Bought a genuine HP 27 black ink cartridge. I printed maybe 30 pages on draft mode with it and the Printer now stopped printing due to the cartridge being empty. Has enyone else had this problem?
I just switched from HP+ to buying my cartridges myself. I did not have this problem when I was on HP+. Ever since I canceled the HP+ my printer has been acting up. I have to reset it every other day.
any advice?
