Hi @Timmy8540 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

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

 

It seems like you're experiencing an issue with your printer cartridges. We always recommend using genuine HP ink cartridges.

 

I see that you have an issue using non-HP ink cartridges on your printer.

 

Please refer to the below links for more information related to your issue.

If you are using generic or non-HP ink cartridges and the above links do not help. You will have to contact the generic ink cartridge manufacturer to assist you further with it, or you will have to use genuine HP ink cartridges to resume printing.

@Timmy8540 

 

Thanks for getting back to us.

 

If the printer will be used in a different region from where it was originally bought and used, we need to perform some changes called regional reset for your printer, only after that you will be able to use the printer with the current region ink cartridges.
