ink cartridge locking mechanism

I've also posted this question here http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Deskjet/HP-Envy-4550/m-p/6474126#.U3NuzU2UOos but have recviced not an answer, so I hope I'm going here.

I have a HP envy 4500 all-in-one and I need to know how to put the ink cartridge locking mechanism on where it should go, you can see on the photos of what I'm talking about you.

Hi, thanks for the photo. If the printer is still under warranty, I would call support. If this isn't the case, I would try taping it back into place. It's just a small clip that makes sure that the cartridge is held in place.

  • OfficeJet HP 5510 all-in-One - door locked - ink cartridge does not open.

    Windows XP Service Pak 3, HP 5510 Officejet, printer, USB connection.

    Won't let me open the ink cartridge door.  So, I can not install new ink cartridges.   It started about 3 weeks after I deleted some other software.   When I touch the door to open it, I get this flashing Error Message - "Door open, door close print cartridge."   (but door is not open, it is locked closed).   .   Printer will print documents correct, my problem is that I can't load new ink cartridges.  I could probably force and break on it to open it, but am afraid my printer does not work after that.  I love it and want to continue using it.

    Three times, on different occasions, I crossed the steps on your website to reset the printer.  They did not solve it.  I opened the back of the printer and looked for any paper jams and tips or debri.   I took can air and exploded all over where I could, but nothing came out.  I don't have a paper jam, when this started.

    Is there a code pin or something to get out, the door somewhere?

    If I force rotating door and breaks, the printer works?

    Problem started on December 14, 2010.

    Thank you

    Hello Oldlady10,

    The 5510 JO has a Center door that goes through the top on both sides. It is possible that the door warped a bit in the middle and create a barrier that will not the door opens without a lot of strength.

    Solution: Hold the door with both hands as you open the door, then take both thumbs and press down on the top of the door to repel the distorted area and then lift the pen access door.

  • do I have to buy color ink cartridges? HP Officejet Pro 8600 more Windows XP

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 more

    Windows XP

    The printer will not print anything (including black and white which is my default setting), at least that I have installed a new yellow ink cartridge.  He says that the cartridge is exhausted and must be replaced before printing.    I have black and white printing color cartridges? Is there a solution? Thank you very much.

    DavidDavid salvation,

    Yes, you will need to replace the yellow cartridge to continue printing. Here's a good explanation of the design of the print mechanism, and what is needed to keep them in good working condition. Your printer is user replaceable print head. With this printer's ink lines that need to be filled in ink in this way that the print head should not be clogged jets in turn cause poor print quality problems.

    Written by Bob_Headrick on the wire note: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Printing-Questions/Officejet-8500-won-t-print-Black-ink-only-if-other-colors-are/m-p/1706581#M67899

    HP, as other printer manufacturers, offers you with permanent print heads printers requiring ink for all colors, avoid the print heads.  HP, like some other manufacturers, also offers printers with user replaceable print heads.  These may of may not require ink in all colors in print, even though damage may occur if the print from the cartridge empty.  Finally, HP as some other manufacturers also offers printers with the printhead into the ink supply.  He is replaced at each change of cartridge.  These printers will happily print with a diet low, empty or many deleted completely same models.

    When you buy your next printer (from HP or from another manufacturer) be sure that you understand what is the type of printer and choose one that fits your needs.

  • Re: C510 black eStation ink cartridge work do not

    Frustrated REEEEEALLY. After screwing around all day trying to get stuff printed I sit tonight with a new black ink cartridge and it's either not all black printing or it is a pale gray. All other cartridges work. Come here, when I click on links to every possible solution nothing opens for me. Before anyone asks, this printer is about 2 or 3 years, but had BARELY BARELY BARELY served. It is connected to an HP computer that is only a few years old with exceptionally light use also. I installed the updates that were available. He printed some photos fine this am, but I'm trying to print documents has put me in such a rage today I had better just go to bed. Warranty is out, so much for spending money on a printer expensive in the hope that it would last. Hope this will be a quick solution. It's really annoying to keep buying new printers all the few years despite them get such use of the lamp

    Hi @Furbio and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I'm sorry to hear you had so much trouble for your C510 to print in black, but I will certainly do my best to give a helping hand

    Because you mentioned that you have questions, open links of the forums, I'll have everything written here in my post, so I apologize in advance for how long this post can get!

    First of all, I would like you to clean the contacts on each cartridge by following the steps below taken from the document a "incompatible cartridge" or "not compatible ink cartridges" Error Message on the computer or the all-in-onefor your printer. "

    Follow these steps to clean the electrical contacts of the cartridge.
    1. gather the following items:
    Clean cotton pads
    Paper clean and lint to rest the cartridges on (coffee filters work well)
    2. press the power button to turn on the printer.
    3. open the cartridge access door. Lift the corner front right of the printer until it locks on the door in the full open position. Wait until the print carriage to move toward the center of the printer.
    4. press the tab on the front of the cartridge to release it, then pull it up and out to remove it from its housing.
    5 hold the cartridge by its sides with the nozzle facing up.
    6 locate the electrical contacts on the bottom of the cartridge. The electrical contacts are four small rectangles of copper metal.

