Error on installation of new cartridge

I recently changed the 300 color print cartridge (original HP and still within its expiry date) on my F4280 printer, and I got an message saying there is a problem with the cartridge. I tried the old one again and that is OK, but each time I try the new cartrdge I get the same error message. I can't remember where I bought the cartridge from so I can't take it back to the retailer. The HP website has lots of "contact us links but it is impossible to find an address to send the cartridge back to HP for a replacement.

  • Office Pro 8000: Can't Print/Out of Ink Error even after installing new cartridge.

    When I tried to use my printer a few days ago, I received a "Can't Print: Out of Ink" error message concerning the magenta cartridge.  I had used the printer a few days before that, and had not received a low ink warning.  It seemed suspicious to me that I would have received an empty cartridge error message without first receiving a low cartridge warning.  The yellow and cyan cartridges read 70% full - all 3 were original cartridges.
    I purchased a new 940XL magenta cartridge and installed it per instructions.  Now I am getting a message that the new 940XL cartridge is empty.  I can shake the old 940 cartridge and hear liquid inside.  Obviously, the new cartridge is also full.  I've tried cycling power, reinstalling the software, etc, with no change in status.  If I swap back and forth between the old 940 and new 940XL cartridge, they are properly identified by type on my screen as the 940 or 940XL.  Due to the way the problem has presented itself, I don't believe it is a cartridge issue.
    Of course, problem first arouse on May 8th, and my warrantee expired April 26th.  Any suggestions?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I've solved my own problem, which was clearly a factory assembly defect.  I looked inside my printer with a flashlight in the area where the ink cartridges are installed, and found magenta ink sprayed inside the printer.  I disassembled the printer, and found that the magenta line had been damaged during assembly.  There are four ink tubes which exit from behind the ink cartridges, then make a U turn back toward the front of the printer.  Just after the U turn, they make another bend up-wards.  It is at this point that I found the damaged magenta line, directly above a screw on the right-hand side of the ink cartridge housing.  The lines are in a very narrow passage, and are held in place by several keepers molded out of plastic.  It appears that the lines were put in place in the keepers, then the screw inserted from above.  As I said, it is a very tight passage, and it would be very easy to damage the ink line at that point if the lines weren't carefully held back to insert the screw during assembly.
    To solve the problem, I removed approximately 1/4 inch of damaged magenta ink line.  I carefully cut the line with a sharp razor, to prevent collapsing the line or causing burrs to the tubing.  I then placed about 3/4" of self-sealing heat shrink tubing over one end of the ink line.  Next I spliced the line with a small piece of stiff plastic tubing from the handle of a cotton swab, which was a perfect, snug fit over the ink line.  Being careful not to collapse the ink tube or cause further damage, I gently twisted the ink line back and forth until the ends were butted up inside the cotton swab splice.  I then positioned the heat-shrink tubing over the splice, and shrunk it with a hair dryer.  The heat-shrink tubing I used has hot-melt glue applied to the inside, which further aided in making a leak-proof splice.  Again, there is not a lot of room, so the splice had to be kept small.
    I reassembled the printer, reinstalled the ink cartridges, and powered up the printer.  After the normal, long start-up delay, I printed several full-color test sheets, and all was fine.  The magenta cartridge that I had installed previously now shows that it is full, and the remaining cartridges also read the levels that they had prior to disassembly.

  • 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.

  • New cartridge for HP Photosmart 6510 appears faulty

    I have just replaced the old magenta cartridge in my HP Photosmart 6510 printer with a brand new one, from a 4-pack, and it is now telling me that one or cartridges appears to be missing or damaged. The new catridge appears fine and is vented, and repeat re-installations or switching off the printer do not help.  I have tried cleaning contacts but all looks very clean. I managed to get the printer working again with the old magenta cartridge until that definitely ran out, but now the same error is detected, leaving me with a printer which will not work even to print black-only.  I bought the original cartridge as part of a 4-pack from Amazon, so have little chance of returning the fauly cartridge (even if they accepted it was faulty).  Looks like I will have to get a new magenta one and hope that works, but in the meantime, has anyone any ideas how I can persuade the printer to work using just black?

    Hello,  There could be two possibility for this issue,  Ink cartridge that you bought or the Printhead .  Try installing the old cartridge and check if the error shows up.If yes, then its an issue with the printhead, and the printer need to be replaced as the printhead is fixed part in this printer. If No, then the new cartridge is a faulty one, contact HP Tech Support for further assistance. If the new cartridge is HP Genuine, then iam sure Tech Support should  help you out in getting the cartridge repalced ( if you are in USA ). Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS3: Fatal error during installation

    Hello,
    I just bought the AI CS3. It installed OK on my friend's laptop (windows). However, when I clicked the big button in the installation:
    "Install Adobe Illustrator CS3"
    A window showed:
    Initializing Adobe Illustrator...
    Then I got a message:
    "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer Support for assistance. Fatal error during installation".
    I've tried several times. My computer meets all the requirements (it's a really new and faster PC). And there's no old versions of AI on it yet.
    Can anyone help? Thanks!!!

