Expired HP ink cartridge

One of my HP 02 ink cartridges gives me an annoying error message on the AIO printer C7280 (expired cartridge, do not use, etc.), forcing me to enter 'right arrow' and then 'OK' to continue whenever I turn on the printer.  I checked, and to my surprise, the cartridge has an expiration date of 2010!  I thought I was OK because I got a 'new' replacement, but alas, there was also a 2010 expiration date.  It does not matter where I got these (Costco?), as he was probably a year ago now.  The ink seems to work fine, BTW.  Is my question - possible that I can change something for me to use these cartridges until I noticed quality problems?

There is no way to stop the printer saying that the ink has expired, I'm afraid. In aid of ink expired can cause problems print head, so I wouldn't recommend using it. I do understand wanting. You pay a higher price for it, and it is difficult to get rid of it, just because it has expired. The print head on your printer is not replaceable, which means you need to replace the entire printer if it is damaged. If it were me, I would get new ink, but the choice is up to you to weigh.

  • How reset the warning of expiration of ink cartridge for D6160 on PC W7? This blocks the print jobs.

    I installed D6160 printer under W7 and that you cannot print when messages on cartridges inkt beyond the expiration date have been reset. It's not available under W7 or on the printer itself - to my knowledge. So I unplug the printer and deliver the message on another computer running Windows XP Home edition and after resetting reconnect to my PC W7. It's heavy. A better solution? THX.

    There is no way to reset it in Windows 7. Given that the printer uses an InOS driver to work with Windows 7, there is not all the functionality with XP. To get all the features of the printer, you will need to use with XP. The printer works with 7, you won't get what you had with XP.

  • Photosmart C7280 all in one printer keeps giving me expired ink cartridge warning

    My Photosmart C7280 all in one printer Guard giving me expired ink cartridge warning.  The cartridge has expired, but I want to continue to use it as it still has ink.  Is it possible to turn off these warnings to be boring?  I can't print until I have to recognize them!

    @ CoolBreeze202 - I'm sorry that you are having this problem with the ink cartridges and the ink expiration error message.  You can try to clean the contacts on the cartridge and the contacts inside the machine to ensure that built up on the parts are not the source of the error message. Pages 163 and 164 of the user manual will show a manual cleanup process.

    I would also do a hard reset to the printer to try to clear the error message and return the printer to a known working state. No user settings are lost with a hard reset.  Here is a link that will show you how to do a hard reset on this machine.

  • HOW can I SUBSTITUTE of INK CARTRIDGE EXPIRATION IN HP all-in-one 8600

    HOW can I SUBSTITUTE of INK CARTRIDGE EXPIRATION IN HP all-in-one 8600

    Hi @jfinny,

    I am able to provide you with more information about your printer model 8600 and its ink delivery system.

    Only some models of HP printers supports a substitution.

    If supported by your printer, when you print, you should be prompted to press OK on the printer to continue.

    If you do not get the prompt to click OK, your printer will deal with the similarly outdated cartridge as it does a cartridge missing or empty. It is designed to protect the entire printhead inside the unit.

    You can view more information about these resources:
    Consumable inkjet HP - ink Expiration

    Cannot print when one of the HP ink cartridges is empty

    You can also take a look at the limited warranty for print HP ink and print heads replaceable by the customer of consumables HP inkjet cartridges.

    I found this information in the HP Officejet Pro 8600 - User Guide, but I don't know if it helps at all;

    Used with this printer HP cartridges contain a memory chip that helps with the use of the printer. More, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the use of the printer, which may include the following: the date when the cartridge has been installed, the date where the cartridge of the last use, the number of pages printed using the cartridge, coverage of the page printing modes used, any printing error that occurred and model of printer. This information helps HP design future printers to meet the printing of our customers needs.

    To disable the collection of usage information:
    1. on the printer control panel, press the arrow to the rightand then press Setup.
    2. Select Preferences, and then on cartridge chip information.
    3. press OK to disable the collection of usage information.

    NOTE: If you disable the memory chip's ability to collect information on the use of the printer, you can still continue to use the cartridge in the printer HP.

    I would like to know if there is anything else I can do to help.

    I look forward to hear from you!

    Thank you

  • 8250 incorrect "date of expiration" and "Empty cartridge" message. Ink replaced but still the message.

    I got the expired cartridge message on my Photosmart 8250 for a year or two, for 2 cartridges, even if the cartridges were of the date. Remove one of the offending cartridges and replace immediately seem to do the sorting.  Problem is one of the "expired" cartridges, Magenta, has finally shown as empty and reinstated. I get now both the message expired and the empty cartridge (for all new Magenta). The watch also still message has expired for the cartridge else I have to say is now quite old, but still has a lot of ink in it.

