Deskjet 460
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Basically, my problem is: After installing a new tri-color 95 ink cart, and a black 98 ink cart in my Deskjet 460, it keeps "cycling" and showing a red light indicating a problem with the black ink cart.  I tried a 2nd 98 with the same result.  I THINK, the recommended black cart is a 94, but I'm not sure what the difference is (they look identical).  Is using a 94 instead of a 98 the problem?  (I also have an Officejet 150 Mobile All-in-One printer that DOES take a black 98 and a color 95) I had a spare 98, so tried to use it.  I appreciate any guidance on this issue, and would answer any questions from the community or provide any additional information.

Oops, I made a typo in my previous post: I should have said: Is using a 98 instead of a 94 the problem? Sorry!

Thanks Sandytechy20! I couldn't find anywhere on the printer or the manual the recommended carts, and I had a 98 cart that I use in my other mobile printer (Officejet 150 all in one) and figured it should work in the 460, but no.  So on a whim, I bought a 94, and viola!!! It works fine with a 94 & a 95 cart.  Thanks!!
