Product: HP Ink Tank Wireless 415
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Can I use the cartridge that I previously installed in the HP Ink Tank 415 on the HP Ink Tank 315? When I installed it in the 315, it was not detected. Is it because it's not compatible, or is there something wrong with my HP Ink Tank 315?

@cimoryssssz, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding cartridge error! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

I understand your concern about using a previously installed HP Ink Tank 415 cartridge in the HP Ink Tank 315, and I’d be happy to clarify this for you.

 

The HP Ink Tank 415 and HP Ink Tank 315 use the same ink system, but they do not use traditional cartridges. Instead, they rely on an ink tank system where you manually refill the ink from bottles rather than replacing cartridges.

 

Why is the Ink Not Being Detected on HP Ink Tank 315?

If your HP Ink Tank 315 is not detecting the ink, it could be due to the following reasons:

 

Incorrect Installation

  • Ensure the ink bottles are properly filled and that the ink levels are sufficient.
  • Check that the printhead is correctly installed and seated properly.

Printhead Needs Resetting

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it.
  • Open the ink tank area, remove the printhead, and reinstall it.
  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Air Bubbles in the Ink Line

  • If the ink is not flowing properly, it may cause detection issues. Try running a printhead cleaning cycle from the printer’s menu.

Firmware/Software Issues

  • Check for any available firmware updates on the HP support page.
  • Try resetting the printer by unplugging it for 60 seconds and then turning it back on.  

Let me know if this helps!

  

Take care, and have an amazing day!
