Hi @LittleBird7,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you are getting a compatibility error with your black #63 cartridge can be frustrating, but here are some steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
Check Cartridge Compatibility:
- Ensure that the cartridge is indeed a genuine HP #63 cartridge and not a counterfeit or refurbished one. Look for the HP logo and packaging authenticity.
Reinstall the Cartridge:
- Remove the black #63 cartridge from your printer.
- Clean the gold contacts on the cartridge with a lint-free cloth.
- Reinsert the cartridge, making sure it clicks into place securely.
Reset the Printer:
- Turn off your printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Wait for about 60 seconds.
- Plug the printer back in and turn it on.
Update Printer Firmware: Update the firmware on an HP printer
- Check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer. You can usually find updates on the HP Support website. Install any available updates.
Check for Firmware Locks:
- Some printers may have firmware that restricts the use of non-genuine cartridges. If you recently updated the printer's firmware, it may have enforced these restrictions.
Try Another Cartridge:
- If possible, try a different black #63 cartridge. This will help you determine if the issue is with the cartridge itself or the printer.
