940c print cartridge question

Hello!  The print cartridge is flashing on my 940 c and so the printer does not print.  I installed new color and black cartridges for only this problem - no solution.  I pulled out, put them back and waved them, open the cover, closed the lid... all I can think.  I watched the previous answers to questions like that and have made sure it is plugged directly into the wall. I looked at the guide to what the lights mean on the HP website, but can't seem to find a solution that works.  I got a call from the ink on with the last cartridges installed (not sure what cartridge was the culprit - they look very good, just black ink everywhere else)-ink got everywhere inside the printer when it was stored for a period of time.  I'm almost certain that this is what is complicate measures here.  I cleaned all surfaces I can reach (on a q - Tip rubbing alcohol), but that did not stop light either. Thoughts before I declare patients dead?  Thank you!

That the users of the water-based ink printer, clean with water!   Clean the contacts in the transport and on the ink cartridge.   I still have parts for this model amd probably still a whole unit in my basement.

  • C4180 all in questions a printer cartridge

    I just tried to mount the photo ink jet cartridge specially bought from HP, so I can begin to print my own photos.

    I have normally 1 x black and 1 x colour - that will work perfectly.

    The only place where the new Inkjet Photo will fit is in the right section, but it only prints black and white-it is does not fit in the left at all and the printer telling me must be in the left hand, but does not correspond to...

    I tried to keep in the ink jet color normal on the left + the new photo on the right, but it was a right mess

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hi dunworking,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see by your post that fits the photo cartridge to replace the black cartridge but it will print in black and white. I can help you with that.

    What is the number of cartridge, you have for the color photo cartridge?

    Make sure that it does not show 100 gray Photo cartridge.

    Color and black cartridges should be 92 and 93.

    The Photo cartridge should be 99.

    The gray Photo cartridge should be 100.

    This information is provided by the manual on page 17.

    HP Photosmart C4100 all-in-one series.

    The slot for the print cartridge print cartridge three colors is on the left side.

    The slot of print cartridge for the black print cartridges and photo are on the right side.

    If there is anything else I can help you with just let me know.

    Good day.
    Thank you.

  • How to solve the Message "Incompatible print cartridge".

    Hello everyone

    Have you ever received the message "Incompatible print cartridge"? This may be caused by defective cartridges, dirty cartridge contacts, or by using the wrong cartridges for your printer or the region. If you get this message after moving to another country and using a different HP ink you will need to call HP support and ask them to explain how to change the region of your printer.

    If, however, you have not moved and you get this message with a new cartridge or current a little troubleshooting can be made. There is an article and the youtube video to help you to solve this problem, they are two excellent tools for troubleshooting. If the steps do not resolve your problem that make sure you try a different cartridge because it helps to isolate the problem to the printer or cartridge.

  • 6600 HP all-in-one: 6600 printer cartridges need to be replaced as often

    The color on this printer cartridges need to be changed all the time and I do not print in color.  So when I'm ready to print something it will not print in black only.  Can I replace the cartridges in black and use black only?  Black doesn't last for long either but...  Very disappointed with this printer.  Had the impression that I could print in black only when other lack which is not correct.  It cost me more money to replace the cartridges what it would cost to buy another printer, which I am looking in now.  I buy cartridges very long service life also.

    Thank you

    Thanks Gemini02
    I have asked questions about this at Best Buy and I was told the same thing. Unfortunately, it can't be avoided as you say. It is very expensive and as I said, I'm looking to buy a new printer, a laser printer this time.
    Thanks for the confirmation on my question.
    Hope this also answers Betsy2 question.

  • Print cartridge missing or not detected C4585

    Hello

    I have a photosmart C4585 printer all in one, for a long time, I used hp cartridges-it worked fine until recently when the "print cartridge missing or not detected" message appeared.  I Googled it and found a video on YouTube showing how to remedy this with a particular sequence, which only worked to a print.  Then the error message returned.  I replaced the "truant" cartridges with HP authentic and still always get the same error message.  I am at a loss to know what to do, really can't afford a new printer, my daughters will be lost without a printer for homework!  Please can someone offer me advice?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Vinia, I understand that you use genuine HP NO ink cartridges. Usually, this creates a problem at the beginning. Even if you were able to print before, using the correct cartridges is the best way.

    Here is a link that might help with this problem.

  • How to disable the annoying message "Printer cartridges no HP installed" on Windows 7?

    How to disable the annoying message "Printer cartridges no HP installed" on Windows 7? I have a HP Officejet 6500 has more and there is a way to disable those annoying pop ups. First of all, why HP can't fix their software to display only 1 message. If I turn on my printer, I get about 5 popups when the 3-minute delay. Is - this embarrassing? You bet, I do not turn off my printer more to avoid these messages. There must be a registry entry that I can delete gladly. Ideas? If you are an employee of HP, please do not give the Conference on "genuine cartridges" and how you take care of your printer. I've had my printer for 7 years and never had a problem with cartridges not HP. They are all made in China.

    This isn't a bad idea, but this does not resolve the issue. There are many complaints from customers about these annoying messages. All HP needs to do is to say to their developers to add a function to disable this feature. What is a marketing thing? Yes, it's a boring marketing question that should really be fixed. It's like Windows display constantly that your device drivers are not fully tested. Of course, when a customer buys a product at a lower price, they take this risk. I hate to be notified 365 days a year that my cartridges are not authentic.

