Printer doesn't recognize cartridge

The printer said 'empty cartridge' so i put in a new one, now the printer says the cartridge is empty but I know it's not empty and now it wont print.  When I hit print it says 'printing' and a second later it says 'finished printing' but the printer never makes a move, nevr makes a sound, and certainly is not printing.
How can I force this HP2452 to print?!    
It's only a month old!

Hi @Kerfirou 
I would be happy to help you with the cartridge trouble you are experiencing. Although you may not see incompatible ink or ink cartridge missing exactly, the following document will guide you through the necessary steps to troubleshoot the issue you have described; An 'Incompatible Ink Cartridge or 'Ink Cartridges Missing' Error Message Displays for HP Deskjet 151....
If the issue persists,  I suggest calling us. Don't hesitate to call, although the printer may be out of warranty, the cartridges could be in warranty; therefore, there wouldn't likely be a fee for the phone support. We will, at our option, either replace products under warranty that prove to be defective or refund the purchase price.
We could even determine after troubleshooting that it is a problem with the printer, in which case they may offer you a discount on a newer model.
The number to call is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
To find the “Warranty Ends” date, look in the following table for the date's location on each product. The date follows the YYYY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM format, where YYYY indicates the year, MM indicates the month, and DD indicates the day.
I hope this helps.

  • Acrobat Printer doesn't recognize SWF as a printable file form

    Acrobat Printer doesn't recognize SWF (even if a static/single frame file), as a printable file format! Please fix the issue,
    I am confronted with 'The file cannot be printed. Please try opening the file with the correct application and printing from there' and The issue is encountered while dragging one/many SWF into Acrobat Printer's  printing list.  Its displays that troublesome  error.
    And, please add CRTL+P feature to print an SWF from Flash Player Standalone.

    No, that doesn't work for me.  And things seem to be inconsistent.  Where it lets you vary the file size (small/medium/large/actual) when large and actual are the same, it doesn't send the actual jpeg file for windows to open.  When large and actual size files are different when you toggle between the two, the file seems to go through to my windows pc ok.  When I tried this through preview, that's when I noticed this difference, not through just email or Aperture yet.  Help!

  • Printer doesn't recognize ink

    Just replaced yellow ink in Photosmart 5180 -- I'm sure its the right thing, its brand new and I shook it and some ink came out-- but printer insists there is no yellow ink.
    Ideas?

    I feel your pain. I have a new 6500 (six months I've used it). Everytime I insert a brand-new GENUINE HP cartridge - these happen to be 920's - the printer does not recognize it. Says it's "damaged" or whatever and tells me consult manual.
    The manual (at least on 6500) says to clean the little "window" on the cartridge. Mind you, this is a brand new freshly unwrapped EXPENSIVE HP catridge and I gotta do maintenance on it before I stick in the machine? So I get some eyeglass cleaner and rub it on the little "window" (it's very cloudy and dark for a window, looks like solid plastic) and then the printer accepts it. Like it just saw its passport and determines its not an illegal alien cartridge.
    BUT - and here's the rub (no pun intended)...even after I did that three times or more on a cyan cartridge, the 6500 would still not accept it. I didn't have time to mess around anymore so I bought a new one. Fortunately, that was accepted. I put the cyan that wouldn't work in a baggy and sealed it.
    After Christmas, I called HP at the toll free number in the manual (1-800-474-6836). On the phone for an HOUR OR MORE! First, with some guy who couldn't speak clear English (although I think it was an India support center) and then he gave me to his supervisor, a "Lisa" who, when I then asked, "Am I the only one on the planet with this problem?"  She says, "Honestly, this is the FIRST I've heard of this."
    Give me a break...not only are 6500 owners complaining on this but so are owners of other HP printers like yourself.
    Back to the cyan in the baggy:  The one I installed successfully was now empty and before buying a new one I opened the baggy and cleaned the livin' H out of that window with alcohol. This is after I drank some of the drinkable kind of alcohol. ALAS..the 6500 finally accepted that cyan cart from the baggy. Then I had another drink in celebration.
    But, come on, HP, do I have to go this crap every time I try to install a brand new cart? With HP lacking advice on this, my next move is to talk to the Cartridge World shop in town and see what they know about the 920s. That might be an idea for you, 'cause, so far, HP is of no help.
    If this keeps up, I'm going out and buying Canon's $99 (at Walmart or Best Buy) new all-in-one and seeing if I can peddle the 6500 to somebody who loves to do play the  "let's see if this HP cartridge will work" game every stinkin' time a cartridge is loaded. Frankly, I don't have that kind of time or patience and it would be worth the cost of one HP ink 4-pack to go back to Canon, a manufacturer that did not give me these problems on my last printer.
    Good luck.

  • Printer will not recognize commands from computer

    My computer will print to other printers, but my HP printer will not recognize commands from my desktop. My computer will allow me to choose the HP to print to and the print job will show up in the printer icon on my task bar, but my printer doesn't recognize that it's been asked to print. The printer will print when other computers ask it to. No error message comes up and the yellow light doesn't flash-- the screen just reads "Ready." The ink cartridge is less than a week old and it has plenty of paper.

