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
If you are encountering a persistent error message indicating a problem with the supply system, despite changing the full set of ink cartridges, follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:
-
Check Cartridge Installation:
- Ensure all ink cartridges are installed correctly. They should be securely seated in their respective slots.
-
Inspect the Cartridge Contacts:
- Remove the cartridges and inspect the electrical contacts on both the cartridges and the printer carriage. Clean them gently using a lint-free cloth or cotton swab slightly dampened with distilled water. Make sure they are clean and free from ink or other debris.
-
Verify Cartridge Compatibility:
- Verify that you are using genuine HP ink cartridges compatible with your printer model. Using non-HP or incompatible cartridges can lead to errors.
-
Reset the Printer:
- Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait for 60 seconds. Then, plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes reset any errors.
-
Check Firmware Updates:
- Ensure your printer's firmware is up to date. You can check for updates on the HP website and follow the instructions to update your printer firmware.
