What is this "HP drop dead date" thing ?


"...All Hewlett Packard ink cartridges have microchips installed that
tell the printer when the cartridge expires. HP cartridges typically
expire 2 years from their date of manufacture. After this date, the
printer will no longer recognize the cartridge. While you can't
permanently disable the timers in these cartridges, you can reset them
each time you refill a cartridge, or want to use it past its
expiration date. A universal method of resetting these timers is to
cycle cartridges."
