Hi @sillybear,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

If your HP ENVY 6452e All-in-One Printer is having trouble communicating with the ink cartridges, you can try these troubleshooting steps.

 

Check Cartridge Installation:

  • Make sure the cartridges are installed correctly. Open the printer and reinsert the cartridges to ensure they are seated properly.

Clean Cartridge Contacts:

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it.
  • Remove the cartridges and gently clean the copper contacts on the cartridges and inside the printer with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Check for Protective Tape:

  • Ensure that any protective tape or plastic covering on the cartridges has been removed.

Update Printer Firmware:

  • Check for any available firmware updates for your printer model. Sometimes, updates can resolve communication issues.

Reset Printer:

  • Perform a reset of the printer. Turn it off, unplug it for about 60 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on.

Check Ink Cartridge Compatibility:

  • Verify that you are using the correct cartridges for your printer model. Incompatible cartridges may not work correctly.

Try Different Cartridges:

  • If possible, try using different cartridges to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is with the cartridges or the printer itself.

Reinstall Printer Software:

  • Uninstall and then reinstall the printer software on your computer. This can sometimes resolve communication issues.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
