HP Photosmart C4480: problem HP Photosmart C4480 print cartridge

Tried to change ink cartridges, but they continue to fall.  Never a problem before. They snap, and then falling forward again. Tried to get the old empty ones and they did the same.  That they are really expensive, I can't go out and buy two others to try.  Not sure if the printer is broken or the cartridges. Help!

  • Problem installing HP Photo Print Cartridge in my HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one 99

    Simply, I can't understand how to install this cartridge. I think I am following the rules of installation, but it do not go and stay. Now I see that there is an extra room in the box of the cartridge. Just to say AF Ref. 5064-4593 and t here are no instructions except a barely visible figure on the side. It looks like a wagon load of addition for the actual print cartridge. Am I supposed to put in some way as well into the printer?  I could not find the visuals showing how to do this.

    I thought that I should use the 99 cartridge, but maybe wrong that my interpretation of another answer is correct. That said to use it with a different print cartridge that my current 74XL. Even if I do not receive the second correct cartridge, I still need to know how to get the 99 in the printer, if I am to use it.  According to online HP and the HP print cartridge box, this 99 cartridge is compatible with the printer.

    Thank you.

    A few things:

    The extra room is a "cellar" it is used to store the photo cartridge (or the balck cartrdige when the photo cartridge is in the printer).   This keeps the open cartridge do not dry out.

    The #99 cartridge replaced the black cartridge, it is used with the color cartridge.  Make sure you try to put the #99 cartridge into the slot using the cartridge #74 black, not the location of the color.

  • HP Photosmart 8450: Printer cartridges

    I have a HP Photosmart 8450 printer, which currently has 3 cartridges in it - 97 HP, HP 99 and 100 HP.  I have trouble finding the 100 HP cartridge, which is a gray Photo cartridge.  I do NOT use this printer for printing photos - I just use it for ordinary printing.  My question is "Is there another cartridge that I can use to replace the 100 HP?"

    Thank you!

    The 100 cartridge is used only for photo printing.  If you do not print photo I suggest remove the cartridge 100 and leaving this space blank.  For the best economy printing on plain paper, you will want to replace the cartridge 99 photo with a black cartridge 96 as well.

  • e-All-In-One series C410: HP Photosmart - black print cartridge produces only "ghost image".

    The black print cartridge produces a ghost image.  I installed a new cartridge with the same results.  The photo and 3 color cartridges cartridge are all ok.  I also introduced "clean printhead" and ran a "print quality report", where black could not appear in the report.

    Dragon fur, I rechecked possible solutions in your response, and after a new test of everything that I had already done, I noticed an alignment test.  That was the problem.  I tried to clean the print heads, as a last resort, on my 4 year old printer.  Solution: I bought a new printer.

    Thank you for your wonderfully detailed answer.

  • HP Photosmart D110 print cartridge incompatible

    I bought a new cartridge black today and when I installed it, I got an error message saying "Incompatible print cartridge". He says refer to the status screen on the computer, but it is not a. I put the old cartridge back in and I have no problem but there is no ink to print. I installed the once many new, reset the printer, cleaned the contacts, tried some troubleshooting and I even downloaded the updated driver. Nothing has worked. Just make the cartridge to where I bought it, or is there something else I can try?

    Thank you for your response.

    I had already read and followed everything on the document you provided. I have to go to the retailer, I bought and exchange it. I made sure that the new cartridge was not the same dates as the first. I installed it and it worked fine.

    Again, thank you for taking the time to answer.

  • Photosmart 7525: Printer cartridges

    I bought a set according to market my local bestbuy printer cartridges and it seems that for some reason any, my printer does not print text documents, I went to costco and bought a new set of cartridges hp every 5 and I was wondering if it was possible save the ones I bought from bestbuy may try again at a later date like throwing $ 50 is not a way I want to start it seems to print photos fine but the text documents I get black spots on a single page and a second blank page so I want to try a different set of ink and see if that fixes anything

    I would stay on the cartridges, but it seems that I've lost the receipt and I just bought HP new ones and they work great... Maybe it was an empty photo cartridge that was the guilty al along

  • Officejet 4315 slow printing problems after replacing the print cartridge

    my printer was working fine until I replaced my print cartridges. I replaced the black with color with 22 and 21.

    my test page prints fine and sometimes my impression is very good. but often, my impression is extremely slow. can't understand why it is slow sometimes and other times it is nice. do not have this problem until I replaced my print cartridges.

    I found a post on slow printing and I tried the different steps. don't know what the issue is. Thank you

    Real new ink installed HP?

    You could remove the cartridges, reset the printer and turn on without the cartridges, and then reinstall the cartridges. Eliminate any power surge strips or extensions, plug the unit directly into a wall outlet.

