Incorrect printer cartridge for photosmart b209a-m

Purchased a photosmart all in one B209a-m printer but the Black XL cartridges DO NOT fit!
They are the proper length and height but are much much wider than the standard black cartridge (Looking down at the top as they are standing side by side )!
Is there a hardware upgrade to accept black XL cartridges or is the HP Website lying? All the other color XL cartridges fit perfectly though. Doesn't make sense.
Help mister wizard!

Good Morning!
I was so fustrated I took the printer back to "Max" where it was purchased and told that for some reason the base of the recepticle for the Black 564XL was not wide enough to accept the cartridge. HP has made a newer printer (516) that does however accept this cartridge. Now.... just to confuse the issue further... HP now makes a blackXL for my b209a-m but is the same dimensions as the standard cartridge all around. Only holds enough ink for 580 pages though. Better than the standard cartridge but not as good as the larger 564XL. Oh well... lesson learned. Maybe next year I'll get the 516 printer.
Thanks for your reply though!!! Wooo to the whooo!
Continued success in all you do!!!

Ink cartridge for photosmart can i used

dont remember my model but is a photosmart with touchsmart can I used ink cartridge 61

Hi @tercio7
Not knowing your printer model makes it a little difficult to answer your question with a cut and dry yes or no, but I can help you figure it out!
HP 61 2-pack Black/Tri-color Original Ink Cartridges compatibility;
HP Deskjet 1000 Printer series - J110
HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One Printer series - J410
HP Deskjet 2000 Printer series - J210
HP Deskjet 2050 All-in-One Printer series - J510
HP Deskjet 3000 Printer series - J310
HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One Printer series - J610
HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2010 Printer K010
HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2060 All-in-One Printer K110
I guess that was easier than I expected. No, the 61 cartridges do not work with any Photosmart printers.

Do I use 454 or 454XL as my printer cartridges for my HP officeject 4622 series

Do I use 564 or 564XL for my printer cartridge on my HP officeject 4622 series. product#CZ294 A and what is the difference. Thank you

Hi there mahniya,
Welcome to the forums!
The difference between the cartridges is how much ink they hold. XL stands for eXtra Large
So going by the specifications on HP shopping, the 564 black yields approximately 250 pages (depending on what you're printing) and the XL black yields about 550 pages

Why cant i get printer cartridges for my hp deskjet 2050 j510 printer?

This is a new printer -bought for our small family business as part of HP package.
I have had many HP printers and am a loyal customer.
Few of the main printer cartridge suppliers seem to stock the cartridges for this printer.
I have never encountered this problem before.
Anyone encountered this and solved it?
I am in South East of England

Hi SEBALOGAC,
I don't know why the cartridges are hard to find in your area. Perhaps the stores are limiting their stock in these difficult economic times?
However, you can always order the cartridges online at:

Trying to set up my F4500 all in one printer. Printer cartridge port will not center as shown in the diagram.

It is a bit more detailed than a diagram.

Printer cartridge for HP Photosmart 7520

I bought a new HP Photosmart 7520. When changing the photo black inkt cartridge I used one of the catridges I bought some time ago for my former printer. The cartridge is from the 364 series, the production date (?) stamped on the box reads IRELAND Oct 2010. The printer does not accept the cartridge displaying an error message which (translated from Dutch) reads: Incompatible older generation cartridge installed. Does this mean that I have to through away the 364 cartridges I still have left?

Hello there, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I read your post about the message you are seeing when installing an ink cartridge you had purchased some time ago. I have located some information about the message you're seeing and I'de like to share that with you.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion.

Changing the printer cartridges for a HP laserjet 2840

Having a problem with the wheel not going to the next cartridge...there is a message on the display saying "incorrect yellow" but the yellow cartridge has been taken out and it will not go to the next slot. I am out of warranty and need my printer can anyone help??

I have a similar problem, maybe its the same for you, im my case the printer broke down because the cyan ink cartridge was not properly placed on the printer. An error of “Incorrect Yellow” was prompted on the printer screen because it was the yellow cartridge that ended up on top because the cyan ink got stuck at the bottom. What I did was I opened the printer and lifted the lock for the ink rotator. It’s located on the right side of the rotator if you were facing the printer. It’s a silverish metal in between the group of gears. I lifted it up using a screw driver. I was able to rotate back to the improperly placed ink cartridge and replace it back. properly. When latched properly the printer worked again. I’ve placed the top cover back and its ready for printing again. I got the instructions on how to open the top cover in the link below

