Hi cauldbum. Jr inks make something called a Universal Zapit which resets a 'chipped' ink cartridge. The one ive linked to is for an epsom printer but im sure they will do one for a Dell. Unfortunatly im on my way out so i dont have time to check properly but JR Inks have a free phone number 0800 808 7777 so even if they dont do one for your printer, im sure they will point you in the right direction as ive found their tech help amongst the best ive dealt with. Hope this helps. The_DADDY P.S, hope your feeling better Madeline
