I have standardized my stations on the 8710 for all printing/scanning usage. The older printers have no problem using remanufactured ink cartridges. The last 3 new 8710's I've purchased will not use any remanufactured ink cartridge. Are there any settings I can change to allow for their use, or am I going to choose another brand of printer? I currently have over 30 of these printers. OEM cartridges would be cost prohibitive with the amount of printing each station does, when the remanufactured cartridges are less than 1/3 the cost of OEM.

If you have not done so, update the printer firmware.
HP Officejet Pro 8710/8720 Firmware Update
After the update is installed, Restart the computer and log in.
If you have previously updated the firmware to the latest version:
- Try different remanufactured cartridges
- Use HP genuine products (ink / paper) in your HP printer
or
- Consider purchasing a different printer model / brand / series
NOTES
- "Remanufactured" products are generally tolerated (assuming the firmware is updated on this model).
- Non-HP products, including Non-HP ink cartridges are not guaranteed to work and their use is not supported.
- Use your favorite search engine for more information on the subject. For example, search for "hp printer remanufactured ink cartridge error".
