Check print cartridge - won't print

I have an HP1317. I have just replaced the black cartridge so it should work fine but just get 'check print cartridge message'. I've taken both out several times and put back. I've turned off power and re-booted. I've tried everythin I can think of but still message appears. H E L P!

Hello @paulhoward,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having a problem with your PSC 1317 accepting the new ink cartridge.
I would like to help.
The following document should help with your issue.
Check Print Cartridge Light Blinking
You have already completed steps 1-3, so I am posting step 4-5.
Step 4: Clean the problem cartridge contactsIf the light is still blinking, clean the electrical contacts by the procedure below:
Gather the following items to clean the cartridge and print carriage:
Clean distilled water. Use bottled or filtered water if distilled water is not available.
Clean cotton swabs or any soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the cartridges (coffee filters work well).
Remove the cartridge and place it on a piece of paper with the nozzle plate facing up. NOTE:Try to clean the contacts quickly enough that the cartridge is not outside of the printer for more than 30 minutes. The ink can dry and clog the nozzles if the cartridge is outside of the printer for too long.
Unplug the printer.
Dip a swab in the clean water, then squeeze it to remove most of the moisture. The swab should only be slightly damp.
Clean the print cartridge contacts. The illustration below shows these contacts. Avoid touching the nozzles.
Figure : Clean the print cartridge contacts
Clean the contacts in the print carriage, inside the printer. The illustration below shows the carriage and the contacts.
Wait ten minutes to allow the cartridge to dry, then reinstall the cartridge, plug the printer back in, and close the cartridge access door.
Figure : Print carriage
Figure : Clean the gold-colored contacts in the print carriage
Step 5: Repeat reseating and cleaning steps
If the print cartridge light keeps flashing, repeat steps 3 and 4 above.
Step six is to replace the ink cartridge or call HP.

Check print cartridge error

I installed a new black cartridge in my HP PSC 1410 All-in-One. It printed a sheet to align the cartridges, but it won't scan, and I can't find HP Utilities or Scan or Toolbox on my MAC.
I tried taking one cartridge out, then the other. That did not help. I also tried turning everything off, no luck. The only thing that happened was the printer printed another aligning sheet.
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Hello apgrams,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving a few problems with the PSC 1410. I will do my best to assist you! What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
Are you still receiving "Check Print Cartridges" error?
Is this alignment sheet missing colors? If not, then please follow these steps:
1) Remove all ink cartridges from the printer, then close the door
2) Remove the power cord from the printer (Do not press the power button)
3) Wait 60 seconds or more, then plug the power cord back in
4) Wait for the printer to turn on completely, then install the ink cartridges
5) Try to print another alignment page
I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

New Color Cartridge Won't Print

Hidy! This is my office printer, and it cannot be replaced because of strange budget rules so I HOPE we can get it fixed. I went through every troubleshooting thing imaginable. When I print a test page (where you open and close the lid four times), it prints in color. When I print from the troubleshooter to re-align or clean, it prints in color. When I print from ANY program, and I've tried Word, Adobe PDF Files, internet pages through Firefox, everything, it only prints in Black, as if Grayscale is on (which, I look in every single Printer Dialogue Screen just to be sure, it is NOT on. Is there another place I could be missing? I've unplugged, removed, restarted, to no avail. This is just...odd. I know sometimes it will just stop working, but the fact that it's working from the HP software has me stumped. Please help!!! I was SO close to having my print jobs done!

If that does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
If the issue persists, you might also consider removing the driver from the Server Properties and then re-adding it again;
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.

Error Message on the printer - Remove and check right cartridge

How to fix error message: "remove and check right cartridge" which you have done numerous times, plus cleaned cartridge nozzle. Also, I have turned off power to printer, but nothing changed. Help for HP Officejet 7210 All-in-One needed.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Funny that multiple people have this problem appear just after 9/1 on multiple printers/all-in-ones. I wonder how many people have this problem and don't report it here. Mine is on a 2710a all-in-one in excellent condition except for this cartridge problem.
My contacts are not suddenly damaged and it is a relatively new well within the expiration date genuine HP cartridge that we have had for more than a few months. It has not been out of the printer nor has the printer been moved. It sits in a clean room with very little temperature variation from 72 degrees. All printers should be so lucky.
This is not the first time nor the first printer I've had cartridge problems with HP printers. This is my third one and I'm done with HP printers. I love all other aspects of the printer but this one is infuriating enough to sour me for good.

