HP Photosmart C5250 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I replaced the black ink cartridge in my HP Photosmart 5250 All-In-One Printer.  The orange exclamation point is flashing and the screen says "Refer to printer documentation"  The printer will not work.  I don't have any documentation.  Anyone know how I can get it to work?

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

I'd love to help.

 

If you insert your old ink, do you still see the error and lights?

 

Let us know 🙂

 

Thanks!
