HP Deskjet 2700e - using 63XL tri-color ink cartridges

Hi @BAS-wap,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

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

I understand the color cartridge button on your HP Deskjet 2700e printer is flashing, it usually indicates an issue with the tri-color ink cartridge. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

• Check Ink Levels: Ensure that the tri-color ink cartridge (63XL) has sufficient ink levels. If the ink levels are low, consider replacing the cartridge with a new one.
• Reinstall Cartridge: Remove the tri-color ink cartridge from the printer and reinstall it properly. Make sure it is securely seated in its slot.
• Clean Cartridge Contacts: Sometimes, the contacts on the ink cartridge or inside the printer may become dirty or obstructed. Use a lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water to gently clean the contacts on both the cartridge and the printer.
• Reset Printer: Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes reset the printer and clear any errors.
• Update Printer Firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your HP Deskjet 2700e printer. Updating the firmware may resolve compatibility issues and improve printer functionality.
• Check for Paper Jams: Ensure that there are no paper jams or obstructions inside the printer that may be causing the issue.
• Use Genuine HP Cartridges: Make sure you are using genuine HP ink cartridges. Third-party or refilled cartridges may not work properly with your printer and can cause compatibility issues.
