HP Deskjet 3720
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I recently replaced the Black and Tri-color ink cartridges on my HP Deskjet 3720, which worked for a short while, but I am now receiving an "Cartridge problem" error message. I have tried ejecting and re-inserting the cartridges, as well as cleaning the cartridge heads and multiple printer reboots.

 

What can I do?

 

Thanks

Insert one ink cartridge at a time to identify the defective ink cartridge.

 I tried this and it indicates that the Tri-color cartridge is the one with the problem. Why has this cartridge failed so quickly? I only recently bought it, and it has hardly been used. Why would it be broken? Is there a way to fix it?

I understand your concern. Since the ink cartridge was recently bought, HP will replace it for you as it is defective. 

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options.

Hi

 

I have not been able to contact anyone from HP regarding replacement of the cartridge. The virtual assistant does not work. What can I do?
