Hi @Victor197,

 

Thank you for the response.

 

Try these steps:

1. Remove and Reinstall the Cartridge

  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Open the cartridge door and remove the cartridge.
  3. Reinsert the cartridge ensuring it is properly seated.
  4. Turn the printer back on. For more information, see Inserting print cartridges.

2. Clean the Cartridge Contacts

  1. Turn off the printer and unplug it.
  2. Remove the cartridge.
  3. Clean the copper-colored contacts on the cartridge using a lint-free cloth or cotton swab lightly moistened with distilled water.
  4. After cleaning, allow the contacts to dry for a few minutes.
  5. Reinsert the cartridge and turn the printer back on.

3. Check Compatibility

Ensure that the cartridges you are using are compatible with your printer model.

4. Replace the Cartridge

If the error persists, it could indicate the cartridge is damaged. Replace the cartridge with a new one that is compatible with the HP A612.

5. Print Using Ink-Backup Mode

If you have another cartridge installed and do not need color printing or the damaged cartridge features, try removing the defective cartridge and print using ink-backup mode.

I hope this helps.