    I gritted my teeth and to purchase 2 cartridges of spare yesterday, one to replace the old "expired" clear cyan and the other to replace magenta of replacement. The clear cyan expired message disappeared but the message re magenta is still show it as being expired, even if the dates printed on the two new magenta cartridges is 2014. I always get the message empty cartridge for both the first replacement magenta cartridge that I bought a few days ago, as well as for the second replacement I bought yesterday.

    I have tried everything I can find mentioned in this forum to solve this problem, but have had no success. I have to assume that the printer has failed, or is there a fix for this problem?

    If you have another cartridge, which could remove the error. You do not have to throw away your existing criteria, just put them in a ziplock bag in plastic and place them in a cool, wet - spot like a refrigerator. Change the cartridges and see if this removes the error message.

    If you can try that let me know and I'll be right back with you!

    Have a wonderful day!

  • Does not work HP C7280 all-in-One re ink cartridge to expire-pressing 'OK' to activate printing

    All-in-One HP C7280: received message that ink cartridge is about to expire. In order to '... continue with this ink' (it has not yet expired), I pressed 'OK', but nothing happened (the message is not 'disappear' from the screen"and I am not able to print. I turned the printer off-and-two times but nothing helped. The "OK" button worked, even if, to lead to the elimination of a message previous concerning a different ink cartridge havingactually has expired.  Suggestions?

    Thanks for the info. I'll try your tactics by chance discovered when the problem recurs. I finally gave in and changed ink cartridges--lost some of the expensive ink HP - as I had to print a document on this printer as the other was not available.

  • Ink cartridge indicated as "expiration" and is obsolete

    OfficeJet Pro K550. I changed the ink cartridge and put in a brand new. The Toolbox shows that it is full of ink but a message appears "change magenta cartridge to expire." The cartridge is shown that 99 percent full, but the printer will not print. Is there something I can do to disable this control process? Thanks for any help.

    Hi Bryan,.

    I tried to reply to your other post, but he failed. Your printer is listed on the Web page which explains expiry of ink as being one that allows to "replace".

    http://www.HP.com/pageyield/en-019/articles/inkExpiration.html?cCode=us&JumpID=reg_R1002_USEN

    The instructions at the bottom of the page show that you can "continue printing without replacing the ink cartridge, by following the instructions on the printer, in the user manual or the timeout message in ink on the screen of the computer."

  • HP 364 vs 564 ink cartridges

    To say that I am disgusted with HP is an understatement.  I bought a printer of HP 6510 of AAFES in Germany in 2012 e.  When the printer ran out of black ink, I went back to AAFES buy a replacement cartridge, only to find that AAFES did not have in stock.  As a result, I bought what I assumed the label was a compatible cartridge of a German bank.  The cartridge in the printer has been labeled 564 and had an expiration date of 02/09/2014; the cartridge I bought, 364 and 2014/02/09.  When I installed the cartridge in the printer, the printer displays "Not compatible ink cartridges."  Finally, in searching the Internet for a solution to my problem, I learned after much research I need to order the cartridge 564 - with the exception of the number is the same as the cartridge 364 - of the United States.  The alternative to this boring solution, which is itself annoying, is to call a support office in the customer country HP for assistance in executing a reset 'regionalisation', then repeat the reset when I come back to the United States.  (HP office of the U.S. customer support does not support HP customers located outside the United States.)

    If ever a company deserved the hard times are slaughtered on HP since the recession, it is HP itself!

    Ok.. So calm down. The next day, I tried again. The reason for this is the printer has worked with the other version of the ink - I don't like scrap dumping a perfectly functional printer for the sake of a communication problem.

    So I called again - this time I called the UK - they then told me that I have the regionalization by the new regional support team... OK - lets give this go another... So I call my local support team, and this time I get my hands on someone who, after an hour, put me through to a 2nd technician level and this guy knows what she does! The dialect of the team, they could also be in India, that I have no problem whatsoever with only as long as we can all understand each other. Anyway, this guy is smart and give me some smart codes and we are in the underground world of the user interface of the printer.

    We spend another hour producing codes and delivery retries to regionalize the system, but unfortunately none that works. I really give these guys there credit because they give... they were very polite, very patient and knew what was going on. Finally, we agreed to call it a day with the promise that someone senior at HP would call and follow-up. 2 hours later, has happened and now my problem is solved.

