Expired HP cartridge - OfficeJet K5400

Trying to print few more pages on HP OfficeJet K5400, but not able to print everything at once. It would print 3 pages, then stuck after printing about 70% of the 4th one and LEDs blinking: the Power light and the Resume light blink, and all Print Cartridge lights are on, as described on HP Support document for K5400 series HP printers and HP's Ink Expiration page (another link).

I searched on the internet and I found solutions that worked for others but not for me.

The solution that worked for me is described on hardwarefetish.com using HP Ink Cartridge Expiration Patch (got this link via comment on http://constitutionalcode.blogspot.com/2005/02/cartridge-expiration-date-workarounds.html). Great staff, thank you!
