officejet 2620

Hi,

Printer is Officejet HP 2620 in nice condition.

Used as stand-alone (without computer, for copying and printing).

I bought and used a HP301 compatible cartridge b&w as the only cartridge because I do not print color.

I use the printer not often.

The printer worked fine with that cartridge for about a year.

Now: I copied and printed an A4 sheet, it worked fine.

When trying the next sheet the printer screen says; 'detected a not compatible cartridge' (or alike) and blocks any activity.

The only button it reacts on is shutting off....

I took out the cartridge and reseated it without cure.

 

What can I do to solve this problem?

 

Thank you'

Note: I trust the cartridge as it is from a well-reputed shop chain in my country, and declared to be compatible with the original HP301XL.
