Color LaserJet Pro M254dw

I have a Color Laserjet printer M254dw and I recently replaced all 4 ink cartridges with HP ink cartridges.  All four of them come up with "Supply Problem" and I can't print.  I've tried rebooting the printer, unplugging the printer, nothing seems to clear the issue.

  8. Check for and remove the protective sealing tape on the toner cartridge.

    To remove the protective sealing tape, pull the tab away from the toner cartridge, and then discard.

       CAUTION: 

    If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash the clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into the fabric.

  9. Gently rock the toner cartridge from front to back to make sure the toner is distributed evenly.

  10. Insert the toner cartridge into the printer, and then close the toner cartridge door.

  11. Reconnect the power cord, and then turn on the printer.

Clean the electric contacts on the toner cartridge

  1. Open the toner cartridge access door.

  2. Remove the toner cartridge from its slot.

  3. Use a lint-free cloth to wipe the toner cartridge contact (E-label) on the top left of the toner cartridge.

    NOTE: 

    Coffee filters work well.

Hi

 

This is a firmware update issue as HP deliberately alter the firmware to prevent use of third party cartridges.

It happened to me and I have fixed it via

[Content removed]

 

The software rolls back the firmware to the working version. If it works do not touch it scenario

 

There are also instructions on the site on how to fix the printer to not automatically update the firmware.

 

I have run the software and disabled firmware updates and mine is back to full working order.

 

Try it IT  WORKS

 

Regards

 

Gary

Same issue happened to me after latest firmware update.   Unfortunately HP removed your link to the fix.   NOT HAPPY with HP

HP Recommended

Same problem with cartridges no longer work - message Supply Problem - after performing update.  I have seen previously that you can send a fix for this.  Please do so if possible - this is one of 5 machines we have (though the only one where I am) and I don't want to risk this happening elsewhere. AND I DO NEED TO PRINT MATERIAL FOR WORK

What absolute A**Holes! I will never buy an HP printer again their cartridges are 5 times the cost $260.00 vs $50 from 3rd parties.  I rather spend the money on a different printer at $260. Well Done HP!

Can you send me the fix that was removed?

Hi Gary can you send me a link at [personal info removed.] these people are knumbskulls and ripping us off with their BS issues.

#1) that is NOT the same printer

#2) No, none of your techniques help. 

#3) can you actually provide a working solution?
