Incompatible ink cartridge error

[Al2015]

I have recently cancelled my instant ink contract due to issue with connectivity and printing. I have had confirmation that my contract is cancelled. I hav bought new (and correct) ink cartridges to replace the instant ink cartridges and my printer will not print.

I've tried the hard re-boot suggested and this has not worked. 

What can I now do, other than going to buy another manufacturers printer instead???

Hi @Al2015,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

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

I see that you are facing an issue with your printer that has an ink cartridge error.

A) Please follow the steps below to perform a power drain.

1) Take out the cartridges

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

Remove the cartridges > Unplug the power cord > Wait for 30 seconds > Plug the power cord back in > Insert the cartridges

B) Kindly refer to the steps on this link to update the printer firmware and let me know if that resolves the issue.

C) If the issue still persists, refer to the steps on this link to further troubleshoot.

Please mark this post as “Accepted Solution” if the issue is resolved and if you feel this reply was helpful click “Yes”.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day

No this solution didn't work. I'd already tried this before, twice also. However, I have since restored the printer to factory settings and this has now enabled me to print, although I have yet to get the scanning function to communicate with my laptop again yet.
