Hi,

Product Number - K7G25B

I am hoping you can help.

The 'Remove and Reinstall Ink Cartridge Message' appeared without my knowledge of any software update having been done. Since the message was not clear which cartridge it was referring to, I removed and reinstalled both the black and colour cartridges but to no avail.

I have followed the instructions below which was provided by Jeet_Singh (one of HP employees) in another post with a similar issue to mine. It is still not working although the message is now not showing on the LCD. I did a test print but nothing happened.

Here are the instructions:

  • Remove all the ink cartridges and then try to perform a hard reset on the printer.
  • 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 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.
  • Now insert the ink cartridges and then try to print a test page and check if it works.

New ink cartridges were sent to the customer who raised the post and that seemed to have resolved the issue. Will it be the same case for me too? I was under the impression that HP would send me new cartridges under my Instant I

Thank you.