    7 wipe the electrical contacts with a q-tip clean and dry until no debris remains on them. Make sure that no ink or debris from the smear on the transparent window next to the electrical contacts.
    8. place the cartridge on the clean and lint paper with the nozzle upward.
    9 locate the electrical contacts inside the carriage. Electrical contacts are similar to a set of four copper color placed pins to touch the electrical contacts on the cartridge.
    10. clean the electrical contacts inside the car with a clean, dry cotton swab, second.
    * Please do for each cartridge, just to be complete
    11 drag each cartridge into the slot that is appropriate until it snaps. Make sure that you insert each cartridge into the slot with the corresponding color icon.
    12. close the cartridge access door.

    After completing these steps cleaning cartridge, if the problem still persists, I would like to manually clean the electrical contacts on your print head (the part the cartridges sit in inside of). These measures were taken from the replacement print head for your printer paper (with a few changes to make things more clear ).

    Follow these steps to clean the electrical contacts on the print head and inside the printer.
    1. press the power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already selected.
    2. open the cartridge access door. The carriage moves to the center of the printer. Wait that the carriage is idle and silent before proceeding.
    3. to remove the cartridges, press the tab on the front of the cartridge, and then pull it upwards to remove it from its housing. Do this for each cartridge.
    4. to remove the print head, lift the locking on the carriage to the stop handle.

    5. place the print head on its side on lint cloth or absorbent paper and use a fluffy and filtered/distilled water to clean the electrical contacts inside the printer as shown below.



    6 proceed to clean the electrical contacts of the print head as well using the same materials. Just be careful not to touch the contacts with your fingers.

    7. once everything is dry (try not to let the printhead out for more than 10 minutes if possible) please proceed to reinsert the printhead to the printer and gently drop the locking handle to fix it up before you reinsert the cartridges and close the printer.


    When the printer is finished it is maintenance, try to print a report to see if the black is printing printer or if something has changed with the next steps in the document printing to a printer status report for your printer.

    1. In the home screen on the product control panel, press Menu () in the upper left corner. A list of menu options screens.

  • Ink cartridges for OfficeJet 6700

    Yesterday, I bought a printer/all-in-one HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium.  Ink cartridges keep popping out when you put them in, and even when they stay in the machine says no ink cartridge have been installed, then it will not print anything.  The printer print a few documents for me yesterday so I don't know that I've implemented the machine correctly.

    What happens here?  Is there a quick fix for this problem, or do I have a "lemon" on my hands?  If the latter, who do I call to return the printer and get a full refund of the purchase price?  Thanks for your quick response.

    Hey, Ciara - thanks for your quick response.  I spoke at length yesterday a representative of the HP (Tina) customer service - which was fabulous and we both concluded after several attempts installation of the cartridges in my printer mechanism was faulty.  HP spent night news to me I'll install later today.

    The problem is purely mechanical: my printer cartridges were not "snap in" at all, such as the printer didn't know they were there.  They were also burst its place inside the machine each time the cartridge belt moved back.

    If the problem persists with the replacement printer I let you know directly that they have a 'lemon' on your hands with this model HP.  Thanks again for your help.

  • How to take the printer ink cartridges OfficeJet 6700 cart

    I have a printer of HP all-in-one OfficeJet 6700.  When I inserted a new cartridge, there was a false message that says the cartridge was exhausted and cannot print. I tried 3 times with 3 new cartridges with the same result, so I called HP Support. They sent me another printer parts and missing parts had to come from my old printer.  I need to remove the old printer ink cartridges carriage and install it in the HP an Envoy.  I can't seem to understand and am afraid to break if I push or pull to hard.  Does anyone know how to do this?

  • Correct ink cartridge HP Officejet Pro L7555 - was 88XL; can I use 940XL?

    The HP Officejet Pro 7500 series seems to require the HP 88XL ink cartridges, but these are not well highlighted these days.  The 840XL works in the 8000 series and these machines seem almost identical to the 7555 I.  The 840XL works instead of the HP 88XL?  What is the difference between these anyway?

    Thanks for any light you can throw on this issue.

    HP Officejet Pro L7555 requires ink HP 88 is correct. These are not well highlighted these days; is not true. You can always shop online at http://shopping2.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/search-SimpleOfferSearch?PageSize=15&search=&SearchTerm=HP+88 for the HP 88 ink.

    It's the HP 940 ink that works in HP Officejet Pro 8000/8500 series printers.

