If you're experiencing a low ink error message on your HP 8035 printer despite having replaced all the ink cartridges, here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to resolve the issue:
Reset the Printer:
- Turn off the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the printer.
- Wait for about 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back in and turn on the printer.
Check Installation:
- Ensure that the ink cartridges are installed correctly.
- Open the ink cartridge access door.
- Remove the cartridges and reinsert them, making sure they click into place securely.
- Close the access door.
Clean Electrical Contacts:
- Power off the printer and unplug it for safety.
- Remove the ink cartridges.
- Use a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with distilled water to gently clean the electrical contacts on the cartridges and inside the printer.
- Allow the contacts to dry, then reinsert the cartridges.
Ink Cartridge Status:
- Double-check the status of the ink cartridges through the printer's control panel or software on your computer.
- Ensure that the cartridge part numbers match what is specified for your printer model.