Where is OK button after checking new cartridges while installing new printer

Am installing a new hpENVY5660 on my Apple PC Yosemite version. Things go well until I put in in new in cartridges that came with printer. Get message ink cartridges problem. Checked both cartridges and still get message that tells me to "touch OK . I've tapped everything on the screen and nothing happens. In searching a solution, I find a message saying something about if my Apple Yosemite installation is newer than the printer, it will not operate. Is this my problem or can you help me find "Touch OK?

Hey @mraf ,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
I understand you are getting a cartridge error that says touch ok to continue and you are not able to find the "ok" button.
I recommend unplugging the printer for 3-5 minutes and plugging it back in. See if that message comes back. If it does let me know and we can go from there.
Also Yosemite is compatible with this printer so don't fret about that.
Have a good day, look forward to hearing back from you.

1600 all-in-one series printer error message to remove and check color cartridge will not go away

Error message, remove and check color cartridge will not go away even after replacing cartridge (same refilled). Any help would be appreciated.

I had the very same problem with my HP Officejet 7410 so cleaned the ink cartridge and carriage contacts per the directions listed on this link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01423559&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
After my first attempt at cleaning these contacts, i reinserted the cartridge and tried printing again but I got the same error message. Next I removed both cartridges (color & black) from their slots and after pointing a flashlight at the carriage I discovered the bottom of the carriage was covered with ink, so....using over a dozen cotton swabs I cleaned the bottom of the carriage as best i could. Also, thinking that perhaps the ink cartridge was not manufactured exactly to its proper size and shape, when i inserted the cartridges back into their slots I slightly pressed them in to be sure the contacts would touch.
I was happy to see that now the error message is gone and my printer is printing again....well, at least for now.

My 4215 all in one HP printer error message suddenly reads "remove and check right cartridge" .

My all in one 4215 printer suddenly is flashing an error message in the screen saying "remove and check right cartridge"...For what I am checking it is unclear. I have removed and reinstalled the cartridge and it looks OK to me...It is not empty, and the last thing it printed was fine...Help!
This question was solved.

I'm betting that the contacts inside the printer or on the ink cartridge are dirty. This happens over time. The document below will walk you through cleaning the contacts. Let me know what happens.

URGENT : Check Printing

Hi There,
I am working on converting standard Payables Check printing to be based on BI Publisher (5.6.3). Currently, the client is using a laser printer and the checks are being printed thru standard oracle report. For printing checks, they are using a special cartridge. Some of the strings on the check are printed in MICR font and my guess is that the oracle report is sending some special printer codes (defined in printer definition file) to the printer to let the printer know which fields are to be printed in MICR font.
Is it possible to have the rtf template access the fonts on the printer ?
Regards,
Saurabh

Hi Gareth,
I have created an eText template for my check print... where the format is almost exact to the current process my client is using.
However, the client currently also sends the following control characters to the printer.
ESC @ ---> initialize printer
ESC 2 ---> set 6 lines per inch
ESC C 22 ---> set 22 lines per page
Ant ideas how to do this in my rtf template?
Thanks in advance
Ash.

