refil cartridges or replace printer each time

IM in a debate with myself, I have a printer hp 1050 has cost £25 with included cartridges (ithink xl ones)

Im trying to decide to do for the filling of cartridges, or when these cartridges are empty throw the printer away and buy a new one.

Refil kits are reasonably priced but cartridges (standard those not xl) are more expensive that the printer costs to buy

    You don't mention what model of printer you have, so it is difficult to answer your question.  If you have a printer as the PSC 1310 or 1410 page is a page of alignment.  In this case, you will need to load the page alignment on the scanner glass, and then press the "Scan" button to complete the alignment.  Once the alignment ended the alignment page is not printed again until you change the next cartridge.  Check your manual for more details.

    Hi maggie101952,

    Thank you for the information on the computer.

    I would like to run a few things with you and with a little luck, we can get to the bottom of this issue.

    You have a memory card or a USB key connected to the printer?  If Yes, please remove and restart the printer.  Try printing without anything cards or USB connected.

    If is not the case, I'll give you the link for HP Photosmart 7520 series firmware update.  If the error is still popping up, the issue could be with the product it self.  I suggest you then call HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.

  • Printer Epson NX 415, get a message saying something on the refill cartridges, but even when I tried to solve the problem, I was unsuccessful.

    I have an Epson NX415 printer, the problem I have is my arer of ink cartridges not recognized or fake messages saying that I need to replace a particular cartridge is correct. I tried the Epson OEM cartridges as generic in all combinations without success. Sometimes, I get a message saying something on the refill cartridges but even when I tried to solve the problem I was unsuccessful. I have tried all troubleshooting solutions on Epson web site without success.  Help!

    I hate to say it, but if you can't get help from Epson, it's probably time to buy a new printer.  It's a printer hardware problem or a problem of printer driver, and the two of them come from Epson, not Ms.

    Good luck.

  • HP Envy 5530: I replaced the black cartridge in my printer. She refuses to print in black only now.

    I ran all the standard tests. Black printing will produce only on cartridge color if used singularly. Print heads have been cleaned. Printer has updated its auto preset and no analysis of a printed item will be printed nor will be a printed document or the other. All prints have tried so far were in black ink. All worked perfectly until the change of the ink cartridge. Replacement cartridge used was a standard 301 HP black cartridge.

    HOW CAN I REPLACE EXPIRED INK CARTRIDGE IN THE PRINTER ALL IN ONE HP OFFICEJET PRO L7780?

    I DO NOT PRINT A LOT AND I HAVE TWO PRINTERS. THE EXPIRATION DATE ON THE CARTRIDGE, THE PRINTER DOSE NOT LET ME PRINT. I KNOW THAT THERE IS WAY TO OVERRIDE THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE ON MY PREVIOUS PRINTER THEY REPLACES THE KEY.

    The error message itself will remain but will continue to print. This message will remain until the cartridge is replaced. Substitution is the printer printing always regardless of the error message on the display screen.

  • Photosmart 5514: Photosmart 5514 - new black ink cartridge will not print

    I just replaced all 4 ink cartridges (new cartridges of HP).  Each color prints fine except the black.  Not a spot of ink is crossing.  I removed, checked and reinsert the cartridge several times.  I check the contacts, clean them by following the instructions in the troubleshooting guide.  I've run the cleanup tool and quality report several times each.  Still nothing.  The printer is only a couple of years, out of warranty, but I don't have any problems with it so far.  Is there anything else I can try before I have to throw this printer?

    For anyone who is having the same problem: I continued to try to understand this problem because I didn't have to buy a new printer.  I finally found a solution after trying everything that previously mentioned.  HP never really gave me any solution.

    On the touch screen of the printer, go to Setup, then Preferences.  Do scroll to the chip in cartridge information and change it to Off.  Now my black ink prints!

    I don't know if it will work on other printer models, but it worked on mine.

  • Cannot turn off the issue of jam and paper cartridge (both at the same time)

    I have a HP Officejet 8600, running on a wireless home network.  The printer will not work.  We get two messages. 1. Introduction to jam, and I'm going through all the steps to clear paper, including the search for pieces of paper, as well as any leaves.  I found no paper, whole or in part anywhere in the printer.  2. at this point, I get a message that I have a problem with a printer (of ink, installed correctly, etc.) cartridge.  Simply replace us all cartridges, so I know that we are not out of ink.  However, when I opened the door to the area of printer cartridge, the cartridge does not move where I can check it out.  There's just right.  So I'm "stuck".  I don't know how to get the cartridge door to roll over so I can check!  I turned off the computer several times and tried to reset things, but nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?

    Followed - I turned off the printer.  Then opened the cartridge and reaches into the printer access door.  Without moving the cartridge door, I pressed each cartridge to make sure it was placed correctly.  Then, shut the door and back running the printer.  The printer seems to start correctly.  I then opened the door, the door-cartridge moved where I could access them normally.  I double checked that each cartridge is installed and closed the door.

    At this point, everything seems to work properly.

  • C310 HP All in One: black cartridge won't print; Alignment failed

    Printer works perfectly, as usual.  Rec'd notice to update the drivers of HP software; has done, and suddenly black ink does not print at all.  Done all the troubleshooting steps: test page printed. print the Diagnostics page.  Align the print cartridges.  Cleaned print heads.  Although the cartridge has shown the more partial estimated ink level, replaced by the new HP black ink cartridge.  Still not printing black ink.

    Print uninstalled and reinstalled the software.  Tried everything above.  Has released a new cartridge and replaced with previous.  Also been clarified vents on both cartridges.  It is not that black ink is smudged on striated, it's as if there is no cartridge at all.  I also checked to make sure that the printer is not set to print grayscale.  It is located in the color and Normal.  Changed for the better, still nothing.

    HP Print and Scan Doctor initially show all correct.  The device status is now red X: Make sure cartridges and printheads are correct or your printer.  All are genuine HP cartridges.  Now I get a message on the printer alignment failed.  Is it possible that this is related to the update printer drivers?  I have never had a printer HP fail before.  Have at least six of them.  I do not use the printer a lot it should be worn.  In addition, it printed fine until what I've updated the drivers.

    Advice on what to try next? Thank you.

    Hello

    The only troubleshooting steps to run is clean print head.

    Make sure that you perform print head cleaning for at least 3 times.

    If the problem persists, then the print head must be replaced.

    You need to call HP Technical Support to get help to get the printhead replaced.

    If you are in the United States, the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836.

    If you're not in the United States, and then connect to www.hp.com , bottom left it is an icon of the world map, click it and then select the region that you belong to, which would then provide the support options for you for this region.

  • HP4620 black cartridge does not print

    My HP4620 all in one - the black cartridge will not print.  I encountered this problem in the past, but it has been resolved with an ink cartridge.  However, this time I replaced the new cartridge and still the black will not print.  I did all the diagnostic tests, use the PIN to clear the vent cleaned as advised printer heads.  This printer is only 16 months old and is not heavy use.  Solution, please?

    Thanks for the number to call. New printer is on its way! This is clearly a systemic problem with this unit.