Changing Default Print Quality for Photosmart Printers in Stand Alone mode

Hello Everyone. I am using a group of Photosmart Printers in Stand Alone mode for events where I shoot and print on site. Although I have quite a few printers with me (6 total at a time), I prefer to have the printers print in "Normal" Print Quality Mode, instead of "Best". Images come out twice as fast, and because I have a disciplined shooting technique, I get "GREAT" results from the "Normal" setting. I and/or my assistant have to go to my "Preferences" to change my Print Quality everytime we prepare to print another batch of photos. Sometimes we have groups that will want 5 copies, and it simply takes FOREVER in Best mode, and really, although with a 5x Loupe I can tell the difference, My customers can't with their naked eye. Sometimes we forget to change the setting due to the pressure of the pace sometimes. OOPS!
I am using the following Photosmart Printers: A516, A512v and the 335.
As I stated, I don't use these with a computer, I drive them straight from CF Cards. I do have all the original software, if I need to use the computer to make some changes. Just tell me how. Manual says nothing about getting the setting to default to normal.
Thank you so very much in advance.
BLAYZE!

Hello:
One way of assuring high quality would be to export the photo to the desktop (at highest quality) and then print from there.
In my own case, I find that when I occasionally print a photo from iPhoto, the quality is quite good.

Print Driver for Photosmart 7550

My can i not get an updated driver for my Photosmart 7550 i have a MAC. I have had this priner for years and love the quality of the photos that is prints. my can HP not make just a photo printer anymore???? i have since bought the HP photosmart 7520 and the print quality is crap. please help

Welcome to the HP Community @ericabomberger
I read through your post about the concerns you're having with your Photosmart 7550 and 7520, and I am here to address them for you.
There areno available drivers for the PS 7550 on Yosemite, as the printer model is older, and Yosemite is quite new.
Your best bet would be to troubleshoot the Print Quality Issues on your PS 7520, as this model is compatible with 10.10. I would suggest trying all of the steps from this guide to help improve the Print Quality problems:
Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Series
If you find that the troubleshooting does not help the PQ, call HP directly to see what your printer options are. You may need a replacement part or printer and technical support can help you in that category.

Can't remove teh print cartridges from Photosmart D5160

I had just installed the printer on a new computer, installed the drivers. I got an indication that the cartridges were lot. I printed a test photo that showed that the cartridges were not printing properly (probably at least partially empty). Now, when I open the lid to try to extract the cartridges; they are blocked by the plastic part tht is in front of them. I've not been able to figure out how to get the printer to fully retract the restraining plastic part.
Any suggestions on what is wrong and how to resolve getting the cartridges out for replacement?

Do you have the printer turned on? The printer must be turned on and idle, then opening the lid should initiate a process that lowers the blocking part. The document here may help.

Printing problems for photosmart 7520

I do not have my printer set up as wireless, because I do not have the equipment (router or modem or whatever it might be called) It is plugged into the back of my tower. I assume that means it is not set up as wireless. I only have one computer, no laptops or anything else.
I am not computer literate, I read several other questions and couldn't quite find my exact problem. I have no idea how to find an IP address either.
The printer used to work fine. The blue light always flashed - I assume because I don't have the wireless equipment
the power button next to that is a white color, doesn't change when I press it or when I unplug the cord from the tower.
UNABLE TO COMUNICATE OR FIND NETWORK PRINTER is the message I get. Can you have a network printer with only 1 computer in the house?
The touch screen is black and does not come on.
Windows 7 64 bit operating system
Not sure exactly what this is off back of printer: FPU CZ045-64004
I tried to install updated software, it didn't make any difference.
I installed the HP doctor thing - would not print test page, think I had to choose network or wireless and I don't think either of those apply.
The only thing that I think might have something to do with my problem is I installed a free AVG PC Tune up.
Any help would be appreciated. I am losing my patience, been at this for 4 hours now.

Hi Christina-D,
I understand that you are having an issue printing with you 7520. I would like to assist with this issue but I do need to clarify a couple of things first so that we are able to narrow down the issue.
First is the printer plugged directly to a wall outlet? If not please plug the printer direct to the wall outlet, so that the printer is getting the right amount of power to work properly.
Second the touch screen on the printer is this black or are you able to see the different icons when the printer is turned on?
Third to test the functionality of the printer, could please print a self test report from the printer itself. I have included a document Printing a Self Test From the 7520
Please let me know the answer to these questions. Thank you.

HP C309g Photosmart Premium Printer - bought new printer cartridges and not printing correctly

I just replaced all 5 of the printer cartridges for the first time today. When I look at the ink levels they are all showing full but when I print it is showing the following:
Photo Black: Shows a Magenta color
Magenta: Shows Magenta
Cyan: Blank
Yellow: Blank
Black: shows black.
I tried taking out and putting in again. Also tried the clean cartridges function. Still not working correctly. Printing only black and magenta.
Please help.

I am having the same problem. The first time it happened, I just unplugged the printer and waited a few seconds and then replugged. It rebooted and work fine for a while. Now it will not scan and the reboot does not work. i have seen other posts about this same problem.