  • Black print cartridge registers is not on the right side of the page

    CP1215 has developed a weird problem! Recently replaced the black print cartridge (new, original HP).

    Printing a document in BLACK color, this isn't a problem. Crisp and clear impressions.

    Print the same document in color gives completely misaligned recording BLACK on the side RIGHT of the page. The side LEFT is clear!

    Printing CONFIGURATION PAGE confirms the problem. Registration of marks below on the LEFT are perfectly aligned.

    But on the lower RIGHT, all colors are aligned with the exception of black - the black line is much higher and offset printing to the right where it should be. That's why the color prints are all blurry on the right side of the page.

    Calibration several times running, check the drivers etc.

    Any help/advice is really appreciated!

    Hi Gemini02,

    Sorry about the long absence, but was busy with other stuff. More beat troubleshooting according to your last email.

    First of all, a few answers to your questions:

    1. don't know what the problem is. Don't want to start replacing immediately.

    2. all ink levels are more than 80%; Black nine.

    3. all the cartridges are original HP Black has been replaced recently, the other three provided with your printer.

    4. the paper is double-a premium, 80gr

    5 paper is set on the plain. Have you tried with the HP90 and light parameters too.

    After following your instructions of troubleshooting:

    6 printer moved closer to the wall outlet - it's a machine heavy tho!

    7 pressed & held green button. Config and supply status printed pages.

    8. print with other applications (Photoshop, Word, PowerPoint and Adobe Reader).

    Problem persisted. Registration completely to the bottom of the hand right side of the page and the worst in the lower corner straight out.

    Acts of desperation next, pure:

    9 deleted each cartridge, shaken several times on the axis horizontal and then triggered one end while decreasing the other and vice-versa several times. Replaced in the status bar.

    10. Ran HP Toolbox calibration.

    11. test print to Adobe Reader - same document as before. Substantial improvement!

    12. Repeat steps 9 and 10. Further improvement.

    13. Repeat steps 9 and 10 more. Almost no problem checking.

    14. Repeat steps 9 and 10 more. No record of the questions at all!

    Then, to avoid the location and power source:

    15. moved printer in its normal location.

    16 connected the printer to its normal power source - an extension of good quality.

    17. reprinted on the same page. No registration no questions at all.

    I have no idea why the steps 9 and 10 would have such an impact. And why repeating them would improve the print quality progressively until no problems are observable. I have detailed my action here in case they can help someone else.

    I thank very you much for the support and guidance you provided. If you have any idea why the repeated shaking and calibration solved this problem, I would be very interested! Keeping in mind I ran several times previously without success to calibration.

    Thanks again for your help.

  • HP Officejet 6835: Not to recognize new printer cartridges.

    Exchanged a defective HP Officejet Pro 6835 at Costco. I kept the old cartridges and Costco pulled the new printer cartridges and kept them. During the installation of the printer does not recognize the used cartridges. Error message received to use cartridges supplied with the printer configuration. Did not have them. Is gone to town & bought new HP cartridges and install. The printer took over in the same place on the installer. It does not recognize the new cartridges. What can I do? I can't start the installation program. I remove the new cartridges and reinstall them using and get the same message again. She can't get to work, so I'll have to make another 90 mile round trip to Costco to replace this printer.  Any suggestions?

    Doreen

    You will need to install cartridges for initial configuration, Costco shouldn't have removed the cartridges setup.  You can contact HP, they could send replacement cartridges setup or they may suggest that you only contact Costco.

    From a post of Sunshyn2005, contact technical support HP see the following link to create yourself a file number, then call and it can help to expedite the appeal process:

    Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
    Step 2. Enter the product number or select Auto detection
    Step 3. Scroll up to "still need help? Fill out the form to select your contact options.
    Step 4. Scroll down and click on: contact HP options - click Get phone number

    File number and phone number appear, this allows to contact HP.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have some problems with an error light on your PSC 1350 all-in-one printer. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done, this document explains How to solve the blinking lights on the printer.

    If after following the above you still can not clear the error, the printer needs to be replaced. You can contact the HP Support by clicking on this link and fill out the form below to discuss the options based on your warranty.

  • J4580 print cartridge problem: [Tri-Color] refer to the device Documentation

    Well, I'm starting to feel like I knew better, buy another HP printer after dismal luck with two all-in-one before.

    My J4580 already gives me headaches after only 6 or more months of use.

    The unit refuses to print, declaring "print cartridge problem: [Tri-Color] refer to device Documentation to troubleshoot."  Nothing in the help documentation.  The Habs is always 90% full.  Sometimes pulling the Habs and placing back in crazy wil it restarting.  When it restarts, it prints perfectly.

    I tried the ubiquitous "clean the contacts" and other instructions help generic that I saw, but those who were without help.  The "Solution Center (Yes, good)" appears and all ithas is a link to buy more ink (!).

    Someone has an idea?  I'm about to throw it through the window of stores office, given that I can't throw it out the window of HP.

    Thank you!

    Yes * I know * and I'm sorry that I forgot to come back here.  I had a major system crash and I had to reinstall a lot of drivers for my multimedia player, GPS, and printer (!).  As this occurs, the device did not return this error - touch wood.