AP Check printing setups for printing checks on your own

HI
I am wondering if there a good document which deals with AP check printing with MICR and signature on your own check stock
thanks

Recently we started to deal with AP check printing in our organizatin. It was a daunting task with the information and resources scattered all over and missing critical pieces of information to make sense out of the whole process flow. We attempted to go through the AP check printing internally and succeded.
I decided to post the information for the benefit of people about the our experience
Check Printing Basics and Beyond for Printing Checks on Your Own
by
Sarma Chilukuri
This article deals with what is needed to get your own checks printed. It is a first attempt to uncover all the hidden rules that one should be aware to get your own checks printed. The first section deals with the basic AP check printing setup, while the 2nd half explores some of the flow of events that make it possible to print the check.
Part I â Basic Setup
AP Setup for check printing
There are multiple steps in the AP check printing. First set of steps deal with the AP side setups. The second step is to get the System side setups. The system side setup deals with printer setup and program options setups. The last step would be to make the print format files configured with the vendor provided escape sequences in the laser print format file.
Step 1: login as Payable Manager
Step 2: Bank Setup: Navigate to Setup: Payments > Banks
1.     Make sure the Bank # etc are present
2.     Tab to âBank Accountsâ, and make sure your account # has been setup
3.     On the Bank Accounts screen, tab to the âPayables Documentsâ and verify that Payment format (E.g., COK Laser Format) has been entered. This âPayment format links to next section where we associate it to the right payment program.
Fig 1. AP Payment Bank Setup Screen
Step 3: Program Setup (Setup: Payments > Programs)
As we know there are only 5 formats 3 of which are âEver Green Laserâ (APXPBFE G|L|F) which are explained in the AP Users Guide. For your own form printing, you have to associate the format to APXPFEL (laser format) program. Also, the APXPBFEL or APXPBFEF call the APXPBFEG, which is the base program that pulls the data from oracle base tables. APXPBFEL is the one which allows us to print the checks with MICR and signature on a plain paper not on a pre printed stationery.
Fig. 2 AP Payment Format Setup Screen
Printer Styles, Drivers setup
The above process summarizes the AP Setup. As a DBA, the printer setup needs to be validated. The base install provides the right setup to some extent. But the differences in printers and print queues may add some complexity to the final configuration. The following section discusses the set up the base install provides and changes as needed.
Step 1. Login as system Administrator
Step 2: Style (Install : Printer > Style)
Look for the âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ. This one is associated with the SRW Driver Called, âAPLASPâ (AP Laser printer format).
Step 3: Driver (Install : Printer > Driver).
     1. The âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ is associated with a âUser Driverâ of PORTRAIT for HPLJ4 and and a SRW driver of âAPLASPâ
     2. Also notice that there is an Initialization string at the bottom of it. This initialization string gets called as pre-report trigger for the APXPBFEG program (APXPBFEG.rdf) file. It sets the kind of format it should be. Please see the Appendix A for details on these printer pcl code translations. The Initialization string was as follows:
Initialization: /eE/e&l0o2a7C/e(s0P/e(8U
Step 4: Printer type (Install : Printer > Register)
Each printer type is associated with a set of styles. Make sure the printer that was selected has the above style and its associated driver listed against that.
Fig. 3 System Administrator Printer Seups
Step 5: Program Setup (Concurrent > Program > Define)
This step holds the key for check printing. It is necessary to define whether you need the check on top followed by the Stub or the other way around. The way it is controlled is based on the APXPBFEG.rdf, the report definition file and the APLASP.prt (Printer Style associate with the Portrait laser check format SRW driver). The APLASP.prt file ($FND_TOP/reports) has two identical setups called the 100 series and the 200 series. Those identical sets of setups define where the MICR and signature print on the check. The following table lists the some of the codes in the 100 series. Please refer to Doc ID #146452.1 for complete details.
Fig. 4 System Administrator Concurrent Program Definitions
CODE #     Code Definition
100     Electronic check activation string
101     1st Check #
102     2nd Check #
104     Deactivate check number mode string
111     Activate MICR line
112     MICR Deactivation / reset the printer head position
