Hi @indotech,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

Let's troubleshoot the issue with your HP Ink Tank 315 printer. 

 

Here are some steps you can follow:

 

Check Cartridge Installation:

  • Ensure that the cartridges are properly installed. Remove the cartridges and reinsert them, making sure they click into place.

Clean Cartridge Contacts:

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it.
  • Remove the cartridges.
  • Use a lint-free cloth or a cotton swab lightly moistened with distilled water to clean the electrical contacts on the cartridges and inside the printer.
  • Allow the contacts to dry before reinserting the cartridges.

Reset the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
  • Wait for about 60 seconds.
  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Check for Protective Tapes:

  • Ensure that all protective tapes or covers have been removed from the new cartridges.

Update Printer Firmware: Update the firmware on an HP printer

  • Ensure your printer firmware is up to date. You can check and update the firmware through the HP Smart app or the HP website.

Perform a Hard Reset:

  • With the printer on, disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Wait for at least 60 seconds.
  • Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet and then reconnect it to the printer.
  • Turn the printer back on.

If the problem persists, there may be an issue with the new cartridges or the printer itself. In such a case, consider the following:

Try Another Set of Cartridges:

  • If possible, try using a different set of cartridges to see if the problem is with the cartridges.
