HP ENVY 4520 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a printing plan including instant ink supply for my HP ENVY 4520 All-In-One Printer

I have an ongoing error on the colour cartridge of the printer. I have completed, several times, all of the suggested fixes offered to correct the problem, nothing has provided a long term solution.  I will print one document, after going through the procedure, but then the error message returns.

This has left with one other solution, replace the colour cartridge, I cannot because I haven’t been supplied with a replacement, and one will not be sent because of the error on the cartridge! 

How do I resolve this 'Catch 22' situation

Hi Asmita, 

 

I have finally received 2 new cartridges today but they are black not colour! The issue I have is with the colour cartridge. Would you be able to arrange the delivery of a new colour cartridge ASAP please? I have not been able to print anything in colour for more than a month, although I kept paying the monthly subscription fee.

 

Thank you very much for your help. 

 

Kind regards, 

Elisabeta
