Fix For Incompatible Ink Cartridge(s) Error for 4280?

I was printing a series of 10 pages and on the 7th page the copy came out looking like double-vision!  The screen on the printer displays the error "Incompatible Ink Cartridge(s)".  The unit will not function at all.  I have shut down the printer, unplugged and replugged from both the rear of the printer and the wall.  I have taken out the ink cartridges and reinstalled.  Nothing works.  I find it hard to believe that I need two new ink cartridges when there never was a hint of reduced ink quality up until the point of the error.  PLEASE HELP!!!

Are you using genuine hp ink?  There are a lot of companies out there imitating HP ink cartridges which are a lot more affordable.  I dont think HP likes the competition, so its possible their printers check for an authentication.  Maybe your genuine HP cartridges aren't authenticating properly.  I have been having this problem with my j4550, as well as having read posts from other users with this problem.  Try removing and re-installing the offensive cartridges.  This works on occasion for me, but you have to do it every so often.   If this doesn't work, and if HP doesn't publish an update for the Firmware, consider the new line of Kodak printers!  They advertise their ink is cheap enough they dont have to do this.  I have used HP printers for years, but if they cant figure this one out to better suit the consumers, perhaps it is time to switch companies.

  • Incompatible ink cartridge for hp deskjet ink advantage 3545

    I recently purchased hp deskjet ink advantage 3545. Till yesterday it was working fine. Today it started giving an error of  incompatible ink cartridge. I have neither changed the cartridge neither refilled the ink. In this forum I read that it could be issue of power cable. However, I also have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet. Please help.

  • HP Printer 4235--incompatible ink cartridge

    I need someone's help.  I was using my printer HP 4235, but had to leave for a couple of hours.  I didn't turn the computer or printer off as I was sure I was coming back to print.  Now I get the incompatible ink cartridge and this is the same cartridge that I was using 2 hours before.  It was doing a great job.  If you can't help me, and in the words of that great profit, Ralph Cramden, "This printer, to the moon Alice."  Help please.

    I just finished chatting with a VERY helpful support guy on the HP website.  Apparently, my printer has "identified" my old print cartridge as a clone (non-HP) or as having been refilled.  The only problem I have with that is that it was brand new when my boss purchased it from a reputable big office supply chain.  My only option is to purchase a new print cartridge.  Guess that's what we will do, but this time I will keep the receipt until the cartridge runs out of ink.  Maybe the store would replace it instead.  Though I don't believe we found the real problem, I am impressed with the dedication of the support tech with my case.  I would love to think that your problem is different than mine, but you won't really know unless you call or chat with support.  Good luck.

  • Incompatible Ink Cartridge????

    I have a Officejet 6500 wireless printer, which has always performed admirably.  However, it is now telling me that i have an incompatible ink cartridge.  Its the magenta, which has been in there for at least 2 weeks already, printing along just fine.  The HP service center tells me that the magenta is really an ink cartridge for the Photosmart printer, which is ludicrous!  We have a Photosmart, and its ink cartridge wouldnt fit in the Officejet if i tried!  I have tried installing new printer drivers, closing the printer and restarting, replacing the ink cartridges, all to no avail.  Please help!

    Hi - first of all, let me apologize for how long it has taken for you to get a response. I don't know how this got overlooked.
    Your Officejet 6500 uses HP 920 ink cartridges. This must be what you have installed, since you say that the cartridge worked for two weeks before you saw the Incompatible Cartridge message. When you replaced this cartridge, you replaced it with a 920 Magenta, right? And you saw exactly the same, Incompatible Cartridge, message?
    I'm not sure what the service center was getting at, but there are Photosmart cartridges that look similar to the 920, but which would not work in your Officejet 6500. These cartridges would be number 564, if you are in North America. HP 564 cartridges are not compatible with the Officejet 6500.
    Please let me know if you are still having problems (I sure hope you've managed to figure this out though, as it's been so long).

  • Incompatible Ink Cartridges

    Hello,
    My printer is currently giving me the error "Incompatible Ink Cartridges." This started occurring directly after a print, a print that came out poorly (faded text). The ink cartridges are half full and have never been replaced, in other words they are the factory default cartridges that were shipped with the printer.
    I've tried all recommended solutions, including taking out the cartridges and cleaning circuits on the cartridges. 
    The printer model is HP Photosmart D110. 
    Thank you to anybody who can help.

    Nothing elegant about it. However, if the cartridge that was bad is geniune HP, there is a good warranty on those cartridges:

  • Incorrect Ink Cartridge Empty error

    I receive an Ink Cartridges Empty message for the yellow cartridge, when I try to print.  I am given the option to either cancel and replace the cartridge or print in black only.  I have replaced the cartridge twice, but still get the message.  Does anyone know what I might do to fix this?  Thanks.

    Hello kirkpat
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand you are getting a faulty out of ink message on your printer. Now you did not specify which printer you have so I am going to give you some general instructions to try. First ensure that your printer is plugged directly into the wall and not into a power bar or surge protector. If you are curious as to why I ask this you can review at your leisure the HP Support document: Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. Now I would also like you to power cycle the printer, this means you turn it off, unplug it from both the wall and the back of the printer and wait a full minute before replugging it back in. If you are still getting the issue turn off the printer and unplug it again, after which I would like you to remove the ink and the printhead (if the printer has a printhead) and start the printer up without them installed. If you still get the error there is a printer issue. If you do not get the error then it is most likely an issue with the cartridges. Either way you can put them back in and call HP Technical support for additional help with this.

  • HP Deskjet 1510 Tri-color Ink Cartridge Error

    I just bought a HP Deskjet 1510 back in August and I loaded the HP original ink cartridges that come with the purchase. For the first 5 print jobs it was working well, but somehow after a while my laptop and the printer itself just kept warning that there's low ink level in the cartridges (especially the tri-color one). I haven't even got to use the tri-color cartridge much as I've been printing in grayscale ever since I've used this printer. 
    I've tried taking the cartridge out and putting it back in again; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I thought it might be a contact issue so I cleaned those parts too but it didn't change anything.
    It's getting extremely frustrating as I'll have to do this for god knows how many times for every single page I print or copy. This happens to the black cartridge too but 90% of the time it's the tri-color cartridge.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Hello @ut32w , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I hope you had a great holiday!
    I understand from reading your post that you are running into cartridge errors.  I'd like to help!
    I would first suggest removing the ink cartridges, and performing 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.
    I would also recommend running through the steps listed in the document below:

    Have you ever received the "Incompatible Print Cartridge" message? This can be caused by defective cartridges, dirty cartridge contacts, or using the wrong cartridges for your printer or region. If you get this message after moving to a different country and using a different HP ink you will need to call HP support and have them explain how to change the region of your printer.

  • INK CARTRIDGE PROBLEM CARRIAGE WON'T MOVE 7520

    my error is INK CARTRIDGE PROBLEM............. but no matter all attempts suggested( like plug,  unplug , turn off and on.  hp download to scan problems did show the ICP being the issue).   the carriage won't move to the center.  i was in the middle of installiing new hp 564 cartridges.  took out the first cartridge black and i did not have another to fill spot. tried to install old c artridge.  shut printer cover and next i went to open it the carriage won't move to the middle.  ran the scans for testing and all say INK CARTRIDGE PROBLEM and the control board will not allow me to get out of that message to run any tools from the control board.  Please help.................please.  Have warranty but do not know what that will cover if problem cannot be fix.  

    Hey there @lynnriley0785!
    I would be happy to provide some help regarding the ink cartridge problem error on your Photosmart 7520!  The first thing I suggest is to plug the printer into the wall outlet directly if it is currently in a power surge protector or extension cord. This may sound silly but this will ensure the printer is getting full power and may eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting. If the printer is no longer getting full power from the power surge or extension cord it may give false errors, have poor connection,paper feed issues, quality issues and jam issues. 
    If the carriage is still stuck in the printer with the cartridge problem error then I suggest removing the power cable and trying to manually move the carriage with your hand.  If the carriage moves then remove all the cartridges, close the printer and plug it back in.  Once the printer comes back on see if you can install the cartridges again.
    If you cannot get the carriage to move remove the power  and check for any jammed paper in the printer.  I have provided a document with instructions on all the places to check for a possible piece of jammed paper.

    I have a Photosmart D7460 and have installed "genuine" HP replacement ink cartridges purchased from Office Depot or Staples continually.  All colors - EXCEPT YELLOW - have been 'recognized' by the printer as "genuine".  I get the non-HP ink cartridge message every time I turn on the printer.   This continues to happen - even after I've replaced that and the other colors a dozen times since that message first appeared. 
    Does someone know how to inform the printer that it is a genuine HP product and stop the message from appearing?

  • Ink cartridge problem lock out

    Hi.New user. New printer.  Printer has colour and black catridges. I have run out of ink before and changed both black and colour cartridges. My wife ignored low black ink alert and now the printer screen shows :- Ink Cartridge problem. The following cartridges must be replaced.The rest of the screen is blank except for a little black bow-tie. No other bars or colours, no buttons no icons. I have changed the black ink cartridge (twice) to no avail. I have downloaded new software (update release 30th july). I have cleaned contacts etc. No fix so far. HP printer and scan doctor just tells me to fit a new cartridge. I can print with the black cartridge removed. ( Single cartridge mode) .Next move is to reset to factory defaults but I haven't found out how to do that.  HELP !   PLEASE! 

    Hey there @lynnriley0785!
    I would be happy to provide some help regarding the ink cartridge problem error on your Photosmart 7520!  The first thing I suggest is to plug the printer into the wall outlet directly if it is currently in a power surge protector or extension cord. This may sound silly but this will ensure the printer is getting full power and may eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting. If the printer is no longer getting full power from the power surge or extension cord it may give false errors, have poor connection,paper feed issues, quality issues and jam issues. 
    If the carriage is still stuck in the printer with the cartridge problem error then I suggest removing the power cable and trying to manually move the carriage with your hand.  If the carriage moves then remove all the cartridges, close the printer and plug it back in.  Once the printer comes back on see if you can install the cartridges again.
    If you cannot get the carriage to move remove the power  and check for any jammed paper in the printer.  I have provided a document with instructions on all the places to check for a possible piece of jammed paper.
