@PIZZAPAT, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

HP does not recommend the use of non-HP ink cartridges. It may or may not work. HP cannot guarantee its functionality.

 

To resolve any ink cartridge-related issues, refer to - HP Printer Does not Print and Error Indicates Faulty Ink Cartridge.

 

To buy the compatible HP ink cartridges, you may visit Hp Store

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
