@JustinC8, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
When your HP printer displays a "cartridge or account issue" message even after installing original HP cartridges, there are several steps you can take to resolve the problem:
Verify Cartridge Compatibility: Ensure the cartridges you purchased are compatible with your HP 2800 printer model. Incorrect cartridge types can lead to operational errors.
Reinstall the Cartridges:
- Turn off the printer.
- Open the printer's cartridge access door and carefully remove the cartridges.
- Inspect the cartridges and the slot for any protective tape or packaging material that may not have been removed.
- Reinstall the cartridges, ensuring they are seated properly.
Check for Firmware Updates:
- Ensure your printer's firmware is up to date, as this can resolve compatibility issues with the cartridges.
- You can typically find firmware updates on the HP Support Website.
Reset the Printer:
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Wait for about 60 seconds before plugging it back in and turning it on.
Check HP Instant Ink Account:
- If you are using HP Instant Ink, ensure your account is active and there are no issues with your subscription or billing.
I hope this helps.