    When you mention slow, how to slow down? How long to print from the computer exactly? How long for a print job initiated from the printer exactly?

  • Photosmart C5550 printer cartridges

    Printer comes with 99 and 100 cartridges. Also uses cartridges of 74/75. Unable to find explanation in the manual. HP Chat room tells me to use 74/75, switch it to 99 for the best color. Doesn't sound right. I have to keep the 4 available? My impression is text, but I would like to be able to print the best quality photos occasionally. Anyone know the answer?

    This can be simple or complex depending on your threshold of 'best' of the photo.  I will describe the different cartridges and their uses and then suggest some options.

    The 74 cartridge is a pigmented black ink.  It is used for printing text and some plain paper inkjet graphics paper.  It is not compatible with the glossy photo paper and it is not used for printing on these materials.  This will be the best choice for printing text.  Depending on your printing needs the 74XL may be a better choice, it contains about 3 x the ink at 2 x the price.

    The 75 cartridge is a cartridge color tri containing inks cyan, magenta and yellow dye based.  It is suitable for printing on paper or ordinary photo media and can print photos respectable.  When you print graphics that the 75 cartridge can be used to print in black in some modes because the point for the 75 cartridge size is smaller that the 74 75 can produce more nice graphics in greyscale as the 74.  There's a cartrdige 75xl that may be more eocnomical according to your printing habits.

    The 99 cartridge is a photo cartridge and is exchanged with the 74.  It contains clear, clear magenta cyan and black photo dye based inks.  Unlike the 75 99 cartridge can produce the range of colors by itself, it must be used with a 75 color cartridge.  When you print the photo 99/75 combination can give better results in the light areas sugh as faces and sky tones.  The results can be less grainy than when you use the cartridge 75 by itself.  Then the 99 can be used to print text, it will be a bad choice because the dye based ink is not as good on paper for printing text.

    The 100 is a photo cartridge and is exchanged with the 74.  It contains dye based ink black, grey and light grey.  The 100 cartridge can print print B & w. excellent in itself.  When used with the 75 cartridge it can provide better details in the darker areas than the 75 by itself.

    Then... the appropriate combinations would be the following.  I suggest you print the same photo with different combinations to see if there is a difference and an advantage for a particular application.

    74/75 best text, best for all round impression.  Best on plain paper.  Respectable for photo on photo paper.  Unless you print a photo using one of the other combinations and compare side by side you can think they're perfectly fine.  More economical

    99/75 best for printing photo on photo paper.  Less grain than the combination 74/75, this will be more noticeable in clear areas like the facial tones or sky.  Can be used for the printing of the ordinary, but not really optimal paper for this.

    100/75 best for B & W photo printing on photo paper or improving color impressions.  Perhaps the best detail can the combination 74/75 or 75/99, in particular in dark areas.

    I have a few cartridges 99 and 100, but rarely use while I find the combination of 74/75 to suit my casual photo printing needs.  I see a difference of photos put side by side among the different options, but given one of them autonomous with the fact that it would look fine without a 'better' option to compare.

  • Incompatible error Photosmart 2575 color cartridge

    Hello

    I'm trying to settle a problem with printer Photosmart 2575 of my daughter.

    Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

    Printer: HP Photosmart 2575 (Malay), MY65N1119Q, Q7211L

    She needed a new color cartridge and was sold a 344 HP cartridge, who had told him was compatible with his printer and cartridge replaces the original 342. The problem is rejects him by saying that it is NOT compatible with the Photosmart 2575 printer cartridge. I checked online and note HP 344 cartridge IS compatible. I followed the suggestions on the help page, IE. re-installed the cartridge, cleaned the contacts of the cartridge, etc. without result; the printer always reports that the cartridge is not compatible.

    Replacement of the original cartridge (empty) the printer reports everything in order and try to print. Of course print documents of W & B is very good with the place empty color cartridge.

    Everyone knows about this problem?

    Does anyone know if there is a updated firmware for Photosmart 2575? If it is available I have not found it.

    I have to say that I'm pretty bummed. at nearly £ 30 once, it's an expensive way to discover the recommended HP print cartridge does not work!

    Hi Nermski

    Following the advice of HP, I returned cartridge of my daughter to them for a refund. Maybe you should contact them also?

  • Not compatible HP Photosmart C4480 printer ink cartridge

    HI - first time here - I have a HP Photosmart C4480 printer and have recently installed a new black ink cartridge - genuine HP 350XL - bought in Tesco and already used a few times.  I printed a page today, and when I went to another printing, the printer says that the cartridge was incompatible.  I had not touched the printer between the prints. I tried out both cartridges and resettlement but still get the same message.  Also tried to turn again printer.

    I could understand if there was a problem with the cartridge and it was rejected as soon as I installed, but does not understand why this happens between the printing of pages.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you
