Hi @HelpMePlease54,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
Thanks for reaching out! I understand your HP OfficeJet Pro 9010 is displaying the error “The indicated cartridges are not intended for use in this printer” even after installing genuine HP 962XL cartridges and performing a region reset.
Let's try a few steps to try and fix the issue:
- Verify Cartridge Region Compatibility:
- HP cartridges are region-specific. Even genuine HP 962XL cartridges must match the region code of your printer.
- Check the label on the cartridge box and the cartridge access door inside the printer to confirm the region.
- Update Printer Firmware:
- Connect the printer to the internet (preferably via a mobile hotspot).
- On the printer control panel, go to Settings > Printer Maintenance > Update the Printer.
- A second firmware update may be available even after a recent one
- Reinsert Cartridges One by One:
- Remove all cartridges.
- Insert them one at a time, starting with black, and observe if the error appears after a specific cartridge is inserted.
- A single faulty cartridge can trigger the error for all.
- Check for Tamper or Damage:
- Inspect the chip area on each cartridge for damage or residue.
- Clean gently with a lint-free cloth if needed.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
