cartridge is empty. I replaced it with a new original one, but the error

Hi @ Avi131,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your HP OfficeJet Pro 7740. If you've already replaced the black cartridge with a new original one and performed a factory reset without success, there are a few additional steps you can try to resolve the issue

  1. Restart the Printer:
    • Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and wait for about 60 seconds.
    • Plug the power cord back in and turn on the printer.
  2. Check for Paper Jams:
    • Make sure there are no paper jams in the printer. Open all access doors and remove any paper that may be stuck.
  3. Check Connectivity:
    • Ensure that all cables are securely connected to the printer.
    • Check the wireless connection if you are using Wi-Fi. Make sure the printer is connected to the correct network.
  4. Update Firmware:
    • Check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer on the HP support website. If so, update the firmware following the manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Reset the Printer:
    • Some printers have a reset button or sequence. Check the printer manual for instructions on how to perform a reset.
  6. Factory Reset:
    • As a last resort, you may consider performing a factory reset on the printer. Be aware that this will erase any custom settings you have made. Refer to the printer manual for instructions on how to perform a factory reset.
