Hi @Gil9,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.  


Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

If your Designjet T1100 is showing a faulty G ink cartridge message, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take.

 

  • Check the cartridge: First, remove the G ink cartridge and inspect it for any damage or leaks. Make sure the contacts on the cartridge are clean and free of debris.
  • Clean the contacts: If the contacts are dirty, use a lint-free cloth or cotton swab to gently clean them. Be sure to wipe away any debris or ink residue.
  • Reset the printer: Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on. This can help reset the printer and clear any error messages.
  • Replace the cartridge: If the above steps don't work, try replacing the faulty G ink cartridge with a new one. Make sure it's a genuine HP cartridge and that it's properly installed. 

 

I hope this helps. 


Take care and have a good day.

You will have to update the printers firmware (if available) for it to accept the B versions of the cartridges

What firmware release are you currently running? I have some archived firmware and might have a newer one.
