Hi @CD0041,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

I understand how frustrating it is to see an E0 error right after installing new ink, especially when you expect everything to work smoothly. Let’s break this down and fix it:

What Does E0 Mean on HP Envy Printers?

On most HP Envy models, E0 (or sometimes shown as E0 and flashing lights) indicates a cartridge problem:

• The cartridge is not detected, incompatible, or defective.
• Protective tape is still on the cartridge contacts.
• The printer needs a reset after cartridge installation.

Step-by-Step Fix

1. Check Cartridge Compatibility

• Ensure you’re using genuine HP cartridges for your specific Envy model.
• Verify the cartridge number on HP’s official page:

2. Remove and Inspect Cartridges

• Turn the printer ON.
• Open the cartridge access door and wait for the carriage to stop.
• Remove the cartridges: 
  • Check for protective tape on the copper contacts; remove it if present.
  • Clean contacts gently with a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with distilled water.
• Reinsert cartridges until you feel a firm click.

3. Reset the Printer

• With the printer ON, unplug the power cord from the back.
• Unplug from the wall outlet and wait 60 seconds.
• Plug back in and power ON.

4. Update Firmware

Sometimes new cartridges require updated firmware: 👉 Official HP® Support

5. Run HP app Diagnostic

Download the HP app and run the troubleshooting tool: 👉 HP App – For HP Printers, Laptops, and Tech Accessories | HP® Official Site

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
