Hi @CZRegister,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

If your HP printer is not printing after replacing both ink cartridges, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here's a troubleshooting guide you can follow.

• Check Ink Cartridge Installation: Make sure that the ink cartridges are properly installed. Ensure that you removed any protective tapes or covers from the new cartridges before installing them.
• Compatibility: Ensure that the replacement ink cartridges are compatible with your printer model. Using incompatible cartridges can cause printing issues.
• Printer Alignment: Sometimes, after installing new cartridges, the printer may require alignment. Check your printer's manual on how to perform alignment, as this can vary depending on the model.
• Printer Software: Check if the printer software on your computer needs updating. Sometimes, outdated software can cause compatibility issues with new ink cartridges.
• Printer Driver: Ensure that the printer driver is correctly installed on your computer. You might need to reinstall or update the printer driver to resolve any compatibility issues.
• Clean Cartridge Contacts: Ink cartridge contacts can sometimes get dirty or covered with ink residue, preventing proper communication with the printer. Gently clean the contacts on the ink cartridges and inside the printer using a lint-free cloth and distilled water. Make sure they are dry before reinstalling.
• Restart Printer: Try restarting your printer. Turn it off, unplug it from the power source, wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on again.
• Check for Error Messages: Look for any error messages or warning lights on your printer's control panel. These can provide clues as to what might be causing the issue.
• Print Head Alignment: Some printers require manual alignment of the print heads after installing new cartridges. Refer to your printer's manual for instructions on how to perform this.

By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the issue with your HP printer not printing after replacing both ink cartridges.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
