Ink Tank Cartridge Failure

[DT03]

Suddenly I have started getting an error of Cartridge Failure. The color cartridge is showing the blinking red dot on the printer.

The HP cartridge is failed or damaged. This message has started showing on the HP application. I have removed the cartridge and reinstalled it but it is still showing me the same issue.

Kindly suggest

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Let's try to reset the Printer here:

Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.

1. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
2. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
3. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
4. Wait at least 60 seconds.
5. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
6. NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.
7. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
8. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
9. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Also, try connecting the Printer to a different wall outlet directly.

The printer might display an error if the printheads are not correctly installed. Perform the following steps for the printhead(s) indicated by the Printhead icons  on the printer control panel.

1. Close the output tray extender, and then rotate the output tray left to stow it in the printer.

2. Open the exterior door, and then open the printhead access door.

3. If the carriage is not visible, press and hold the Black Color Copy button for 3 seconds.

   The carriage moves to the center of the printer.

   

4. Gently push down on the blue carriage latch.

   The blue carriage latch opens.

   

5. Lightly press down on the printhead to release it, and then pull the printhead out of its slot.

   

6. Make sure the plugs on top of the printhead have been removed.

   

7. Make sure the tape from the printhead contacts has been removed.

      CAUTION: 

   Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzles. Do not replace the protective tape on the contacts. Handling these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.

   

8. Slide the printhead at a slight upward angle into the empty slot, and then gently push up on the printhead until it snaps into place.

   

   • Insert the tri-color printhead into the left slot.

   • Insert the black printhead into the right slot.

9. Close the blue carriage latch by pushing down firmly until the latch snaps into place.

   

10. Close the printhead access door.

11. Close the exterior door.

    The priming process continues.

If you have a spare color ink cartridge, try that and see if you still get the error message.

Let me know if this helps.

Unfortunately, it did not work. The blink error showing cartridge failure is still on. 😞

Did you try inserting a different cartridge?

Hi sorry to jump in. I have the exact same problem and have followed your instructions but the issue still persists. Is there any other way to fix this without a different cartridge? I would have to buy another cartridge because I don't have a different cartridge.
