HP DeskJet 3637 All-in-One Printer

I bought an original HP302 black cartridge, but deskjet printer 3637 does not recognize this cartridge. The old one (exact the same as the new one) is still working but off course empty. I tried all possible solutions adviced.

Hi @GLodder,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd like to help!

 

Perform the following tasks in the order given. Use the printer after each task to see if the issue is resolved.

Check the ink cartridge numbers

Make sure the cartridge model numbers match your printer and country/region.

Open the door or lid to the cartridge access area. Wait until the carriage stops moving before continuing.

Look at the cartridge labels.

Printers enrolled in HP Instant Ink: The cartridges should be marked Instant Ink. The numbers on Instant Ink cartridges are different from standard cartridges and the cartridges may be larger. Your printer is designed to work with the cartridges shipped to you by HP Instant Ink. If you see a Cartridge cannot be used until printer is enrolled message, go to Solve problems with Instant Ink cartridges and enrolled printers for more information.

Printers NOT enrolled in HP Instant Ink: Go to the HP Store to make sure that the cartridges are compatible. Your printer must be enrolled in Instant Ink to use Instant Ink cartridges.

Replace any incompatible cartridges.

 

NOTE: HP+ printers require Original HP cartridges.

 

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.

 

Click here for the remaining steps. 

 

Update Firmware
