So I am a teacher with this HP office jet 8022 printer and have had this issue since November 2020. Each time I try and replace an ink cartridge i get an error message, ink cartridge failure or ink cartridge incompatible. Please help. I have spent over $100 on ink and can't but a new printer.

I am so frustrated. I have had issues with ink not working since November. Each time I put a new HP ink cartridge in the printer it either says its incompatible or needs to be a HP ink. Help please. This is not an old printer, however it just went out of warranty in May 2020. Can I reset the printer? Can I do something? I am a teacher and can not buy a new printer. Please help.

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

Clean the electrical contacts

  1. Open the door to access to the cartridges.

  2. Wait until the carriage stops moving before you continue.

  3. Push the tab on the cartridge indicated by the error message, and then pull the cartridge from its slot.

       CAUTION: 

    Clean the cartridges one at a time. Do not leave a cartridge outside of the printer for more than 30 minutes.

It did not work. I have had the same issues with each of the blue and yellow cartridges since November.
