Envy Photo 6234
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

I have a HP Envy Photo 6234 all in one printer and an HP instant Ink account. The printer keeps saying that the colour cartridge has a problem and will not let me print anything. I have tried all of the troubleshooting recommendations and nothing works. How do obtain a replacement cartridge from HP as I cannot seem to get in touch with anyone to solve this.

Do you have an HP Instant Ink subscription?

If not, try the below steps:

 

Step 1: Verify the ink cartridge numbers

Make sure the ink cartridge numbers match your printer and country/region.

Go to HP Store, and then verify the ink cartridge numbers for your printer model and country/region. Replace any incompatible ink cartridges.

If the error persists, continue to the next step.

Step 2: Reset the printer

Reset the printer to recover from printer failures.

  1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.

  2. Unplug the power cord from the power source.

  3. Wait 60 seconds.

  4. Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.

    NOTE: 

    HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

  5. Turn the printer on.

If the error persists, continue to the next step.
