want 120 cartridge problem

I'm having a problem with my printer HP Envy 120 new.

On switching on, the 'cartridge problem' screen appears, saying: "one or more cartridges appear to be damaged.

There is a black icon below this text but no color.

I have assumed that meant that the color cartridge did not work. I went back to the store and got a new cartridge color under warranty.

However, with the new cartridge installed, I still get the same message. Means, therefore, that it is the Black cartridge that is defective?

I tried to reinstall the two cartridges, cleaning all the contacts and the reset of the printer off for 15 seconds without result; I still get the same screen.

As I'm back at the shop soon, I would like some ammo in the case of an argument! The printer is still under warranty, but a resolution may depend on who you're talking about... :-)

Personally I find the screen rather ambiguous. Thanks for any help!

Simply put the replacement cartridge in now and the printer works fine.

Much thanks to Jamieson for the help!

  • OfficeJet 4500: Frequent tricolor cartridge problem

    I have an Officejet 4500 Wireless bought in autumn 2012.

    I suffer from reports very frequently by the printer there is a problem with the Tricolor cartridge. This almost always happens when the printer is on first, well that occasionally it happens either, or the problem clears quickly without intervention. Even if the problem persists, I can of course make any impression.

    Often, I can solve the problem by opening the door of the printer and, when cartridges have travelled over to the far right, either remove and replacing the Tricolor cartridge, or in case of failure by pushing so hard on the cartridge three colors that I fear the printer.

    I think therefore that the problem is nothing more [sic] as the result of bad contact between the printed circuit board of the cartridge and the cradle of the printer which got him, but I can't be sure. I tried to gently wipe the printed circuit of the cartridge with a damp cloth and isopropyl article in case of dirt or fat are the cause, but nothing helped.

    Has anyone else with an Officejet 4500 experienced this or a similar problem? Is there a known solution for this? Try a new cartridge would be likely to solve the problem?

    When the printer goes it is great, but for now I wonder if I'll have to throw away so much that the problem is so frustrating. I need to be able to print when I want to.

    TIA!

    Hi there @EastAnglianMan Welcome to the forums,

    I read in your post on cartridge errors three colors that you have noticed on your Officejet 4500 Wireless printer. Even if you have noticed that you have tried the majority of troubleshooting, I would say by browsing the troubleshooting guide that is targeted for this specific issue ensure that all steps have been tried. As for trying a new ink cartridge, that would be your personal choice if you want to buy and try to install a new one. A new cartridge may or may not solve the problem completely.

    "Incorrect print cartridge" or "Print cartridge problem" Message appears on the computer

    If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call HP Technical Support to see other possibilities for you, as a business. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

    Have a great day, thanks for posting in the community!

  • HP OFFICEJET series 4620. Ink cartridge problem

    Buy this printer yesterday.  Followed the instructions re insert the cartridges.  Installed the software.  Keeps saying: install cartridges and I can't go out re ink cartridges - insert operations for the cartridges being too far over to the right.  I have #m at a loss what to know.  I have it turned off and on again, but the problem persists.

    Thank you

    Hi Sheilaoc,

    I understand the printer refuses the cartridges and the transport is stuck on the right side. I want to help you solve this problem, so you can start enjoying your new printer.

    I suggest that first you open the door of ink, leave the printer and unplug the power cable. Is the power cord unplugged, you can now move the carriage to the Center and remove the cartridges. Once the cartridges are removed, close the access door and plug the printer back. The printer will now start again and it will prompt you to install the cartridges. If this does not resolve the problem, use the following document for additional solutions. A "cartridge problem," "ink cartridge failure," or "Incompatible cartridge" Error Message is displayed on the control panel.

    Just in case the problem persists, call HP for your warranty options.  The number of call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for the Canada and the United States, or you can Contact HP worldwide.

    I hope this helps.

  • 'Ink cartridge problem' with model C309g

    I inserted a new black ink to the my Photosmart C309g. I want to only use black instead of having to buy the colors as well. When I put in the dark, the screen comes up with 'ink cartridge problem", saying that the following cartridges (all color and black in the photo) are missing or damaged. Is any way to get the printer to work with the black only? I can't make it past the 'problem' screen and it will not bypass it with me I'm trying to print something in black and white.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    @khuransh, you will need to replace the color cartridges until you are able to print again. The printer will not work without the color cartridges if you try to print in black. Color cartridges mixed with black to form a true black color. So when the colors are missing, the black will not work.

    @creditcard, the same applies, if the cartridge of yellow that came out, the black will not work because she needed some than yellow to form a black.

  • Officejet Pro 8620:8620 cartridge problem

    Recently, I ran downstairs on the yellow cartridge and replace it with 951XL. This was the first replacement of cartridge for my printer. I have a cartridge problem error that I couold not clear. I assumed it was a faulty cartridge and had the intention to return to Costco. I put the old cartridge back and the problem of the cartridge continues. I turned off the printer, waited, placed all the cartridges, but unsuccessfully this error compensation. I cleaned the connector from the cartridge with a Q-Tip and no luck. Any suggestions?

    Follow-up... I worked with the HP chat support team. After running through the standard troubleeshooting we finally understood the correct remedy. I deleted and reinstalled the printerhead (fairly simple) Assembly and that reset everything amok. Printer works fine now.

  • J4580 print cartridge problem: [Tri-Color] refer to the device Documentation

    Well, I'm starting to feel like I knew better, buy another HP printer after dismal luck with two all-in-one before.

    My J4580 already gives me headaches after only 6 or more months of use.

    The unit refuses to print, declaring "print cartridge problem: [Tri-Color] refer to device Documentation to troubleshoot."  Nothing in the help documentation.  The Habs is always 90% full.  Sometimes pulling the Habs and placing back in crazy wil it restarting.  When it restarts, it prints perfectly.

    I tried the ubiquitous "clean the contacts" and other instructions help generic that I saw, but those who were without help.  The "Solution Center (Yes, good)" appears and all ithas is a link to buy more ink (!).

    Someone has an idea?  I'm about to throw it through the window of stores office, given that I can't throw it out the window of HP.

    Thank you!

    Yes * I know * and I'm sorry that I forgot to come back here.  I had a major system crash and I had to reinstall a lot of drivers for my multimedia player, GPS, and printer (!).  As this occurs, the device did not return this error - touch wood.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @scifijunky73

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you are having problems with one of the instant ink cartridges you have.

    My recommendation is to contact HP customer care on 0207 660 0596 (indicating your call is on the program of instant ink) Monday - Friday 08:30-18:00 (except holidays). It is best that you contact team of instant ink for your cartridge problem.

  • HP envy 5530: ink cartridge problem

    Unfortunately I know that we are no longer covered by the warranty but I'm out of options as to what to do
    father rather than use its own printer to print something used our (mine and my mother) and on the last page, we got an error message on the printer screen that says "PROBLEM of CARTRIDGE of INK" with the note to replace the cartridge, now our cartridges arrived by post on Friday and I just went to install a new one now (for when my mother comes back from the cottage) and I still get the same problem.

    Well, I think that Youtube is your last hope.

    https://www.YouTube.com/results?search_query=envy+5530+cartridge+problem

    Find out more if necessary.  Otherwise I think that your printer can be roasted.

  • HP Officejet 4500 print cartridge problem

    After you install the new black ink cartridge, error message came: 'print cartridge problem [Black]. Refer to the documentation for the device to get out of trouble. »

    I removed the cartridge and reinsert. Same message. Unplug the printer, then turn it off. When turned on again, the same message.

    Thank you, Jason, for your support.  Lesson: stick to what worked before, for example, 901 XL ink cartridge, as opposed to 901.
