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.
