Brother printer hack

I have a printer Brother HL-7130CDW. It's been working just fine and I've been very satisfied with it until just recently when it started acting weird saying I needed to change to a new cartridge even though I just did. I tried to take the "old" one out and put it back again, but that didn't solve my problem.

I contacted Brother and they would only help me if i "swore" that I only used Brother original products. Ffs! That is something that brings the stubborn devil out of me. I should be allowed to chose wichever producer I want.

So I googled around a bit and I found out how to fool my machine. So if you have a Brother printer then this can help out saving a lot of money (not having to buy cartridges more often than should be needed.

1. Open the top of the machine so that you see the cartridges
2. Press "cancel" and "secure" at the same time. A list of the cartridges appears that you can scroll through.
3. Pick one and press "OK". Press "reset" and then repeat with all on the list.

This process resets the machine so it thinks that the cartridges are new. Voila!
