Printer wouldn’t print anything but can scan

[Martmens]

After installing drivers for Hp officejet pro 7730. I can’t even print network settings from the printer. It can’t print from the computer too. I can’t photo copy too. It indicate on the printer screen that printing but absolutely nothing happens. When I try switching it off the screen displays shutting down and would be on for like hours unless I switch it off from the main switch. I try photocopying too still the printer indicate printing on the printer screen. It still doesn’t print

There is a red with white dash at the cartridge side and when I print the printing shows and nothing happens. I can’t switch it off unless I remove the power cable. And moreover the cartridge is detected but I don’t see the number of papers it can print. These are some pictures

Hi! @Martmens,

Are you using the cartridges that were installed on any other printer?

Are you signed up for instant ink?

Are you using genuine HP ink?

If the cartridge was used on any other printer, the user has an option to enable cartridge protection. If it is enabled, you will not be able to use the cartridges on any other printer.

For an HP Forums port which explains this, please click here. 

If you wish to disable this feature, you can follow the procedure mentioned below. 

1. Open Devices and Printers Window from the Control panel. 

2. Find your HP printer in the list and double-click it to open the Settings page.

3. Click the text for Estimated Ink Levels under the heading of Shopping Resources. This

will open the HP Toolbox window.

4. Click the tab for Cartridge Protection.

5. Click the radio button next to Disable HP Cartridge Protection.

6. Click the Save Setting button to save your new setting. Then, close the window.

7. You may need to remove and reinstall the cartridge for it to be recognized properly.

Hope this answers your query!

Take Care! 🙂
