I can't go to my printer. It will not recognize the ink cartridges are full!

My epson 7400 has not been used for 6 months. I cleaned and aligned the nozzles and it used 2 full cartridges. I installed new ink cartridges, and he says they are empty. Now none of the buttons work, it does not seem to recognize all commands. What should I do?

Hello

Turn the printer off

Unplug the printer from the computer and the wall outlet

Reinstall the cartridges

Support all the ink cartridges until they snap into place to make sure that they are well housed

Close the cartridge cover and push it down until it snaps

Close the scanner

Press on the Stop button to start loading of ink. It takes about 2 minutes.

When the the light stops flashing and remains on, the ink load is complete

Caution:

Never turn off the Epson Stylus CX while ink is in charge or you'll be wasting ink.

If the ink light flashes, press on the Stop button and lower all the cartridges safely

Manually clean the print heads

Plug the printer into the wall outlet and the computer.  Turn it on and try printing again.

  • printer will work if the color cartridges are ink

    I have an Officejet 4620. My computer says all the ink cartridges are out of ink. I can always print in black. I need to replace the color cartridges?   The printer uses individual cartridges for red, blue and yellow cartridges. Color will be printed in blue and yellow only, so I guess there is little color left.

    I usually do not need color copies and I have another Copier.

    Hello @Connsu,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I would like to help you today with your color cartridge application today. Because your printer uses four cartridges: HP 564 black, HP 564 Cyan, Magenta 564 HP and HP 564 yellow, if one or all of these color cartridges are exhausted replace them to continue using the printer. Your HP Officejets ink system is designed to print when have all ink cartridges. A little ink in each cartridge is used for maintenance and maintenance tasks completed by your printer to keep the print head system in your printer in good working order.

    The print head is the part that the cartridges will fit. It controls the "reading" of the cartridges and put the ink on the page. If the printhead is not able to perform regular maintenance, due to depleted cartridges, there is a chance that the mechanism of the print head gets dirty. If the printhead is damaged in any way a whole unit replacement may be necessary. For more information about using ink please click here.

    In the future, if you mainly print in black from the computer, you can set your printer driver to use black ink only. Normally when you print from your computer files will be sent to your printer as "images". If your printer "thinks" it prints an image file that ink color will be used to enrich the black ink. If you don't want that to happen, you can enable grayscale printing option.

    • How to set grayscale in Windows:
    1. Click on the Start menu
    2. Click on devices and printers
    3. Right click on your printer and select Printing Options
    4. Click on features or Advanced
    5. Select the Grayscale dropdown and replace Black Ink only
    6. Click apply and OK

    If you ever want to print in color that you just open the document to print, click Properties in the print dialog box and change black ink only on OFF. This setting only will change to print one job and will return to black ink only for future jobs.

    • How to set levels of gray on Mac:
    1. In the software application, click print
    2. Select your printer
    3. Click Paper Type/quality menu
    4. Click the triangle next to Color Options
    5. In the color menu, select Grayscale or black & white
    6. Select the printing black only ink cartridge
    7. Click print

    Please let me know if the information provided solves your color cartridge problems. I look forward to hear from you!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 more: printer will not recognize this yellow cartridge has been refilled.

    The printer would not print because the yellow cartridge was totally exhausted.  I had all the colors of three cartridges filled at Costco and reinstalled the printer.  Still not printed - he continues to say the yellow cartridge is completely empty and must be replaced.  How can I do recognize that this cartridge has been refilled?

    Replace all cartridges per HP cartridges to see if it solves your problem. If so, suspect that the reloaded cartridges were damaged by Costco.

  • Cannot use my printer Officejet 4635 to the Mexico. Printer does not recognize the new cartridge.

    I moved my printer in Mexico City, HP Officejet 4635. It uses #61 cartridges. I was told that the 61 in the United States is the same as the #122 to the Mexico. However, the printer say it does not recognize the cartridge.

    Can someone give me some advice?

    Hi artist1234,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    Why the printer does not is because the unit is not regionalized for this part of the country.

    To get the printer to work, you will need to contact HP Total Care so that a representative from HP can regionalize the printer for you.

    If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836.  Seeing that you are in Mexico, please click here to access the information page you need.

    Thanks for your time.

    See you soon,.

  • D7360 does not print in "Black Only", unless the color cartridges are also not empty

    I try to print a document in grayscale mode with Photosmart D7360 printer.

    In the Print Setup dialog explicitly checks the possibility of using 'Black Print Cartridge Only'.

    The printer refuses to print, in saying:

    «The following ink cartridges are empty: Light Cyan.» Replace the ink cartridges to resume printing.

    "The printer doesn't have enough ink to ensure printer health. Empty ink cartridges need to be replaced to resume. »

    This means that even if it does not use the color cartridges, each of them must be non-empty when the printer is in operation?

  • HP Envy 4500: Mac running El Capitan will not recognize the HP Envy 4500 printer more

    Last week I was able to print to my HP Envy 4500 to my MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, both running El Capitan.  However, when I went to print today, no computer cannot find my printer.

    I tried everything I found on these forums of discussion... the network reset, feeding all turned off, turning off iPv6, etc. anything.

    I have a USB cord used to print today and when I went in the connected USB printer utility, I could select Configure the wireless, but again, make the message: not accessible device.  It notes the wireless network, the settings were downloaded successfully on my device, however, your Mac could not locate the device on the network.   My Mac is both connected to the same wireless network.