    Do you have any other Adobe products on your computer? When I installed CS3 on my Mac, I kept getting failures. After contacting Adobe, they told me I had to delete ALL other Adobe products -- including Flash and Adobe Reader. Plus, I had to do searches and delete any support files associated with them. It took hours!

    My 8500 tries to align after new cartridges installed, followed by "alignment failure" message. Initially started when I tried to print simple black type document and it came out blank. I have reset, unplugged, re-installed the cartridges, and still no improvement. 

    Hello David_W,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with an Alignment error.
    I do have some steps that we can take to troubleshoot this issue.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have also located a document on An 'Alignment failed' Error Message Displays on the Printer Control Panel.
    Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.

  • Fatal error during installation - Error 1603 ONLY on XP

    My Dears,
    while installing any CS3 or CS4 Adobe product for my friend, at ~90% of installation error comes up:
    "Adobe Photoshop CS4
    Error:
    Error 1603. Fatal error during installation."
    I am struggling to solve it for 3 days now, and of corse I have seen and tryied all things proposed in posts like this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/373577 , but still nothing helps me.
    Thats list of all things that I have tryied to do:
    - CleanUp fix
    - Uninstalling all Adobe before fix
    - Turning Internet off fix
    - Turning anti-vir things off fix
    - Registery fix
    - Starting from CLEAN new system fix
    - Changing language from US to International fix
    Still nothing. Probably thats the point of problem:
    Current Situation:
    Got ACER ASPIRE x3200 desktop width Windows Vista (preinstalled), did clean installation of Windows XP and dumped Vista
    There is no official drivers for XP, but got cracked chipset driver and official nVidia 8200 driver for XP from Internet
    Got all Service Packs
    100% legal
    If nothing is working, maybe thats becaouse of my PC?! Installed it on my laptop with Vista 32b - WORKS (it means that installation CD is not corruptet or something). But then I have tryied to install it on another laptop with XP PRO - fail as with my PC. It seems that Windows XP Pro is not good for CS3 or CS4, BUT it did months before in my old unbranded PC.
    Help! I really want to install that stuff.

    I was only speaking very generally...  This is all common sense...
    Adobe and other software makers are moving on from XP in their development.  Thus XP becomes more and more troublesome to use as the likelihood of problems increases.
    In the case of installation, a lot of very specific things are required of an installer so that it can work on Windows 7.  The User Account Control (UAC) system and other security measures such as file permissions have to be completely and properly satisfied to install software on the newer systems.  Indeed, the application itself even has to work differently to be compliant - reference the recent 12.0.2 issues with loading scanner drivers for example, or the fact that Photoshop needs to put some things under C:\Users\... now that always used to be put under C:\Program Files\Adobe\...
    It's not hard to imagine that Adobe isn't testing software as thoroughly on XP as they once did either.  Perhaps they missed one of the quirks of XP in pursuit of getting it to install properly on Windows 7.
    You're putting a new cutting edge software application on an operating system designed nearly 10 years ago (an epoch in high tech).  That you don't see even more problems is a testament to Adobe's committment to support XP.

  • Error during installation:"Invalid Eclipse platform version" (have 3.0RC3)

    I saw a new version of bpel designer on otn for download. As I hoped that it would solve my previous problem ('db schema not found') I downloaded and tried to install it.
    Unfortunately I get an error during installation: "Invalid Eclipse platform version". I know that at least version 3 has to be installed. The .eclipseproduct file tells me that it is version 3.0.0. I have downloaded and installed the Eclipse SDK 3.0RC3 version a couple days ago. So it looks like that the version is OK. But I can't get around this error message.
    Any ideas?

    I've downloaded the GA version of Eclipse and it works now.
    During the installations I saw some minor things that I'll share with you:
    - path to the bpel server can be left empty, however there is a '/' already. So you have to chose a directory or delete it before you can go further otherwise an error appears. Maybe it is easier to not have the '/'.
    - I wanted to have the designer and PM in the same directory. But choosing the same dir led to a warning for overwriting the dir. I didn't dare thus now I have 2 dir's. ( 1 for designer and 1 for PM).
    -After installation I don't have entries in 'Start''Programs''oracle' to start the PM. This was also the case with the previous version. I start PM via the 'bat'-files under the PM/bin dir.
    - starting the batch file: startOraBpel.bat starts with an error; "The system cannot find the file C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe /e:4096."
    - Last but not least: I hoped that this would solve my re-install problem 'cannot lookup db schema version' but unfortunately that's not the case.
