Hi @wallabybill 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

It's not uncommon for HP printers like the OfficeJet series to have issues with third-party ink cartridges. HP printers often use a technology called "HP Dynamic Security" or "HP Cartridge Protection" to detect and block the use of non-HP ink cartridges. This is done to protect their printers from potential damage and maintain print quality.

Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

• Check for Firmware Updates: Ensure that your printer has the latest firmware installed. Sometimes, HP releases firmware updates that may relax restrictions on using third-party ink cartridges. You can check for updates on the HP website or through the printer's settings menu.
• Use Genuine HP Cartridges: The simplest solution is to use genuine HP ink cartridges. While they can be more expensive, they are designed to work seamlessly with HP printers and are less likely to cause compatibility issues.
• Disable Cartridge Protection: Some HP printers allow you to disable cartridge protection through the printer's settings menu. Check your printer's user manual or HP's website for specific instructions on how to do this. Be aware that disabling cartridge protection may void your warranty.
• Return or Exchange: If you recently purchased third-party cartridges and they are not working, consider returning or exchanging them with the retailer or manufacturer. Sometimes, you may receive defective or incompatible cartridges.

Remember that using third-party ink cartridges can sometimes have unpredictable results, including reduced print quality or potential damage to your printer. While it can be tempting due to cost savings, it's essential to weigh the pros and cons and consider the potential consequences before using them. Always make sure you're using cartridges that are compatible with your specific printer model.
