Reset HP Printer page count and or serial number
To reset the Serial number or Page Count on a HP Printer follow the below steps.
Connect the printer via USB and note the Virtual USB Port Name, it will look something like”USB001″.
Download the file https://www.theictguy.co.uk/d/Reset_HP.pjl to the root of your system drive C:\, do not change the filename, edit the file using notepad, NOT WORDPAD, enter the serial number or page count, if you want to set one but not the other leave the one you do not wish to change blank.
Open up a cmd window
Enter the command “copy /b C:\Reset_HP.pjl USB001”
This will copy the file to the printer.
Power cycle the printer.
Done
I want to try a few things before I give my HP printer the ‘ol Officespace treatment, but the link to Reset_HP.pjl seems to be dead. Any chance you’ve still got it around? I’d gladly click that ‘buy me a coffee’ button 🙂
The fix was from around 12 years ago but I don’t often delete files so here you go!

Actually I did this, but the count is still the same. Any new updates?
What model printer do you have out of interest?
Can this reset my Hp Deskjet 3835 printer, How do I change the default print mode from monochrome to color (since I have installed a CISS kit).
God morning
I tried this on my HP Colour Laser 150 . I’m trying to reset the counters for the image drum as it has stopped working at 16000 pages and insists I buy a new one even though print quality is still great. This is a software redundancy programmed by HP which is frankly criminal (but that is another rant). I have tried a few things to reset the eeprom on board without success. I wonder if you have a newer version of the reset file which would address this issue.
Definitely worth a coffee or two.
Unfortunately I don’t have a newer version I’m sorry, if you do find a solution however please let me know and I would love you put the fix up for you, obviously credits would be attributed to yourself.
It says 1 file(s) copied but page count not reset. My printer is HP Deskjet 1212. Please advise.
Sorry Ravi, this fix must not be compatible with your model of printer.
what about the hp laserjet PRO 1102w? do you know if it works with it? My printer got the main card fail but I got a used one that works but it has a count of 209xxx and also want to reset the serial numeber is it possible with your crack?
I tried with the HP P1102w and failed. DID NOT WORK.
Hello Is this working on a printer HP Laser 107w and a HP Laser 3050 ?
Sorry I really couldn’t say. I’ve only ever tested it on a very small number of models many years ago.
Will it work on an HP 107a?
