Problem cartridge Photosmart C6380 ink cartridge appears to be missing or damaged

When I installed a new cartridge black HP, after the existing black cartridge HP showed no black ink on paper, the message on the screen says "Ink cartridge problem - the following ink cartridges appear to be missing or corrupt" and indicated that the black cartridge was at fault.  I tried an another new cartridge HP black and had the same result.

I can't use the print head clean installation/tool while the message remains.

I have reset the printer (several times) by unplugging the power cord from the printer, while the power was on, wait at least 30 seconds and then reconnect the power cord to the printer.  All to nothing does not.

Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

After having tried many suggestions from the Forum, including cleaning the printhead twice, I abandoned all hope and withdrawn for all connections of my Photosmart C6380 and instead, began to investigate other (not HP) printers.  A few days later (I'm slow nine material selection!), I thought I would connect my printer to my computer for one last try.

AMAZING RESULT!

The printer has recognized all the cartridges HP 5 as he had already said that the (new) black cartridge is missing or empty.  It then proceeds automatically to clean and align the cartridges, taking more than 10 minutes in the process, and finally it print a sheet showing that the printer was working again.  I had to restart the computer before I could print normal leaves.

It seemed to me that the printer for a long period of isolation meant the printer lost recorded "information" and so had to start again.

  • Photosmart wireless B109n-z showing "ink cartridges above appear to be missing or damaged.

    Hello, I have a problem with my photosmart printer (wirelless B109n-z) now (on Windows 7) and I could do with some advice. He started by printing not really properly-there were only a few extremely weak lines, so I opened the lid and makes sure that the ink cartridges were properly-they came out and put in the new - but then the error message came that the cyan ink cartridge is missing or damaged. As it was low on ink anyway I replaced it with a new one but the message was still there. I went through all the steps on the site of HP to address the problem, but it is always the same and have never used a not genuine HP ink cartridge. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If you did not start the steps in this document it.   In step four parts 11 and 12, there are four fingers touch by cartridge.  Make sure that none of these electrical contacts are misaligned, if we're folded its place gently back in its place.  (Compare contacts faulty cyan with those on the cartridges adjacent as described in this post.)

  • without the Photosmart 5510 ink cartridges Control Panel cannot be accessed

    I have a Photosmart 5510 which has no ink cartridge. My intention is to use it to scan only, and I would like to be able to set up wireless. When I turn on the printer, the control panel displays this: "problem of ink cartridges.  One or more cartridges appear to be missing or damaged. Install or replace the affected cartridges. »

    The wireless button or the ePrint button cause anything to appear on the control panel and there is no other options, such as cancel or continue.

    Is there a way to go beyond this message of ink cartridges without installing cartridges?

    Hello

    In general, I'm afraid the answer is no, as a multifunction device, it requires the ink required to operate the device but there are of the workarounds you can try.

    That there is a problem with one or more of the ink cartridges should be sorted first, the control panel will not answer while the device is in an error state.

    You try to use the computer temporarily plugging in a USB port on the printer.

    If the printer is recognized by the PC in such a State, let it finish its configuration and open the software HP Photosmart 5510.

    Open the utilities tab and click on Setup & software printer, then click on convert USB to wireless and follow the steps on your PC.

    If this success then run a scan of your PC use.

    If it is not detected, which is likely to be affected by the error status of the device, such you will solve the problem first.

    You can follow these steps to solve a problem of cartridge if necessary:

    Hi @Gjedlicka1

    Sounds like the cartridge and the printer does not communicate. I suggest to remove the cartridges and contacts metal bit wiping on the cartridges. Also take a look inside the printhead to see if there is any obvious damage where the cartridges sit in.

    Here is a link to a document with instructions for troubleshooting (that's for a different model of printer than the one you have, but the recommended steps are the same): http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04313139

    Hope this helps, good luck

  • How to remove, head clean print Photosmart C6380. 6515 Photosmart ink cartridge compatibility

    I had found information several months ago on how to remove and clean the print head, but I can't find it now.  I replaced the Photosmart C6380 with a 6515 Photosmart because when the 6380 stopped working I had to buy a large amount of ink and the 6515 used the same ink cartridge #.  However, the 6515 will not accept the cartridges with the error message they are an older generation.  I think that if the cartrides were not compatible, a number of different cartridge should be used.  So now, I want to try to solve the problem with the C6380 printhead, so I don't have to trash my entire ink supply.

    Here is a document on how to clean the contacts on the cartridges themselves.

    I think that the removal of the print head and of cleaning you're wanting is in this post here.

    Please note that soaking the print head should only be performed on the print heads that are out of warranty. Check that warranty end date to the printhead located by the contacts on the print head to make sure he went from warranty. The reason I put in custody which is a printhead soaking, a guarantee will be cancelled.

  • Printer HP Photosmart C6380 replacement cartridge

    Need a replacement for a with number CB321WN Option 140 HP 564XL black.  I learned online HP chat that this cartridge is no longer available. A black product 564XL number 140 Option CN684WN of the order said.  I did it (ordered four) and when they arrived found they are a skinny cartridge not a cartridge of fat and about 2/3 the width of a need for replacement.  They also have a black circle on black box where the originals have a 5 sided block.  They are correct and why are they only 2/3 the width of origin.  Less ink more money?  They don't look as if they will fit in the printer.  Should I return this?

    HI - according the information I can find, these are the correct cartridges.  Here's a URL for your ink cartridges that work on the C6380:

    Looks like the 564XLs that you ordered should work just fine.  Unfortunately, I don't have any info on why the physical size would have changed.

    Hope that helps.
