Ink error message with non HP cartridges - stuck in loop

[Sanne123]

Hello, I recently wanted to start using my 11 year old HP Photosmart Wireless e-All-in-One Printer - B110c again. I haven't used it for a long time, so I had to put in new ink cartridges and connect the printer to the WiFi again.

I ordered non HP ink cartridges (I guess that was a mistake) that are compatible with this printer model, however the printer recognized them as fake. Now it keeps telling me to shut down the printer and turn it back on again. 

I took out the fake cartridges and put back the old real HP cartridges, but the same error keeps popping up.

I can not access the settings at all, it just keeps saying that I need to shut down and restart the printer, so I am stuck in a loop. I also took out the power plug, put it back in, turned printer on again, but this results in the same error message.

What should I do now? Any advise is much appreciated! 

p.s.

Please also tell me if I ruined my printer for good now and that I can throw it out of the window. Thanks!

@Sanne123, Welcome to HP Support Community!

The third-party ink cartridges will work. But there are many cartridges in the market which is refilled and sometimes the chip is not configured to work with the printer. You need to contact the cartridge manufacturer and find out why it is not working. Try a different cartridge supplier and check if that works.

If the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

I hope that answers your concern adequately. Let me know!

Hello, thanks for your reply and the suggested solution.

The problem is however, that my printer constantly shows the error message (0xc19a0020) even with (old) original HP cartridges or with no cartridges. It seems to be stuck in a loop and there is no way to reset the printer. I have unplugged the power cord over 10 times, but the same error shows. 

Is there a different way to reset the printer? There seems to be no reset button. Is it possible to connect my laptop to the printer to access the settings?

Many thanks in advance.
