How do i reset ink cartridges myself?

I have an Epson stylus c-82 printer, and i've refilled the ink cartridges. How do i reset the cartridges myself without buying the so called box to reset it? By the book, it says i need the 'chip' resetter to reset the ink cartridges. I was wondering how to reset the chip on the ink cartridges myself?

1. I cannot recommend using refilled cartridges. They sometimes cause printer problems, and then you don't know if it's the printer or the refilled cartidge causing the problem.
2. I recently dumped a C82. Don't know what you mean by the "box" to reset it. Epson provided a User's Guide on the installation CD which tells you how to install ink cartridges. Epson will probably detect that it is not Epson ink and give you a hard time. If it does, try to reset it this way: >>>remove all cartridges and set them on a wet paper towel so they don't dry out >>>disconnect from computer or in back of printer >>>unplug AC Wait a minute now, reconnect to computer, AC, and reinstall cartridges. If it still doesn't work, contact Epson and hope your printer is still under warranty.
