Ink cartridge does not communicate with printer

[AdamVdk]

I'm not able to print because: "The cartridge does not communicate well with the printer". It's the black cartridge that does not work probally.

I have tried resetting the printer to no effect. I have an instant Ink Supscription, and would like to know how to handle this issue.

Kind regards

Adam

Hi @AdamVdk,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing an ink cartridge issue with your HP Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

To assist better:

• Was there any recent update on the printer prior to the issue?

While you respond to that, Let's perform a power drain: 

• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle

Hi @Anand_Andy

I finally got a chance to follow up on your suggestions and recommendations. Unfortunately the issue persist after purging the power from the printer.

The printer already runs the latest firmware.

The cartridge is new - from HP instant ink - so clogging shouldn't be an issue. Also, the the internal parts connecting the cartridges are very clean.

There was no recent update to the printer when the issue began.

Thank you for you continued support.

All the best - Adam
