Photosmart C7180 All in One Ink Error

[Quiz]

I've had my Photosmart C7180 All in One for a while now (which uses 6 02 ink cartridges), and while changing some ink cartridges recently, I noticed that the ink level on one of the cartridges (the light blue one to be specific), does not display the ink level correctly on the front display.  I usually get a message saying it's been replaced and it shows it's full on the ink guage (front display), but this particular one does not.  It still shows that the cartidges is empty.  Is there a way I can fix this?

Are you using an original HP cartridge? or just a refill one?

It's a genuine one.

I have same problem, now will not let me print.  I purchased new cartridges, replaced them, and printer will NOT acknowlege them.  It will not print.  Says to replace

My HP Solution Center say "Ink levels not currently available", but the screen on the printer is fine.

Is there a way to fix this?

Hi,

Remove the problem cartridge and check the expiry date on the cartridge(bottom/side)

Clean the cartridge contact(electrical contacts) using clean water and cloth.

Once it is done remove all cartridges and power cycle the printer.

1. Verify that the unit is switched on. Disconnect the  power cable from All-in-One and also from wall outlet.

2. Wait 30 seconds.

3. Plug in the power cable to All-in-One and also to wall outlet.

Now install the cartridges and see.

Okay, I did all that was described, and I even ran out and bought a complete set of cartridges to replace the old ones with, power cycled the printer, and while the overall print quality is back to normal, I'm STILL having problems with the color.

My self-test report displays black, light cyan, and cyan correctly, but displays yellow as a light green, and doesn't display magenta and light magenta at all.

The printer was workng fine until I had to change the cartridges, and now this.  How can this happen just like that?  The expiration dates on all my new cartridges are all 2012 or 2013.

After $60 worth of new cartridges I'm basically back where I started.  I really don't want to have to buy a new printer, and THEN spend another $100 on new cartridges for that one too!

UPDATE:

Please disregard my queries.  When I didn't hear anything, I just went out and bought a Photosmart Premium C410a printer.

Case closed.
