D6060 low ink light and no print.

The low ink warning light blinks, printer does not print, but all cartridges are between 50 and 100% full. No paper jams apparent.
Have followed directions to reset printer (remove cartridges, turn off, wait 10 mins, turn on). Same result with blinking orange light.

Hello @ISCAGIRL ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that your printer is giving a false low ink message.
I would like to help.
First while powered on, remove the power cord & refix after 30 seconds (Hard Reset).
If that does not clear the printers brain, try the following document.

Cannot clear blinking low ink lights on Deskjet F4180

printer won't print. Attention black light is blinking and E light is on.
Installed refilled cartridges and still have the problem. Is there a solution
short of buying a new printer?

Hi Conniejb, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are having ink issues. I would like to help with that.
These issues and errors can be caused by having refilled ink. HP does not recommend using anything but HP genuine ink. I would recommend installing HP genuine ink.
I would also recommend referring to this document on Blinking Lights.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Ink light flashes and it just won't print Deskjet 5150

Hi all,
I have a deskjet 5150 and just had the printer cartriges refilled at a local shop here in my area. Since I have done that and before I did that, I have had problems printing. Sometimes it would help if I disconnected the usb cable and plugged it back in. Then the document would print. Lately, all that I get is a blinking ink light on the printer. Everytime I try to print, the computer just tells me that there has been a problem with printing.
Any ideas?

Which light is blinking? Are there any error messages on the computer? Try printing with just a color cartridge installed, then with just a black cartridge. The one that does not work is the problem cartridge, try removing it and cleaning the cartridge contacts as shown here.

My HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer frequently gives me false "low ink" readings

My HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer frequently gives me false "low ink" readings, which wouldn't be a big deal except that unlike other printers I've had, instead of just printing as best it can on low ink, it refuses to print at all.
I know the readings are false:
(a) because I've only recently refilled the ink - (since this started I write down when I refilled the ink and note the number of print jobs, which can be as low as 10 and the false readings can occur) and
(b) my only work around so far is to turn the printer off and on until the false readings stop, it then shows the correct ink levels and does print, but his can often take 5 or 6 times of "off and on." Very annoying.
Questions:
Has anyone else experienced this?
If so, is there a fix?
If no fix, is there a way to change the printer default configuration so it will print anyway -with low ink - instead of simply refusing to print?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Maybe there is some ink on the connections to the cartridges. This document may help with checking those areas after you installed new cartridges last time:

Help with blinking ink light on printer

I have a office jet printer and my computer states my printer is out of ink. I replaced the ink cartridges and the printer continue to blink on the ink lights and when I try to send something to the printer it keeps saying the printer is out of ink. I have tried turning it off and tried taking the cartridges out. I just don't know what else to try? Any ideas

Hi @Cluelesst ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand you are having a problem with your 6100 and ink cartridges. I would like to help you with this.
Try going through the following document.
An 'Ink Cartridge Problem' Error Message Displays on the Computer
I know you said it says the ink is empty, but it still could be misinterpreting the error from the printer.
Please let me know if that document works for you.

Officejet 8000 - Printer says out of ink even after installing new ink cart. and new head.

My Officejet 8000 - Printer says "out of ink even after installing new ink cart. and new print head. I have tried two new cart. and still gives me the error. A few times it will show all inks are full and print a page or two then says it is out of ink. At one point I even was able to clean the heads and align them but same thing occurs. What is wrong??

Hi Lee_S
Try printing a Self Test Page and see what the Cartridge status & Printhead status is like.

False low ink warning on the 220 Black cartridge

Every time I get a low ink warning on the black PGBK 220 cartridge, upon visual inspection, the cartridge still contains approximately 20-25% of the ink. Non-OEM cartidges especially have a lot a ink left. Makes me think there's a Canon conspiracy in the printer maintenance software to identtify non-OEM cartidges and generate premature low ink wanings. Anyone else have this problem or know how to overcome it?

Hi drott1,
There are two types of ink warnings that will appear with your printer: a "low ink" warning and an "out of ink" warning. The "low ink" warning is designed to occur around the 25% mark. The intention is to give the consumer time to purchase replacement ink if necessary and have it available when the "out of ink" error occurs.
Think of it like the low fuel light on a car. While you still have enough gas to travel around, the warning light is a reminder to fill-up at the nearest gas station so you won't be stranded on the road without fuel. In a similar way, we don't want you to be stranded without ink in the middle of an important print job.

