Envy 5030

Recently installed a brand new genuine HP printer cartridge 304XL (tri-color). When I installed it the screen said 'Genuine cartridge installed' or similar.

 

However, now when I try and print - it gets a little way through and then stops saying printer cartridge error - reinstall it etc.

 

Have done this several times to no avail. Have followed the troubleshooting steps here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03743431/ which haven't helped.

 

The printer is only a couple of months old and the cartridges are brand new. After reseating them in the caddy, the printer recognises them and sees they have full ink. But next time I print, it gets the issue.

Have updated to latest FW, has made no difference.

 

I tried contacting support last week via chat - the case got created, but then a rep didn't come on to the chat for another hour, by which time I'd gone. There's been no follow-up to the case since.

I am having exactly the same problem. Anyone know the answer to this problem.

I ended up dealing with HP Support.

 

They sent me a new cartridge. (Make sure you get the real cartridge, not the Instant Ink version.)
