I am having trouble with my printer. It needed new ink and I replaced all ink cartridges, but the Cyan color is the only one that won’t work. It says it is incompatible. Well they all come in the same box so that doesn’t make sense. I tried another cyan in a different box and same thing. I tried to follow instructions on a few different forums to try and correct the issue but nothing has worked.

Tried suggestions listed here:

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

If you insert you old cyan ink, do you still get the error message?

 

Try the steps you haven't from here: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c05365403

 

Let me know if this helps.

No, it seems to work with the old one. It’s empty though

I recommend you to contact the HP Support Team regarding this as this could be an issue with the new cartridge