False Low Ink Message

   I have a Mac Pro which has been partitioned. I have installed 3 different OS's on 3 of the partitions- Lion, Snow Leopard, & Leopard. I use Snow Leopard almost excusively I have a Lexmark S415 All-In-One which I have only used as a printer, and it is connected only via a wireless network. In response to a low ink message on my Mac, I have loaded all new black and color cartridges. I still have the low ink message, and the Mac still says the cartridges are low on ink and that the printer is offline. I found that the printer was, in fact, offline, so I re-installed it onto the wireless network. But the low ink message is still present, even though the printer says that the cartridges are filled to the top and the Mac still says that the printer is offline.
   On a whim, I booted up with OS Lion and saw the same behaviour. Then I tried booting up with OS Leopard and found that the Mac was reporting that the cartridges were full, that the printer was online, and that I could print. I've contacted Lexmark Tech Support, who advised me to re-install the printer onto the wireless network, which I've done.   Using Snow Leopard, I have downloaded and installed a Lexmark driver which is appropriate for Snow Leopard. Can see no difference.
    I'm hopeful that someone has seen similar behaviour and can point me to a solution.

Low ink message for Deskjet D1341 connected to HP Pavillion always on

Printing continues fine and I replace the cartridge when the ink actually fades. Is there a way to permanently disable this low ink message and is it safe to do so?

Hi - I'm not aware of any time limit with HP cartridges, other than an expiration date, due to the ink and the possibility of it drying up. However, I wouldn't expect that to cause a low ink warning. Try the steps in this document. If that doesn't resolve it, you'll probably need to replace the cartridge.
Hope that helps.

DJ 940c: Installed 78XL Cartridge, it works; printer cartridge light off; Toolbox Low Ink warning on

This is a real workhorse printer and I love it. And looking at this forum, many people feel the same way for everyday color printing. But, on Wednesday, 7/7, I bought a bew HP tri-color cartridge because the old cartridge had run out of yellow ink (for real), the printers's cartridge light was staying on and the HP DeskJet 940c Series Toolbox program had a "Tri-Color Print Cartridge Low On Ink" warning in my Win XP SP3 System Tray. The office supply chain store I went did not have the usual HP 15-78 Combo cartridge set I buy nor did it have an HP 78 tri-color standalone cartridge. They did have a 78XL tri-color cartrige which (supposedly) can print "up to 2X MORE PAGES" because it has twice the amount of ink the HP 78 cartridge has. The package listed the HP deskjet 940 and the store tech person assured me the cartige would fit and I bought it, installed it (yes, it did fit), and aligned the cartridges. A test print using a sprite jpg file I got from Amazon's site printed beautifully. The printer's cartridge light was off but then I noticed the icon in the System Tray. The HP DeskJet 940c Series Toolbox program still had a "Tri-Color Print Cartridge Low On Ink" warning. I turned the printer off, waited awhile, turned the printer on, still had the warning. Restarted the computer. Still had the warning. Am I doomed to always have this Low Ink warning with the 78XL cartridge? Is there some value in the Window's Registry I can chage so the warning goes away until one of the cartridge colors really does get low on ink? If I can do this and I actually do this deed, will the problem occur again if I install an 15XL cartridge? Is this a problem becuause the printer driver or some other HP software does not recognize the signals coming from the 78XL Cartrige chip? If this is the case, are you going to update the drivers from way back (say Microsoft unsupported Windows98 to and through Windows 7, skip 8.x, and 10?

Is the cartridge an original HP or is it a third party remanufactured or refilled cartridge? If you open the printer lid with the power on where does the carriage pointer point?

I received a low ink warning on my mac for my epson artisan 837 printer. I replaced the cartridge that was low but it still reads low ink on the mac but reads full on the epson control panel. I am also receiving a communication error between the mac

What exactly is the error?
And, we'd need some info re. your Mac model and OS version - you are not running iOS on it.
You need to realize that this model has been discontinued and the last driver updates are dated about a year ago. If you are running Mavericks, there may not be an updated driver for it. But you can try to delete the printer and add it again to see if that will work.

Full ink cartridges, test page prints in colour but any other printing is black and white

I've replaced low ink cartridges cyan and magenta, not empty, and despite the test page printing colour, any other printing is in black and white.
I chosen to print in colour when given the option.
Help!

Hello jonnyken,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you are unable to print color from your Chromebook to your Officejet 6700, but it will print color test pages and the inks are full. I would like to offer a Thread that has some great suggestions in it for this issue.

Toner lights and power light blinks and printer won't work

The ink lights are blinking in sequence along with the power button. I have changed all of the ink cartridges with the correct 920 type and have made sure they are all seated correctly. I have also flipped the cartridge carrier lever and reset that. Everything seams to be fine. My computer tells me that all the ink levels are full after inserting the new cartridges. I have rebooted the printer with and without the usb connection, cleared all printer jobs and it still keeps blinking and won't print. What else can I do?? Appreciate any suggestions.

Hi @salvador64 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're experiencing printer issues. I would like to help!
I would recommend performing a power reset on the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I'd also recommend running through the steps in this document:
