I purchased a HP office jet pro 9020 on Amazon a few months ago. Printer worked great. Then I found out 964 ink that came with it is no longer manufactured. HP website instructions are to use 962 ink. So I purchased from office depot and I get the incompatible ink error.
The printer power on/off does not work. Reset the printer does not work. HP Smart still does not recognize 962 ink. It still states 964 ink as only compatible.
I saw a youtube video telling me to enable bidirectional support, but that is greyed out. signed on as admin and that did not help. Maybe because I'm working remote. the 9020 printer is in Mexico and I'm in the US today.
I love that printer. This is not my fault. But there is not a solution and I should get a refund.
I see reference to a regional reset, but the printer has always been in Mexico and it worked perfectly with the 964 ink. I don't speak Spanish, so Mexican HP support will not work with me.
If there is a 'secret driver software' for the HP office jet 9020 printer, I need this software that clearly accepts 962 ink and states it in the 'HP Smart' icon.
