Hi @robhob20,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

That error message usually indicates an issue with either the printer’s firmware, the cartridge's chip, or a problem with the printer’s ink system. Since you’ve tried multiple black cartridges, let’s go through some troubleshooting steps.
 

Check Cartridge Authenticity

  • Ensure the black ink cartridge is a genuine HP cartridge and is compatible with your printer model. You can verify authenticity using the HP Smart app or HP's website.

Clean the Cartridge & Contacts

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it from power.
  • Remove the black cartridge.
  • Use a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with distilled water or isopropyl alcohol to clean the copper-colored contacts on the cartridge and the corresponding contacts inside the printer.
  • Let it dry for a few minutes before reinserting the cartridge.

Reset the Printer

  • Turn off the printer and disconnect it from power for about 5 minutes.
  • Plug it back in and power it on.
  • Reinstall the cartridge and check if the error persists.

Update Printer Firmware

  • Go to HP Support and download the latest firmware update for your printer.
  • Install it using HP Smart or via a USB-connected computer.

Try Another Black Cartridge (If Possible)

  • If you have another new HP black ink cartridge, try installing it to rule out a faulty chip.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