    Well done guys - it took about 5 hours in total, a family dispute and a lot of patience, but we got there...

    I'm a happy HP customer again.

    Next time if I have problems I might try just directly ask for the 2nd level or by switching to a different 1st level tech tech...

  • XL 564 ink cartridges

    I found these unopened cartridges, purchased at Costco, in my drawer. the original plastic had never been broken. However, it indicates an expiry date of July 2012.

    1. I do not know which printer they go to. can someone tell me?

    2. they do not go to my current printer, they are all good, I can sell them on eBay, or they will be dry?

    Thank you very much.

    This link here is for this type of ink cartridge, if you scroll down you can select 'Compatible printers', and this will give you a list of printers that allows the ink.  Expiry of the ink goes, and if you can sell them or not. Some printers can replace the ink expiration, some cannot replace this message.  Here is a link that addresses the end of ink, this is it, and what printers can substitute this message. I hope this helps.

  • Pre sale question: Officejet Pro X476dw - ink cartridges

    Hello

    I have a couple of pre sale question on the Officejet Pro X476dw - I hope you can help me with.

    I live in Denmark (EU) and in the book loads, it says that it comes with startup ink cartridges (translated from Danish). What these specifications of starter ink contains less ink than normal cartridges don't - if so - no idea how many pages they can produce before they empty?

    As to the number of products: it says CN461A - but to some websites, it is called CN461A #A80 - is this the same printer? And what does the #A80?

    The ink cartridges have an expiration date. What happens after that date: the printer will require new cartridges before it will print anything if it can damage the printer to use ink after the expiry date - or what the print quality is affected?

    Q: it comes with startup ink (translated from Danish). These start ink specifications contains less ink than normal cartridges only

    A: Yes.  It's half in full by a quarter from a new normal cartridge.  Pagecounts are all depends on a lot and what you print.

    Q: it says CN461A - but to some websites, it is called CN461A #A80

    A: the extra #A80 is probably a regional identifier.  Its basically the same printer but built with some regulation is necessary for your region as energy consumption.

    Q: the ink cartridges have an expiration date. What happens after that date

    A: the ink are deteriorating and are more likely to plug in your print heads and contacts.

    Q: the printer will require new cartridges before it will print anything

    A: not necessarily, but it is advisable to listen to your printers of warning messages

    Q: can the printer to be used after the expiry date of the ink

    R: damage, maybe not the best term.  It would cause clogs in the ink system that will require additional support.  When the hooves can not be erased then the printer may need to be replaced.

    Q: or what the quality of the print is affected?

    R: technically Yes, but the quality will be not noticeable in most cases with an outdated cartridge.  The ink won't be able to apply paper and take a nice full round, resulting in a glance more stained on a microsopic level.  Your concern should be on the maintenance of the equipment.

  • HP brand new 4620 Officejet black ink cartridge and it won't print black at all the

    Hello, my printer has failed recently more ink. So I bought a set of cartridges to Staples. I installed them and ran the print head cleaning function. I now have the great color and BLACK NO. I ran to repeatedly print head cleaning function. Its so frustrating to monitor printers the past 2 decades range from reliable gains to unreliable everything in the financial goal. I've had printers since the 1980s, I used printers when they came with the ribbons, who hardly could, although they can indeed dry. At least when they dry out, you would be able to put a new one in and continue. Now that they have designed replaceable print heads (because they were made knowing that they will fail), ink cartridges that are not interchangeable (knowing that once you got with the printer model, you can most likely switch to another brand or model) that uses a DIFFERENT model ink cartridge. All for finacial gain. Between my office and home, I lived 4 printers in the past 2 years. I've been a loyal fan of Lexmark, until my old died and I bought a new, the first thing I noticed was the variable print head and I thought, uh oh, that is going to fail and so said, so done, within 3 months of using the printer, Lexmark sent me 2 print heads and 2 series of inks of replacement free of charge. I still have a set of ink and print head because the LCD screen turned white, lol. Had to throw it away. Eventually move to HP that I believe is made in the same factory as Lexmarks after comparison of many models. Now I have the newest HP to my office and its been so far great and SUPERB ink usage, PREVIOUSLY. I'm almost afraid to know what my future has in store. I know that I fell in a field off-topic, BUT HP, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF yourself. I have now lost $60 on a new series of cartridges and will most likely need a new printer since my warranty has expired. SMH. Bad business!

    A representative has in fact contact me to rectify the situation, even if my unit is out of warranty period. I really appreciate the effort. Kudos to HP.
