Hi @aurbiola,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like you're encountering an issue with the Jettron replacement 902XL ink cartridge. When a printer indicates that an ink cartridge is blocked or incompatible, it can be due to a few different reasons. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue:
Troubleshooting Steps:
Check Cartridge Compatibility:
- Ensure that the Jettron 902XL cartridge is compatible with your specific printer model. Even though it’s labeled as a replacement, not all third-party cartridges work seamlessly with every printer.
Remove and Reinstall the Cartridge:
- Turn off the printer and carefully remove the new Jettron cartridge.
- Check for any protective plastic or tape that might still be on the cartridge. Many third-party cartridges have protective seals that need to be removed before installation.
- Reinstall the cartridge, making sure it is seated correctly in the printer.
Reset the Printer:
- Turn off the printer, wait for about 30 seconds, and then turn it back on. Sometimes, a reset can help the printer recognize new cartridges.
Clean Cartridge Contacts:
- Check the contacts on both the cartridge and inside the printer for any dust or debris.
- Use a lint-free cloth or cotton swab lightly dampened with distilled water to gently clean the contacts.
Update or Reinstall Printer Drivers:
- Ensure your printer drivers are up-to-date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause compatibility issues with new cartridges.
- Visit the printer HP website to download and install the latest drivers for your printer model.
Check for Firmware Updates:
- Ensure your printer’s firmware is up-to-date. HP occasionally release updates that can improve compatibility with third-party cartridges.
Verify Cartridge Authentication:
- Some printers have built-in systems to detect and block third-party cartridges. If the Jettron cartridge isn’t recognized, it might be due to the printer's anti-counterfeit mechanisms.
- If this is the case, you might need to contact Jettron or the seller for support or consider returning the cartridge.
Try a Different Cartridge:
- If possible, try another new Jettron cartridge or a genuine cartridge to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is with the specific cartridge or the printer itself.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
