Hi @Reziii ,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP Product. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

A "Cartridge Error" on an HP DeskJet 2130 usually indicates a problem with the ink cartridges or their installation. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Check Cartridge Installation:

  • Open the printer's access door to reveal the ink cartridges.
  • Ensure the cartridges are properly seated in their slots. Press down gently on each cartridge to make sure they click into place.

Remove and Reinstall Cartridges:

  • Turn on the printer and open the access door.
  • Wait for the cartridge carriage to stop moving, then remove the cartridges.
  • Check the cartridges and slots for any visible debris or damage.
  • Reinsert the cartridges, making sure they are properly aligned and clicked into place.

Clean Cartridge Contacts:

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it.
  • Remove the cartridges and use a lint-free cloth or a cotton swab lightly moistened with water to clean the electrical contacts on the cartridges and inside the printer.
  • Allow everything to dry completely before reinstalling the cartridges.

Check for Ink Cartridge Compatibility:

  • Ensure you are using genuine HP ink cartridges that are compatible with the DeskJet 2130.

Reset the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
  • Wait for about 60 seconds.
  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Update Printer Firmware:  Update the firmware on an HP printer 

  • Sometimes, updating the printer's firmware can resolve cartridge errors. You can check for firmware updates on HP's official website or the HP Smart app.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
