@Kevin536, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
If your HP Envy 7645 printer is displaying a message indicating that the ink cartridge is not communicating with the printer, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
Power Cycle the Printer:
- Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord.
- Wait for about 60 seconds, then reconnect the power cord and turn the printer back on.
Check the Ink Cartridges:
- Ensure that the cartridges are properly installed in their respective slots. The tri-color cartridge goes in the left slot, while the black cartridge goes in the right slot.
- Remove the cartridges, check the copper-colored contacts, and make sure they are clean and free from any residue. Do not touch the nozzles or contacts.
- Reinsert the cartridges firmly until they snap into place.
Align the Ink Cartridges:
- After installing or reseating the cartridges, align them using the printer's maintenance tools. You can find this option in the printer's control panel under Setup > Printer Maintenance > Align Printer.
Use Genuine HP Cartridges:
- Ensure that you are using genuine HP ink cartridges. Non-HP cartridges may not communicate properly with your printer.
Update Printer Firmware:
- Check for any available firmware updates for your printer model. Updated firmware can resolve communication issues and improve printer performance.
Reset the Printer:
- If the problem persists, you may try a printer reset by following the instructions in your printer’s manual or online support page.
Also, I suggest you refer to this guide: HP ink cartridge issues including, incompatible, missing and not recognized errors | HP® Support
I hope this helps.

I have performed all those steps, but it did not correct the issue. I installed a different ink cartridge and it recognized it and worked immediately. I need to get the bad ink cartridge replaced. How do I do that?