    The HP L7555 and Pro 8000 may seem identical in some aspects, but not all because many features are added in the new printers. Even ink the printer technology is updated.

    The two sweepers in discussion mechanism different ink and so HP 940 work nto on both.

  • Indication of the level of ink cartridge

    HP psc 2110 - all in a serial number {removed privacy}

    On the printer above is it possible to get an indication of the cartridge of ink on the associated P.C. levels?

    I have an Officejet J5780 all-in-one and can get the ink cartridge on the P.C. associated levels

    It is useful to know the ink levels before the printer locks and will not print when the cartridge is empty.

    Now, I was able to get an indication of the ink levels ink cartridge on my PC with Windows XP operating system.

    By opening the HP Director and at the top of the drop-down list select 'Settings' then in the pull down menu in settings select 1 'Print Settings' followed "Printer Toolbox" and then select "estimated Ink Level" and a cartridge ink levels is displayed.

  • How can a use of an ink cartridge in my deskjet D2680

    [snip] in my opinion:

    What Bob was careful not to say is this: using rerurbished of your printer ink can damage over time.  It is not something "HP".  It's one thing to the printer.  HP did not do that to you to make you buy HP ink cartridges.  You should be able to use any ink of high quality for your printer.

    It is true that HP printers can go a bit over edge into the little "protect themselves".  I suspect the printers used to accept refurbished ink cartridges and printers broke.  HP has been blamed for the printers broken; That is why the change.  (I have no evidence of that, it's just a hint: Why put extra in a printer electronics unless it is necessary?) [snip]

    It is certainly true that a cartrdige defective reman that may damage the printer, often because of the ink dripping in the mechanism due to a bad charge.  The printer as a result of defective third cartrdiges is not covered by the HP warranty.

    It is not true that HP rejects cartrdiges simply because they are reloaded/refurbished.  In general, there is not an ID "this cartridge is rebuilt" on one of the reloaded cartridges.  The printer has several checks it does for a cartrdige when inserted to ensure that it is appropriate for the printer.  These controls may include a combination of the following:

    • Read the electric cartridge ID to ensure that it is the type in the appropriate slot and correct cartrdige.
    • Check the electrical connectivity of the control signals for not too many are open or shorted.
    • Check the electrical parameters of temperature control circuit.
    • Check the expiry date of the ink.  This is done only a very few models, usually those who use the cartrdiges 02 series where ancient ink can cause damage to the permanent print head.

    The tests are not to prevent reman cartrdiges, same tests are run on the HP cartridges and cartridges that do not will be rejected by the original HP printer or remans.

My laptop, printer and telephone are all connected to the same wi - fi and they will print stop no problem but when I go my instantaneous count of ink HP he always tells me that the printer is offline and cannot update to tell me how many page I used. I don't understand why it won't refresh and says that it is offline when it allows to print from my laptop and wireless phone. I wonder if you can give me advice.

    Hey @EMJ-00.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have some questions about the instant the ink program. I can help you with that.

    When you print, the system determines if an instant ink page is printed according to it there a moment cartridge in the printer. If you insert the black cartridge, your only color pages into account. My suggestion is to insert two instant ink cartridges and save the color cartridge for emergencies.

  • Black ink cartridge will not print

    Putting in a new black ink cartridge the printer says it's there and full of new ink but when printing it don't use it. It happened the last time that I put in the black cartridge and I managed to do it finally work but don't remember what I did. Why is this happening?

    With printing black ink is not like that, there are only a few things you can try, and it looks like you did most of them. If the steps described in the following paper the link did not help, then you might make a physical print head cleaning. Bob_Headrick gave the steps to do this in the post below. If none of this does not work, you can either replace the printhead by contacting the support of HP, or you will need to replace the printer. If you are still in warranty, HP can replace the printer without cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link takes you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it and she is treated, it will give you the printers warranty information, a file number and the phone number to call.

  • Problem - has ink cartridge but no printing appears on the paper

    I have a printer of HP Deskjet 4200 all-in-one with a relatively new ink cartridge.  The printer prints white - nothing appears on my paper.  The last time I used the printer (with the same cartridges) was four months ago, and he was fine.  To my knowledge, nothing has changed (parameters, etc.).  I can't figure out how to get the printer to print anything.  I could go out and buy new cartridges, but ones I have is barely used, although only around the age of 6 months.  And the problem seems to be both color and black print (printer has two cartridges) - so I made me think that it would not be a cartridge problem.  Any suggestions on what I might try?  Thank you.

    It is possible that the print heads have become clogged due to sitting for so long unused.  Try to run the three cycles of cleaning of the Toolbox.  If it does not recover the printhead, then place 1 "of very hot water in a cup and watch the nozzles of cartridge in hot water for about five minutes.  When it comes gently dry the printhead on a wet cloth dry contacts of the cartridge, then reinstall the cartridges in the printer, and try another cleaning cycle.
