I don't use my printer very often but when I do the ink cartridge doesn't work and I have to replace it even though it is full.  How do I get it to work without replacing it?

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

Could you explain more about the issue you are facing with the printer for a better understanding?

I understand it is a Windows 10 driver issues and I tried the fix Windows 10 Update Issues, however it didn't work.

Are you able to make a copy? Please try these steps -

 

1) Take out the cartridges.

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Wait for 30 seconds. 

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not to a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

 

Also, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

 

If the copy does not work either, try these steps - HP Printer Does not Print and Error Indicates Faulty Ink Cartridge
