Hi @5442JohnL,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand you are getting the "There is a problem with the supply system" A few things can cause a message on your HP OfficeJet Pro 8715. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
 

1. Re-check Cartridge Installation:

  • Even though you replaced the cartridge, double-check that it's installed correctly.
  • Turn off the printer and open the cartridge door.
  • Remove the cartridge and ensure it matches your printer model.
  • Clean the cartridge contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth. You can also clean the contacts inside the printer where the cartridge sits.
  • Reinsert the cartridge firmly into its designated slot.

2. Clean the Printhead:

Clogged printheads can also cause supply system errors. HP offers automated cleaning options for your printer model. You can access these through the printer control panel menu or HP software on your computer.

3. Update Firmware:

Outdated firmware can sometimes lead to glitches. Check for firmware updates for your HP OfficeJet Pro 8715 on the HP website: Update the firmware on an HP printer

4. Reset the Printer:

If the problem persists, try resetting the printer to factory defaults. This can often resolve software glitches. Refer to your printer's user manual or HP's website for specific instructions on resetting your model.
