• 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.

• expired ink cartridges

  As a small community group, we have received a grant to install a hp printer and a supply of cartridges for same. We have a stock of unopened cartridges the printer tells us are expired. At £35 we are reluctant to renew even as it would be more economical to replace the printer, and certainly not a HP one. Can anyone suggest a solution

  Business Inkjet 2800 is designed for lots of printing, where the cartridges with a duration of 4 years should not be a problem.  For the use of the light you would be probably more pleased with a printer with integrated print heads and ink supplies like the Deskjet 6940.

• Service of any necessary repairs as a result of using expired ink or HP Photosmart D7260 printer

  I use Windows 7 64-bit.  I changed two inks this morning, a black and a blue.  Blue ink was very good.  Black ink error said, "Printer service for necessary repairs as a result of the use of ink expired."  I bought all the colors of the ink at Staples only a couple of months.  So, I hated to do it, but I opened another black ink and installed, and I get the same message.  Because of this message, I can't print anything, and I can't get beyond the error.

  Hey there jverzola,

  According to this article:
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01427780

  Try to remove and replace the cartridges in place until the error disappears. You can also check if there is dried ink or any debris in there that could cause a problem.

  I hope this helps!

  Hi @peanut7949,

  I believe, with this model, you can continue printing with inks has expired. That being said, if you replace only the black ink and continue to print with others (expired), it should be fine.

  Here's what I could find on the subject:

  Each ink cartridge has an expiration date to protect the printing system and ensure a good quality ink. The cartridge expiration date appears on line 53 of the free test report.

• Printer cartridge has expired

  I can't print anything without getting a message that the cartridge has expired.  (Officejet j145) I replaced the black and color.  I have reset the printer.  She still does not print, even a document in black all without saying the color cartridge is expired.  Are both of these cartridges HP original {cartridges right out of the box and the cellophane.  In my view, the printer should not refuse to print in such cases.  Is there a way to get around this?

  YES!

  I finally solved this problem.  Details here:

• Entire cartridges, machine says expired

  HP 3210. All cartridges are full, says black cartridge has expired. What is the work around? Don't want to buy the new cartridge. Should be able to use even if slightly expired ink. Need help.

  This HP MODEL 3210 is an extra in the user guide where a "work around" at the end of the ink is possible. Acknowledge that damage possible plumbing is an unknown issue for me. Fact is that 3210 would not print, but it copies, so made some copies. Subsequently 3210 is printing. Please note in the list of machines in the user guide where "bypass" is possible. Response must respond to this announcement first, explain, and then provide the caveat. Incorrect to say there is no work around 3210 and, presumably, other models listed. There is a separate list of models that do NOT have around.

• Photosmart C8180 - rechipped ink cartridge?

  I bought a black cartridge from an Amazon seller who has been described as 'Original HP363 rechipped to prolong life'.  When it arrived I noticed one) was not in the original packaging, b) even if it is the right size and shape it said 177 and 363 not on it, c) there is a date of expiry of 2008 and d) there is what appears to be a magnetic chip glued to it.

  I filed a complaint with the seller refund request and asked them 3 times to explain what means 'rechipped' and the only answer I get is that ' it's new and will work, honestly!  I'm not ready to put an expired cartridge that has been recycled in some way my new printer and risk of damage / loss of the guarantee.  The last e-mail from the seller included a excerpt on the site of HP (which I can't find on the site) and which stipulates that the expiration dates are not important and can be overridden

  Can you please explain to me what means "rechipped" and give an opinion on this situation.

  Thank you very much

  It would seem that you have purchased a cartrdige of ink which took its 'chip' changed to maybe change the date, the type cartrdige, and/or other information.

  The 177 cartridge is similar to the cartrdiges 363, 02 and 801 for the different regions.  Cartrdiges from one region will not work in a printer designed for a different region.  The chip may (or may not) have been changed to usurp a 363 cartrdige.

  What about would be the expiration date.  Your printer has a fixed (permanent) print head, replaceable ink supply and piping that connects the two.  There are dates that indicate the expiry date of the cartrdiges encoded in the chip and the printer normally refuses to use the supplies after that date.  (This is to protect the printer ink has become thickened because of the evaporation of the water over time.  Thickened ink may butcher in the print head or 'plumbing '.  To see here that says in part:

  HP does not guarantee the quality or reliability of the ink has expired. Service or repairs required as a result of using expired ink is not covered by the warranty.

  Personally I would not use a dubious cartrdige, expired in a printer with permanent print heads.

• OfficeJet j145 all-in-One black print quality deteriorates

  When printing of plain black text (ie. text in a Word document) deteriorates print quality.  Black text seems to be more than a dark shade of grey/purple.  If the printer does not receive heavy use I have never had to change the printheads.  I ran a few tests provided in the User Guide and have never got the message "Change print heads" appear on the printer as indicated in the User Guide if I needed a replacement.

  Is this sounds like I'm needing a new printhead black anyway?

  Thank you-

  Thanks for the post of Bob.  I ran the test report and the ink levels seems to be ok; expired ink cartridges are June 2010 so we are ok.  The printhead of the report information section displays status = OK for the printhead (cyan, magenta, yellow and black), however the rectangular box above the black status area washed out looks like at best.  The print heads have been installed 30/04/2003.  I'll replace the print head back and see if things improve.

  Thank you once more for the information; I really appreciate it.

• Print photos too red

  I am running Windows XP. I've tried everything. Photo cartridge shows that it is not empty. Tried to reinstall the software, update drivers, different papers, disconnect, restart, heads of cleaning cartridge, realign and various settings of the printer. It prints too much red when I choose grayscale. Help, please!

  Linda, if you follow these steps, then you're already ensure the longevity of your cartridges. HP cartridges have a duration of 1 to 2 years. However, if your cartridge is really expired, HP cannot guarantee the integrity of the printout made with these cartridges.

  Why the instructions regarding the removal and replacement of cartridges expired is crucial is because expired ink can damage your entire ink system and cause permanent damage to the printer.

  My recommendation would be to replace the cartridges expired with genuine HP cartridges, not completed as soon as possible.

  I hope this helps!

• E14 ACER: EXPIRY DATE OF CARTRIDGE IN HP PHOTOSMART C5280 ALL-IN-ONE

  HOW CAN I REPLACE EXPIRED INK CARTRIDGE IN THE PRINTER ALL-IN-ONE PHOTOSMART C5280 HP?

  Hey @mmaxxor,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you are looking for a way to override the expiration date for all-in-one printer, HP Photosmart C5280 ink cartridge. I want to offer you information about expiration dates.

  Expiration dates can be reset on cartridges. But expired cartridges should work correctly in your HP Photosmart too long that the cartridges have been installed on your printer before expiry. If you bought new cartridges that have already expired they likely won't work in your printer and there is no replacement for that cartridges are expired. If this is the case, you may want to consider bringing back them to the store or speaking with our Technical Support phone queue to explore additional options.

  If you had a cartridge installed in your HP Photosmart camera and would use very well and at random, to get the message that the cartridge has not expired, you should be able to hit OK on this message and continue using the printer as per normal.

  Please let me know if the information I have provided solves your problem. Good luck!