    Hi @blackburnenglis,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that your printer will not recognize commands from your computer. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    For further assistance, I will need to know:
    The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
    If the printer is able to make copies.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    If you are using Windows, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens!
    Hope to hear from you soon!

  • HP laptop (Windows) doesn't recognize printer

    I have an Airport Express. Cable modem is plugged into it. HP PhotoSmart 3210 is plugged into USB. RCA jack is running from AE to receiver. My iMac can access the internet (wireless airport connection), and I can print to the HP. However, I can't see the printer on the network. I have an HP laptop running windows xp. It recognizes the network, and I can connect to the internet. It doesn't recognize the printer either. Any suggestions?

  • Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

    Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

    I just used the "Quick Menu" in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after wasting hours several days when the SSID and Network key/password were already activated and the Adobe software claimed no scanner was available. . These Adobe user manuals are next to useless. Now I'm still dealing with this problem: "Save As was unable to find tables in the document No file was created." (i.e., from the pdf file I created using NI). Well it's obvious there are tables in the pdf, but so far I haven't been able to get a result to determine the intrinsic accuracy of Adobe's pdf to Excel capability.

  • Satellite A505 Doesn't Recognize HP Printer

    My Satellite A505 laptop doesn't recognize my HP Color LaserJet 2550L printer, when I connect them with a USB line.  I tried going to the HP site to download the drive for the 2550L, but that site said Windows 7 already had it! Suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Did not work.  I tried installing the printer and driver using the add printer function (per the video), and, while I got a message that said the printer had successfully installed, neither the test page, nor a second, 1-page Word document, would print --  even though the printer is on, with paper loaded, no jams, and a green light, the USB cable is in tight (printer and laptop), but I get a printer job status of "Error" whenever a job enters the print queue.
    Same thing happened when I tried to load the driver from the original disk that came with the printer (I suspect the original driver isn't ready for Windows 7, but I have Windows 7 set to "automatic update", so I'm expecting it to go onto the internet and find the newest version of my driver, one that IS compatible -- that's the whole point of the auto update function).  Another issue I encountered, when I tried to load the driver manually, from the original disk, was it came back with a pop-up window that advised loading the driver with the "Printer Wizard", so I know that had to be a pre-Windows 7 disk.
    FYI -- I had this same problem trying to use an old Brother Laserprinter at home -- the USB wouldn't recognize the printer.  Loaded it via Windows, but got printer error message on any document I tried to print.
    This should be so simple! Plug 'n Play, via USB.  Maddening!

  • Deskjet 9800 doesn't recognize new color cartridge

    When my Deskjet 9800 printer reported that the color cartrridge was out of ink and I replaced it several months ago, I put in a replacement cartridge (#97) from a new package that I had in reserve.  The printer failed to recognize it, continuing to report that there was a problem (left print cartridge light blinks, power light on).   I figured the replacement might have been faulty, and tried another new cartridge.  Same result.  I put one of these cartridges that it rejected in another printer I have (a Deskjet 6840) and except for not being willing or able to tell me the ink level in that (because it was moved from one printer to another?) it worked fine in that printer.  I have tried at least three new HP ink cartridges, including a freshly purchased one with an expiration date two years in the future, and I get the same result from the 9800 printer.
    Unfortunately, the "top open" sensor in the 6840 broke so now it thinks the top is open all the time and I can't print with it, either.
    The tape on the cartridge has always been removed before installation, I have tried "hard resets" several times, and I have tried cleaning the contacts in the cartridge holder and on the cartridges (which don't look like they have any stuff on them, and which I never handle)
    Questions:
    1) is there anything else that might explain this behavior that might be fixed, either by me or by some repair service?
    2) is it possible to get repair parts or repair service for the 6840 printer, or is this now junk?

    Hi Monteverdi,
    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
    I hope this helps.

  • Trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable

    I am trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 to be able to use the airprint feature but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable. I have tried restarting the macbook, turning on and off the printer, repairing permissions, deleting and redownloading the update what else can I do? The prinyrt works fine otherwise...

    If there are no drivers for Yosemite you might be in trouble.. HP will tend not to support printers once they are EOL.
    Getting it running over wireless rather than USB might be worthwhile.
    Can’t connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
    Has the printer been working and now failed after update.. what update caused the failure if that is the problem??

  • PSE 9 doesn't recognize my printer

    I have PSE 9 and Windows 7.  I printed several photos today and all of a sudden the program tells me I have to install the printer.  When I look at devices and printers, they are all showing up.  I printed a test page, and the test page works.  It's only one printer that it doesn't recognize this time, although it did earlier in the day.
    I read an earlier question with this problem, but I didn't see any solution. I tried the Ctrl/Alt/Shift idea to get rid of the preference settings, but that didn't help and I tried rebooting the computer.  I tried changing different settings and then changing them back like one person suggested. Nothing has worked.
    This happened to me one day about a year ago and I found a way to fix it either here or somewhere on the internet, but now that it's happened again, I can't find an answer.  I've been using PSE for many years and never had a problem with the printer until I got PSE 9.  Surely, someone has come up with a fix for this problem. 
    Thanks.
    Anna

    I decided to delete my printer from the computer and just added it again. That seemed to do the trick.
