Hi @CSADIR,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand the blinking colored cartridge light on your HP DeskJet 2655 printer indicates an issue with the color cartridge. Since you've replaced it with a new one and the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve it:

1. Verify the Cartridge Installation

  • Turn off the printer and open the cartridge access door.
  • Check that the color cartridge is properly seated in its slot. Push it gently but firmly until it clicks into place.
  • Close the cartridge access door and turn on the printer.

2. Inspect the Cartridge for Damage

  • Remove the color cartridge and inspect the copper contacts and the nozzle for dirt, dust, or damage.
  • If dirty, clean the contacts with a lint-free cloth lightly moistened with distilled water or isopropyl alcohol.
  • Let it dry completely before reinserting the cartridge.

3. Reset the Printer

  • Disconnect the printer's power cable while it is on.
  • Wait for 60 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power cable and turn on the printer. Check if the light persists.

4. Check for Non-Genuine Cartridge Issues

  • Ensure you are using an original HP color cartridge compatible with your DeskJet 2655 printer.
  • Non-genuine cartridges may not be recognized correctly by the printer.

5. Update the Printer Firmware Update the firmware on an HP printer

  • Connect your printer to your computer via USB or WiFi.
  • Open the HP Support Assistant or go to HP's official website to download and install the latest firmware for your printer.

6. Test the Cartridge

  • Try inserting the old cartridge back into the printer. If the light stops blinking, the issue might be with the new cartridge.
  • If possible, test the new cartridge in a different compatible HP printer to determine if the cartridge is faulty.

7. Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor HP Print and Scan Doctor

  • Download the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool to diagnose and fix common cartridge issues.

8. Perform a Hard Reset

  • With the printer powered on, unplug the power cable from the printer and the wall outlet.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, then plug the cable back in and power on the printer.
