anything. So I'm not sure what this has solved. I'd be happy to tip if you can help me with this workaround.

If printer companies would charge a reasonable amount for ink cartridges, people wouldn't be buying off brand inks.

Hi Terry, I have just got a Brother MFC-j6530dw Printer and found that if you replace all inks with compatible inks, the last one installed wont register. it keeps saying reinstall slowly, with what ever colour was the last installed. If you have at least one original ink cartridge installed, it lets you use three compatibles at the same time. This is obviously a firm ware issue with the Printer that Brother have installed. I cant find any way round this, and the compatible cartridges "chip" does not seem removable. Even the new Brother cartriges chips do not seem removable. Am I missing some thing?

Terry, I have the same 6945 DW printer. I have successfully refilled my original ink cartridges, and have had good success with that. Now suddenly (6 months later) the printer believes the cyan color is empty and will not allow me to reset or override as you described. As a result, the printer will not operate. The display states that it cannot detect ink volume on cyan and will not allow me to leave the screen and use the printer. I've unplugged. It turned it off and on several times, pulled the cartridge out several times, which is at least half full of ink. I'm now stuck and don't want to go buy new cartridges. Is there an another workaround regarding exiting this screen so I can use my printer?

Hi Terry. I've been looking at this exact model, the Brother MFC-J6945DW A3 all-in-one colour inkjet printer. Do you know when this model was first released? Would you advise me to buy this, or to perhaps wait and see if a newer similar A3 all-in-one inkjet printer from Brother is due to be released, or would you recommend I purchase another brand? I really like all of the features/specs of this particular printer and would not want less from a printer. 😊

Hi, I have a Brother MFC-j3940dw, and in the past I successfully refill old cartridges and reset ink level, but after the latest firmware update I can't bypass the "low level ink" and "replace magenta cartridge" message. Do you know how I can downgrade the firmware or how to bypass these messages ? Thank you

What is the work around? My printer won't print because of the question marks. Am I stuck bending over for "authorized" ink only?

[felyjuntillo]

do you have a video for brother 3540dw how to reset the ink volume.coz when the ink empty the catridge will not recognize

[adrianchampion]

You are the only one talking about this problem. I have the same problem with my mfc j47100dw. This trick dont work for mine . It wont let me print with that error code. I feel like i bought a printer that I don't own. Smh

[svetlo]

what brand non genuine cartridges do you recommend? Do they ever clog the printer head?

[dehoek]

Hi Terry! We have the similair issue here. Rebooting shows the levels indeed. But the printer wont let us print, copy or anything else, because the ??? are in the way. Any work around for that? Thanks in advance :)

[Avalone]

mine won't print if it can't detect ink level

[mss]

That's great. Now how do we get the printer to print? It won't print anything as long as that alarm is present.
