Hi @K2moo ,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're encountering an error message and having trouble printing after changing the black ink cartridge on your HP ENVY 6455e printer. The error message "E, O" along with a flashing yellow light indicates that there might be an issue with the ink cartridge installation or recognition.
Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check Ink Cartridge Installation: Make sure that the black ink cartridge is securely installed in the printer. Sometimes, cartridges may not be inserted properly, leading to recognition errors.
- Clean Cartridge Contacts: Remove the black ink cartridge and gently wipe the contacts on both the cartridge and the printer with a clean, lint-free cloth. Sometimes, dust or debris can accumulate on the contacts, causing connectivity issues.
- Reset Printer: Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes reset the printer and resolve minor issues.
- Check for Firmware Updates: Ensure that your printer has the latest firmware installed. Sometimes, firmware updates can fix compatibility issues with ink cartridges.
- Use Genuine HP Cartridges: Ensure that you're using genuine HP ink cartridges. Third-party or refilled cartridges may not be recognized by the printer, leading to errors.
