I bought a supposedly valid HP 64XL black ink cartridge from Walmart and it does not recognize it as VALID. Could it have been repackaged and relabeled to look like yours? How do I get my money back on this?

Hi @NCGNTO25,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
Thanks for your patience. I understand your HP ENVY Inspire 7955e is rejecting a genuine HP 64XL black ink cartridge you purchased from Walmart. Sorry to hear about all the trouble you are facing. Here’s what you need to do:
1. Verify Cartridge Authenticity
- Check the box for the HP security label.
 - Scan the QR code or visit HP anti-counterfeit | HP® Official Site to verify it's genuine.
 
2. Clean Cartridge Contacts
- Turn off the printer and unplug it.
 - Remove the cartridge.
 - Gently clean the gold contacts on the cartridge and inside the printer with a lint-free cloth.
 - Let dry, reinstall, and power on.
 
3. Update Printer Firmware
- Go to the HP ENVY Inspire 7955e All-in-One Printer Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support and install the latest firmware.
 
4. Reset the Printer
- Unplug the printer while it’s on.
 - Wait 60 seconds.
 - Plug it back in and turn it on.
 
I hope this helps.
Take care, and have an amazing day!
