Hi @ATHELYMA,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

If you're experiencing a supply system error with the black and blue ink cartridges on your HP printer, despite having removed and reinstalled them, try the following troubleshooting steps:

Troubleshooting Supply System Errors

  1. Verify Cartridge Compatibility:
    • Make sure the cartridges are compatible with your specific printer model. Check the cartridge numbers and compare them to what is specified in your printer manual.
       
  2. Inspect and Clean:
    • Cartridge Contacts: Remove the cartridges and inspect the electrical contacts (the copper-colored circuits or metallic dots). Use a lint-free cloth lightly moistened with distilled water to gently clean these contacts.
    • Printer Contacts: Do the same for the contacts within the printer.
       
  3. Reset the Printer:
    • Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
    • Wait for about 60 seconds.
    • Plug the printer back in and turn it on. This can clear some error conditions.
       
  4. Double-Check Installation:
    • Ensure that the cartridges are seated correctly. They should snap securely into place without forcing them.
       
  5. Update Printer Firmware:
    • Check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer. Updates can sometimes include fixes for error messages.
       
  6. Use Genuine HP Ink:
    • Ensure you are using genuine HP ink cartridges. Third-party cartridges may not work as expected and could cause error messages.
       
  7. Run the Printer's Diagnostic Tools:
    • Use any available diagnostic or cleaning tools within the printer settings or through the HP Smart app.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!
