I purchased original HP 952XL cartridges from Amazon in January. They worked fine in my printed until 3 days ago. Now I am getting an error that "the printer is not designed to use continuous ink systems"

@DDPrinter123, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

 

Restart the Printer

  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
  3. Remove the cartridges.
  4. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
  5. Plug the power cord back in.
  6. Wai for few minutes and then insert the cartridges (let printer prompt for cartridges)
  7. Turn on the printer

Run HP Print and Scan Doctor (Windows only):

Update Printer Firmware (Update the firmware on an HP printer | HP® Support)

  • Go to the HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads page. Enter your printer model number and search for the latest firmware update. Follow the instructions to download and install the firmware update.

Reference: HP Printers - 'Incompatible Cartridges. This Printer is Not Designed to Use Continuous Ink Systems' ...

 

I hope this helps.
