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.
