Wondering if someone has experience of this - I recently cancelled my service but the cartridges are almost full. You're supposed to send them back but that seems a waste, they're not going to recover the ink. They're supposed to stop working as well, but my printer is disconnected from the internet, and the cartridges still work...so...anyone have experience of this? Do they really expect the cartridges back? Are they uniqely identifiable (sounds unlikely)?

How to Fool an HP Deskjet Into Thinking it Has New Ink Cartridges
Remove the ink cartridge from the printer carriage. Turn the cartridge over so that you are looking at the copper contacts.Place a small piece of clear tape over the seventh copper contact in the second row of contacts from the left side. Place the cartridge back in the printer.Keep that piece of tape on the contact.
Seems to be a pattern forming of late.....
There are ways around them blocking the cartridges, however do not throw them away....just send them back to HP, that way you're not sending perfectly good full cartridges to landfill.
Who paying for postage?
Have you tried this ? As I cant get anything printed .. I didn't take the subscription it was the person who owned it before that has moved out so I cant even get into the subscription page etc as dont have details
Have you tried contacting customer services at HP.com and explaining the situation. I am sure they will be able to re-register the printer
