Greetings,
Hp Envy 4500 All in One printer with single cartridge does not print.
Is there a solution to this problem described in the subject?
I specify that using HP Smart, after selecting the document to print nothing happens but only the missing cartridge notification.
Instead, when printing from a smartphone, you can print without any problems!
