new cartridge printer already more ink

I received an error black printer cartridge on my printer, so I bought a new cartridge 901 and installed.  Seemed to fix the problem and is working fine.  Good print quality.  But now, after only 3 weeks of very irregular use (perhaps 25 copies of the text for the most part) my cartridge is empty.  There seems to be some splashes of ink inside the cartridge area and the pavement below seems to have ink as well.  What is the problem?

The cartridge life will undergo a number of factors.  I suggest the following:

  • Always keep the printer powered by a live outlet.  Power turned off with an external switch causes more ink to be used to serve the print heads.
  • Use draft printing modes or econofast when possible.  It uses about half the ink of the modes normal or best impression and is generally very good for common text printing.
  • Do not use excessive cleaning cycles. (You are OK here already).
  • Review XL cartridges.  They cost about 2 X the price but can deliver 3 X pages.
  • Do not change the cartridge until the print quality deteriorates.  The low ink indicator is a warning that your ink becomes low to give you time to buy a replacement.  You don't need to change the cartridge until it actually runs.

  • Office Pro 8000: Cannot Print/Out of ink error even after installing new cartridge.

    When I tried to use my printer a few days ago, I received an error message "can't Print Can: ink" on the magenta cartridge.  I had used the printer a few days before and had not received a low ink warning.  It seemed suspicious to me that I would have received an empty cartridge error message without having previously received a low cartridge warning.  The cartridges yellow and cyan read 70% complete - all 3 were original cartridges.

    I bought a new cartridge 940XL magenta and installed according to the instructions.  Now, I get a message that the new 940XL cartridge is empty.  I can shake the old cartridge 940 and hear liquid inside.  Obviously, the new cartridge is also complete.  I tried to electric bike, reinstall the software, etc., without change of status.  If I swap back between the 940 old and new cartridge 940XL, they are correctly identified by type on my screen as the 940 or 940XL.  Because of the way the problem is presented, I don't think it is a cartridge problem.

    Of course, problem first awaken on May 8, and my warranty expired on 26 April.  Any suggestions?

    I solved my problem, what was obviously a lack of factory Assembly.  I looked inside my printer with a flashlight in the area where the ink cartridges are installed and found sprayed inside the printer magenta ink.  I disassembled the printer and found that the magenta line had been damaged during installation.  There are four tubes of ink that out by behind the ink cartridges, can do a U turn back toward the front of the printer.  Just after the bend, they do an another elbow top neighborhoods.  It is at this point that I found the damaged magenta line, directly above a screw on the right side of the housing of the ink cartridge.  The lines are in a very narrow passage and are held in place by several guards, moulded plastic.  It seems that the lines have been in place in the guardians, then the screws inserted from the top.  As I said, there is a tight passage, and it would be very easy to damage the line of ink right here if the lines have not been carefully selected to insert the screws when mounting.

    To solve the problem, I removed about 1/4 inch line damaged magenta ink.  I cut the line with a sharp razor, carefully to avoid collapsing the line or causing burrs to the hose.  I then placed approximately 3/4 "heat self-sealing tube on one end of the line of ink heat shrink.  Then I connected to the line with a small piece of plastic tube rigid of the handle with a swab of cotton, which was a perfect fit and comfortable on the line of ink.  Making sure not to cut the tube of ink or cause other damage, gently twisted the line of ink back until the ends have butted up inside the splice of cotton swab.  I then positioned the shrink tube over splice and it shrunk with a hair dryer.  Heat shrink tube, I used a hot melt glue applied to the Interior, which has helped more away making a watertight splice.  Again, it is not a lot of space, so the splice should remain small.

    I reassembled the printer, reinstalled ink cartridges and powered by the printer.  After the normal, long time running, I printed full color sheets and everything was fine.  Already that I had installed the cartridge magenta watch now that it is complete, and the remaining cartridges also read the levels they had before disassembly.

  • My blue ink in HP Officejet Pro K550 does not print, even though I tried to put in a new cartridge.

    My Officejet Pro K 550 printer, has lost its ability to print blue ink, but I tried to change the cartridge. Other colours and black work well.  Can you give me any advice as to what may be wrong?

    Hi Linda,.

    I found some of my colleagues who have worked on this printer. There are some things to try, however, it is not all good news.

    The engineer estimated that on the print head nozzles may be clogged for 2 reasons. The first is that there is only some residue ink. Here's what he said: "perhaps you can suggest to the customer to try to remove the print head (just the print head which has cyan nozzles), use a cotton pad or damp cloth to clean the residue of ink around the nozzle. Replace the printhead, and then do the cleaning sequence that the manual says. This procedure might be able to recover some scenarios of nozzle clog, but he's going to use up little ink. »

    However, it may be that air took the print head: '. '. If the print head is deprimed, that means air penetrated in a certain room after turning on which can never be purged, causing not able to sink more ink. In these cases, I think that the print head should be replaced. »

    The engineer also spoke with assurance of customer, who believes that this particular product is past its end of life, which means that it is technically longer than Hp designed to operate. I know that you only had 3 years, but you want to be aware of this.

  • After you have installed the new cartridge HP do not print black ink

    HP Officejet 4620, Windows 7... installed new HP black ink cartridge and now it will not print black at all. I followed all the advice line in the help section, even cleaned the vents on the cartridge itself but shows only the white page. No error message is displayed. Diagnostic ran and says it all works correctly. Also cleaned printheads through 2 cycles still nothing. Any other suggestions? It was working fine before inserting the new black ink cartridge.

    Hi Teresa1960,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are facing some print quality problems on your HP Officejet 4620 you cannot print in black ink.

    You have completed all THE steps listed here: printer does not print black ink or color of ink or prints blank Pages, without success.

    Please note: there are three stages of print head cleaning. Three steps if necessary. If the print head is badly clogged, it may require another round of cleaning. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last step of cleaning (third) to start the first stage of the cleanup process.

    If you are unable to print in black ink, I think that the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. I highly recommend call you our technical support at the 800-474-6836, I'm sure they will be able to help you regardless of the status of the guarantee.

  • I have problems of black ink to print. It is gray very pale, even w new cartridge.

    When I installed the new cartridge is said that it is defective.

    Oh, OK.  Assuming that the ink is genuine HP, follow these steps:

    1. remove all the ink cartridges.

    2. lift the gray lever on the right side of the cart.

    3 remove and reinsert the printhead Assembly.

    4. replace the ink cartridges.

    If it does not, turn the printer off, then hold # and 6 keys while and for a bit after turning it on again.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210 Series new magenta ink cartridge prints do not at all

    First of all, I had a problem with my cyan ink on my printer HP Photosmart B210 series. The problem was that he was not the impression and he says it wasn't printing because of the cartridge and also I had to align my cartridges. Whenever I tried to align the cartridges he says that alignment does not so I ended up trying to align them so much that I have exhausted all my ink and went out to buy all new cartridges.

    When I installed new cartridges and tried to line up once again, they all worked perfectly, but when I went to print a photo, the magenta was not yet appear. I did another test called 'Print diagnostic Information' and the magenta box is completely blank 100%. When I went to see the "estimated ink levels" he said it was perfectly fine. I tried to print a picture of a square while magenta box and the printed page was completely empty.

    Basically... How can I get my printer to recognize the new magenta cartridge because it is not currently.

    I'd say running up to three cycles of cleaning the printer before driver or Panel box tools.  If this doesn't get the magenta, then you can try soak the print head, as described here.

    [edit] Know that the ink gauge is probably not at this point clear - especially the printer like that it has printed pages of magenta at this stage, while the ink is still in the cartridge.  The ink gauge will indicate less ink cartridges is actaully available.
