I bought a set of genuine HP cartridges and one among five is not working (error: "incompatible or damaged cartridge").

The printer is Okay since replacing the damaged cartridge by another new one made the error message disappear.

I lost the reseller's bill and thus cannot have a replacement from the shop (Grenoble, France).

The search tool of the HP support pages rejects the cartridge serial number "cn85e". Nothing else is printed on the cartridge.

I do not find the procedure for a free cartridge replacement directly from HP.

What shall I do ?

All the best

Thank for your answer but, sorry , I do not understand it.

I already tried  www.hp.com/contacthp/ but never reached a web-form.

With Safari
Entering the serial of my printer leads to an empty page
<https://support.hp.com/hp-pps-services/hub/navigation?h_client=s-a-r11839-1&h_product=3793675&h_lang...>
With Firefox
I signed to my account.
The "Printer" page has neither a "drop-down" for the country selection nor a web-form.
I tried the Chat but the virtual agent says it cannot help.
No web-form in the page below too

I phoned and the answer was "We can do nothing for you, since we only support the HP shops. Go to your reseller."

I have in hand the defective cartridge (hence the proof) but, since I have lost the ticket and since, even before the containment, the reseller (Boulanger, 38120 St Egrève, France) does not want to search his data base, the HP guarantee is an illusion.

I understand your concern and I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP.

They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact.

 

Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).

 

If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here:
