Message: Print Cartridge missing or not Detected

The subject is the warning message I get. are cartridges out of ink or maybe dried ink on cartridge or contacts

Hi @DK240 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I can see you're having cartridge issues. I'd like to help!
To start, remove the ink cartridges from the printer, and perform a power reset. 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.
Second, I'd recommend running through the steps in the following document:
A 'Cartridge Problem', 'Incompatible Cartridge', or 'Cartridge Missing or Damaged' Message Displays ...
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Error message "print head failure"

My photosmart 7520 has suddenly shown error message "print head failure", I have followed the cleaning instructions on the hp website, pulled the tabs out on each cartridge & made sure they clicked in correctly. The printer is only about 8 months old. Help!

Hello Effi,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the error "print head failure".
I realize that you have already stated that you did some cleaning advised from a document that you used from the HP web site.
I do however have a few other steps that I suggest we try in the attempt 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 that deals with the following error 'Problem with Printhead,' 'Printer Failure,' 'Ink System Failure,' or a '0x...' or a 'C2...' Error M....
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Photosmart C4280 - "print cartridge missing or not detected"

keep getting that message, have turned off/onprinter, changed cartridges ?? still not responding -- can't print. thanks

Hi @Neil0401 ,
I understand that you are getting the error message that the " Print Cartridge Missing or Not Detected".
I would like to help you out with this issue today.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue. Some of the steps you have already tried.
An 'Incompatible Cartridge' or 'Print cartridge is missing, incorrectly installed, or not intended f...

How to fix - print cartridge(s) missing or not detected

have an all-in-one c4280 photosmart, CC210A. getting message that cartridges are not detected. Both are properly loaded. I suspect a sensor is crapped out. maybe ink over-spray over time? how to fix??

I had been printing and the message "Print cartidge missing or not detected" came up. I knew I was in trouble when I tried a new HP cartridge and it didn't change the message. Found this site and I have tried all the steps in the "How to Fix - Print Cartridges missing or not detected" and nothing has worked so far. Also found a thread on another site about how to do a partial reset on your printer. That didn't work either. I have had the printer 4 years. What are the chances of repairing...and where can I take it to get repaired ....or is it worth it?

Print head error message

Tried printing and get an error message "Print head error". Tried the turn off - unplug for 60 s - turn on again, same problem. Printer was working well before, all cartridges original HP (never used anything else). Also tried taking out the cartridges and re-inserting them carefully. Using the cartridge clean option in config doesn't seem to work (nothing seems to happen). Printer is connected by local network cable, diagnostics from the PC give same result.Please help?

, Welcome to the HP Forums I read about the "Printhead" error you're facing on your Officejet 6830, and wanted to reach out. I saw that you had tried a power reset, reseating the cartridges, and running a cartridge/printhead clean, to no avail. As you have tried the steps for a printhead problem, next please consider contacting HP directly, to discuss your next printer options. Step 1. Open link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
Step 2. Enter Product number or select to auto detect
Step 3. Scroll down to "Still need help? Complete the form to select your contact options"
Step 4. Scroll down and click on: HP contact options - click on Get phone number
Case number and phone number appear. I hope this helps!

Photosmart C4580 All-In-One - Error Message: Print Cartridge(s) missing or not detected

Hi
I have recently encountered a problem with my printer.
I went to print a document and the following error message was displayed on the printer "Print Cartridge(s) missing or not detected", and the document would not print.
I am unsure as to why this message was displayed as I had not changed anything to do with the printer.
The cartridges that were in the printer had been in the printer since October so I thought that it could be due to the cartridges needing to be replaced, therefore, I changed the black ink cartridge. Once the cartridge had been replaced the error message disappeared and the document printed.
However, I went to print another document shortly after and the error message reappeared and the document would not print.
Due to the fact that changing the black cartridge cleared the error message, I replaced the colour cartridge, however, this did not cure the error message this time.
I have followed all of the advice on the HP support pages about cleaning the contacts etc, however, it has not worked. I have also contacted the support team by Email, but have had no reply.
Does anyone know how to cure the problem, or if in fact it can be cured. I am a university student and desperately need the use of my printer, so any help would be appreciated.

Hi
Yes it did get resolved in the end.
It seems that the fault came from using remanufactured or re-filled cartridges.
I had to replace both of the cartridges so that they were genuine HP cartridges.
Originally I only replaced the one that was causing the problem, but in the end I had to replace both of them. This then resolved the problem immediately.
I hope this helps.
If not, I would advise contacting the HP support team as when they finally replied to my email they were very helpful and quick to reply to queries and offer advice and suggestions.
