Hi @Scout71,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand your HP ENVY Photo 7855 printer isn’t recognizing the new HP 64XL Tricolor ink cartridge, here are a few steps you can try before seeking a replacement:
- Check Cartridge Packaging: Ensure the cartridge is correctly removed from its packaging and that any protective tape or plastic has been removed.
- Clean Contacts: Gently clean the copper-colored contacts on the cartridge and inside the printer with a lint-free cloth or a cotton swab dipped in distilled water. Make sure everything is dry before reinserting the cartridge.
- Reinsert Cartridge: Remove and reinstall the cartridge, ensuring it clicks into place securely.
- Reset Printer: Perform a reset of the printer. Turn it off, unplug it from the power source for a minute, then plug it back in and turn it on.
- Update Firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer. Sometimes, updates can resolve compatibility issues. Update the firmware on an HP printer

Gaya 1239, thank you for your suggestions. I followed all, yet the printer still failed to recognize the new cartridge. I purchased another new cartridge earlier today. That unit was immediately recognized upon installation. The new cartridge I installed yesterday is clearly defective. Having purchased it for $56.00 in May 2024 to have on hand when needed, I wish there was a way to return it to HP for replacement.
