We are getting an error with our color cartridge. I have gone through all of the troubleshooting steps and nothing corrects this. Could you please issue us a new cartridge through out instant ink account?

Hi @wisco608,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd like to help!

 

Follow these steps to fix cartridge errors for printers enrolled in Instant Ink.

 

Reset the printer

Reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.

If your printer has a rechargeable battery, remove it.

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

Unplug the power cord from the power source.

Wait 60 seconds.

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

NOTE:

HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

Turn on the printer to complete the reset.

Update Firmware

HP regularly releases new printer firmware versions with product enhancements or issue fixes.

To see how to update your printer, go to Update the firmware on an HP printer.

Make sure Web Services are on. See HP Printers - Turn On Web Services for more information.
