Hello, I own a HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer-Scanner-Copier which uses HP94
& HP95. I'm using generic brand cartridges and knew how to reset the
cartridges, but I can't find the web sight that had pictures. In short,
after the process, the printer's ink level checker will show full. All I
remember is some tape, taped over one of the connections on the cartridge,
but that's all I can remember. Please help. TIA.

Did you try your favorite search engine first?

I found conflicting advice.
http://www.ehow.com/how_5187392_reset-hp-inkjet-cartridge.html has
both the tape and the cartridge-swapping methods. Another site said
the 94/95 had the ink level memory in the cartridge, not the
printer, so you can't reset the ink level, but can keep on printing
after refilling anyway.

Just yesterday I refilled an HP 21 cartridge (black) for the first
time, and the tape method worked for that, but as I said that may
not work for the 94/95.

The second site is correct. Once the 94/95 cartridges have been marked as
low they cannot be reset, but the printer will continue to print even with
the ink gauge reading "empty".

Many thanks, Bob! On behalf of the OP and the other users, I'll
ask: When do HP 94/95 ink cartridges get marked "low" (e.g. 20% or
5% of ink remaining)? After refilling, is there any way to tell (or
even guess) in advance when the ink will actually run out?

The only way I know when the Cartridges are close to empty is by the
weight of the cartridges. I can tell if they are not close to full
when I pick them up. I refill them regularly and do't let them get
close to empty
