I replaced my Ink cartridge twice (official HP Ink cartridge bought on Amazon and Best Buy) but the printer keeps telling me they are not compliant with my printer.

 

I guess the printer has a problem then. I cannot print anything and i can just throw away the first ink cartridge I bought. If this is not a cartridge issue then the error message is incorrect. Is is a known issue? What can I do now?

Hi @JulienO,

 

Thanks for taking an interest in the HP Support Forums! This is a great location to get resolutions and interact with experts from the community. I came across your post and wanted to assist you. I understand that the printer you are having issues with ink cartridge not recognized after inserting new ink cartridges. Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you resolve this issue.

 

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Which country do you reside in and was the printer purchased from the same country?

Did you replace the cartridge recently?

Did the error appear all of sudden while using an existing cartridge which worked fine earlier on the same printer?

Are you able to make a copy from the printer?

 

In the meantime, let's try these steps here: 

 

Please make sure that the printer is connected directly to the wall outlet and not to the surge protector.

Remove all the ink cartridges and then try to perform a hard reset on the printer.

With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Remove USB cable, if present.

Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.

Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord and then plug back the power cord to the printer.

Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

Now insert the ink cartridges and then try to print a test page and check if it works.

 

If you have followed the steps suggested and still having the issue, I would personally suggest this could be an issue with the printer hardware as you have already tried replacing the ink cartridges twice. I would recommend you contact our HP phone support for available service related options.

I am currently living in the US while I bought the printer in France. 

This problem happened as soon as I replaced the cartridge. With the previous cartridge it was woring fine. 

I cannot do anything with the printer currently since I am stuck on the screen saying cartidge are incompatible. 

 

I tried the reset as you mentioned as well as the instructions part of the link you provided.

 

I also tried to call support. Otherwise, I cannot find the sections you talked about in your steps by step instructions.

Here is what I tried:

(1) Once the support page opens I clicked on the Country but there was not a HP model number on the right. So I entered the number in the "Search all Support" and click on "Search"

 

(2) Next, choose the 'Contact Support' tab at the top and scroll down to the bottom of the 'HP Support- Contact' page to fill out the form provided with your contact information. It was not my contact information but my printer's information.

(3) Once completed click the 'Show Options' icon on the bottom right.

(4) Lastly, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select 'Get the phone number.' A case number and phone number will now populate for you. This last step did not work. I only had the forum option available.

Hi @JulienO,

 

As you have already mentioned in your post that you purchased this printer in France and you have moved to USA, Which means the cartridges change and this means that the printer settings needs to be changed. I would personally suggest you contact our HP phone support so that they can help you perform a regionalization reset on the printer which should actually take care of the issue.
