I rarely use the colors on my HP 2200 inkjet printer and I've had to replace
several completely full cartridges since the printer will shutdown in the
middle of printing.

Up until recently, I could set the date back on the computer and continue
printing but now the yellow must be changed regardless of whatever date the
computer has been set to.

I'm wondering if changing the date of the computer before installing new
cartridges will extend the cartridge lifetime? What would happen if I set
the date a year or two ahead when I install a bunch of new print cartridges?

I have already checked out:

which mentions changing the HP*.INI date. I opened the only HP*.INI file with
a hex editor on my XP PRO computer but couldn't find anything remotely like
the string he was was referring to.

My logic in advancing the date a year or two into the future when installing
the cartridges (and then setting the computer time back to normal) is that I
would have that much more time before the cartridges expired. BUT, if
there's an expiration date from the time the cartridges are manufactured,
then the cartridges would become instantly null and void the moment I plugged
the cartridges in.

Too bad that I paid so much for the HP printer or I would have just chucked
it. When it came time to buy a printer for my wife, you can be certain it
wasn't an HP.

What models have this time limit?
Is the HP Deskjet 1220C exempt from this?

The models that enforce out of ink or cartridge expiration are those that have
separate printheads and ink supplies. If the ink runs out or become old and
thickened damage to the printhead may occur, thus the expiration. This
includes the Business Inkjet Series, the D series all-in-ones and a few other
models. No DeskJet printer has a cartridge expiration, so the DeskJet 1220 is
not affected.

The original poster would probably be better off with a different printer. The
ink generally expires after 30 months in the printer. If you do not use a
color cartridge in 2 1/2 years you would probably be better off with a DeskJet
such as the 6540 which will work without a color cartridge installed if
necessary.

Why do you no longer disclose that you are employed by HP?

If the heads are also user replaceable, then why force the expiration?
If you damage the heads, then HP makes even more profit from their
replacement!
