I own a HP 9810 printer, purchased from Costco. It uses 962 or 962XL ink cartridges. The latest cartridges are HP and look just like the old ones.  The printer gives an error message that the cartridge is not intended for use in this printer.  What can I do to make the printer recognize the HP cartridges?

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that you are getting a cartridge error, I am glad to assist you.

Reset the printer

  • Reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.
  • If your printer has a rechargeable battery, remove it.
  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the power source.
  • Wait 60 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.
  • NOTE: HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
  • Turn on the printer to complete the reset.

Clean the ink cartridge electrical contacts

  • Remove any debris or buildup from the contacts on the cartridges.
  • Open the door or lid to the cartridge access area. Wait until the carriage stops moving before continuing.
  • Push in on the cartridge indicated in the error message to release it from the carriage.
  • Removing the ink cartridge
  • Wipe the copper-colored contact on the cartridge with a lint-free cloth.
  • Cleaning the contact on the ink cartridge
  • Slide the cartridge into its color-coded slot until it clicks into place.
  • Repeat these steps for any other cartridges indicated in the error message.
  • Close the door or lid to the cartridge access area.

I have tried your solution several times, and it didn't work.  So, I have to replace a three-year-old printer.
