Please help me get my HP2130 deskjet to print from my refilled HP 302 cartridge

In the past I've refilled 301 HP ink cartridges for my last HP deskjet printer with no trouble printing, but my new printer, an HP2130 deskjet, won't print after I've refilled its 302 HP cartridge. Thanks for any ideas, as I can't seem to fish out anything from Youtube or online to help.
Peel back your baby's eyelid to find no nationality or religious identity mark there. Peer at your baby's eyes for them to reflect back just people-throw away your flags and religious symbols...

No message as I'm using linux. The printer is working ok except up until I refilled one of its cartridges this afternoon .Peel back your baby's eyelid to find no nationality or religious identity mark there.

Do you have just the inks and syringes ? you need the primer adapter as well
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVi0HwQ8YoY0 -
I've used inks and syringes over the years to refill without whatever a primer adapter is.
I've seen that link already this afternoon, but thanks anyway.
One of the replies on the link says this below, but its not so and it alludes to a (HP deskjet 2131) not a 2130.

You can fill them but the printer will always read them as empty. This will not effect the performance"Peel back your baby's eyelid to find no nationality or religious identity mark there.

Except that although 302 cartridges are mentioned in the title, none are shown in the video. All the primer adapter does is allow you to suck ink through the printheads using a syringe, as long as the cartridges haven't been left for some time out of the machine, it shouldn't be necessary as the printers clean/prime function works by sucking ink through the printhead so this should happen when you re-install the cartridges into the printer, if it doesn't there will be a way of manually running the printhead clean function, if no screen on the printer then it will be in printer properties. The 302 cartridges are pretty new and it may be the HP have found a way to make it even harder to get refills to work, I couldn't say all I can say is that we do hundreds of 301s and 62s without problem but haven't had to do 302s, we tend to sell OEM because they are barely worth doing on a commercial basis unless they are the XL version.I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world0 -

Which is the case for most cartridges of that type, ie print head in cartridge as opposed to the ink tank type, some of the older HP carts can be reset with the right equipment.I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world0 -

Yes that's what I thought.
When I get to work tomorrow I'll see what I can find out for you, it may be that you might have to go down the route of buying compats. As a thought, you didn't buy the printer on HPs instant ink thing did you?I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world0 -
I bought the printer from Argos as usual. Thanks for your help.Peel back your baby's eyelid to find no nationality or religious identity mark there. Peer at your baby's eyes for them to reflect back just people-throw away your flags and religious symbols...0
