I have an HP Deskjet 2632. I usualy use the normal size 304 printer ink cartridges which work fine but I replaced the black ink with anremanufactred XL cartriage and it just wont accept it. Does this printer not support the XL ink cartridges? Ive also looked and ive seen the microchip dots on the cartridge has more dots and a different shape to
Any kind of help with this would be great
Thank you

Clean the electrical contacts

Wait until the carriage stops moving before you continue.

Remove the ink cartridge indicated in the error message from its slot, holding it by its side.

Do not touch or try to remove the copper electrical strip.

Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water, and then clean only the copper-colored contacts on the ink cartridge.