121     1st Signature
122     2nd Signature
141     Address font activation string
199     Return to default state string
Table 1. APLASP.prt -- MICR Activation Codes
The above code block repeats itself the same way in the 200 series. The decision to activate one way or the other controls the Check printing.
Step 2: Setting up the Option block
In the concurrent program definition for the APXPBFEL, there is an Options block in the middle. You need to list the codes that you want to activate. Please refer to Doc ID # 186640.1 for some explanation on these.
E.g.,
p_printer_code_mask="201,211,221,241" p_sig2_amount="" p_sig3_amount="" p_sig1_vendnum="" p_sig2_vendnum="" p_sig3_vendnum="" p_country_to_ignore="US" p_continuous_stationery="N"
Step 3: Output format is Text
Text format is sufficient, as the printer will pick up these escape sequences anyway.
Fig. 5 System Administrator Concurrent Program APXPBFEL Options Definition
UIPRINT.TXT, UIFONTS.ALI
One needs to be aware of a few more pieces in this puzzle. The UIPRINT.TXT identifies to the Oracle Applications the print queues that were setup. This file is needed to set your PCL / Post Script printer definitions. I did not have to really tinker with these files other than identifying the PCL and Post Script Qâs that were setup on the UNIX box.
Part II: Integrating all the pieces
The above setups are all documented in various articles. We need to understand a few more steps to see how all these pieces come together.
What you need to know about APXPBFEG.rdf
APXPBFEG (.rdf) is the report file which when called pulls the data from Oracle. If you open the APXPBFEG.rdf in the Oracle reports, there is initialization to the report called, SRW.Init. This will bring in the initialization string associated with the PORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECK driver definition file. Also, please be very careful with this report format file. When you open it, there is small tiny empty block. in the first block which calls the printer initialization code 100/200 under the Format Mask (from APLASP.prt). If this portion gets changed or messed up, one can end up with some unexpected results. Each of those blocks like MICR, CHECK etcâ¦ have associated format triggers and printer codes.
Please make sure that the printer mask is properly handled. I noticed that the 200 series MICR (211) and Signature (221) printer masks were tied to 111 and 121 respectively. These should have been 211 and 221. The other place you need to be careful was the printer code before and after is proper.
For E.g.,
For the MICR, the âprinter code before and after columns â should be 111 and 112 (or 211 / 212) respectively while Format Trigger should reference to 111 (211).
Fig. 6 APXPBFEG rdf file printer mask and Format Triggers
The escape sequences in the APLASP.prt file for these codes will play the crucial role in getting our format around the report output that gets generated from the APXPBFEG program. Please refer to the explanation of these escape sequence codes in the APPENDIX A.
At this point when you run the program, you will see that the formatted output report file will have all the initialization strings and the output associated with that. You can compare the fields and verify the results. Let us closely examine the parts of the 111 and 121 where the micr and signature prints. The key to this to code the escape sequences the right way to get the associate MICR and signature print out correctly.
Fig. 7 APXPBFEG rdf file MICR printer mask and Format Triggers
Code 111 and Code 112 from the APLASP.prt file.
I broke the line into pieces to illustrate the exact escape sequence code.
Code "211"
Part 1: esc "&f0S" esc "&f0y0X" esc "&l0E" esc "&a0L"
Part 2: esc "(8M" esc "(s0p8.00h8.0v0s0b80T" --- This will be provided by the ROM

code "212"
Part 1 : esc "&f1x3x8X"
Part 2 : esc "&f1S"
Let us go over these 2 sets of codes carefully.
Escape Code     Meaning     Comment
esc "&f0S"      Push Cursor Position
esc "&f0y0X"     Define Macro ID 0 and Start Macro Definition

Summary
One can print their own checks using the above steps. This can work as a cost effective solution for small organizations where the budgetary constraints are tighter. We are successful in getting the AP Checks printed using the above method.

Check print cartradge issues

Hi, I've got a HP PSC 1215 printer and have been using it with my laptop for some time. However my laptop has just stopped picking it up and doesnt say that it is connected. The "check print cartridge" light is also flashing on my device, I have tried to follow the steps on the HP support website but it doesnt help. Do you know how to help me? Thanks

These documents may help. You may have referenced one of these documents based on what you stated in your post. The first two are concerning the check cartridge light, the third is concerning the disconnected status:

I hope those help you.
