Officejet pro 6978

I bought the Officejet pro 6978. In the settings, it say this is a 6970. Is it normal? I have problems with my new cartridges, maybe it's because of that.

Hi,

That is absolutely normal, any software and driver are provided for a whole printer series, 6978 is part of the Officejet Pro 6970 Series.

 

What exact problem do you experience with your new cartridges?

Are those genuine HP cartridge or Non-HP cartridges?

Hi,

Thank you so much for your help. I bought Non-HP cartridges, and try alllllllll the tips people tell on Internet to make it work. But my printer keep telling there is a cartridge problem. With new genuine HP cartridge there is no problem.20190508_100748-1.jpgCapture d’écran, le 2019-05-10 à 10.19.52.png
