Hi, I dont think you can reset the ink level indicator.
The printer will not know how much you have refilled. So it will not give you the level otherwise the printer manufacturer becomes liable for giving info over something which they have no control over.
You will need to monitor the cartridges once you have refilled it. But you should be aware of something on this printer though...
a) This printer comes with a permanent printhead that is installed in the printer.
b) If your refill inks damage that printhead, you cannot simply replace it like with the older-style cartridges where the printhead is disposable and you get a new one with a new cartridge you buy. Once damaged, the printer is toast, basically.
c) Also, dont let the printhead run dry because if it is dry and it is still trying to print, it will dry-fire and damage the resistors.

I would not recommend refilling these inks. There is a value pack available in retail stores which carries all six ink catridges for this printer, and includes 150 sheets of 4x6 photo paper for around $35. Pretty incredible value.

Usually you just use the Printer maintenance software to reset the capacity level indicator to read "full" again. Hope this helps.
