Hi, we have an HP Instand Ink account but we are unable to print at the mpoment as we are getting an error on the printer screen "Ink Cartridge Problem - The following ink cartridge mus be replaced" - I think it is the black one, hard to see the colour but I have just replaced the tri-colour one, based on the fact that we had only received a replacement tri-colour one from Instant Ink.

 

If we try and print, it says the printer is off-line. If I press the Wi-fi button or ok, it does not appear to make any difference. My instant ink account does not suggest we are out of ink.

 

Any help greatly appreciated - the chat or phone help is not available on a Sunday - thanks

Officejet users beware, software update contains kill switch that will disable your printer!!

You will then see on control panel  " Ink cartridge problem"

 

This action is designed to stop users using relica's or refills.

 

They then have the oudacity to deny any knowledge of this, despite posting on internet and youtube confirming this.

My advise HP product? walk away! dont buy

There are still several companies that havent used this dirty underhand illegal tactic.
