My printer says print cartridge(s) missing or not detected. I have a HP Photosmart C4200 & the cartridges have worked in the past. I have popped the cartridges out & back in to get it to print twice, but now that doesn't work. Is the problem in my printer or have the drivers installed on my iMac become corrupted? I have the CD that came with the printer but to reinstall the drivers I would need to uninstall the ones on my iMac. I don't know how to do that. Does anyone know how to uninstall printer drivers? My OS is OSx but I don't know which version. My iMac is 3.5 years old.

C4385-print cartridge(s) missing or not detected

Hello - this may be a systemic issue, but we'll begin at the beginning. Moved my printer and plugged in to new location, then began receiving this error message:
print cartridge(s) missing or not detected
have tried reseating both cartridges repeatedly, as well as powering down and up again. i'm stumped. and of course, i really, REALLY need to run this print job.
Any ideas out there?
thanks in advance,
Serenity42

Hi serenity42,
Sorry to hear about your cartridge problem. You can check this article if you haven't tried cleaning the inks yet. You can have the cartridge/s checked by calling HP Tech Support.
Hope this works for you!

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.

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?

Hi - Wish I had better news, but since you've already cleaned both the cartridge and carriage contacts, I'm not aware of anything else you can do, but replace the cartridges.

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.

I have an HP Photosmart Premium C410. It worked great with Mountain Lion, but it doesn't with Mavericks. Can't install any printing s/w even though it's on the network. Anyone know why????

So, this post, as well written as it is, went totally ignored by the HP personnel that are supposedto be "helping" us poor novices? WOW! No wonder this crap gets thrown out of the house so often.
I have two HP network printers. An HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m, and a HP Photosmart Premium C410a, and they are the most unreliable pieces of "equipment" that I have in my network. This is absolutely trhe crappiest bunch of junk on the market. The only thing worse than these "devices" is the support from HP for them.
I also have a HP Photosmart C5280 AIO, and a Deskjet D2345 Printer. I have little, to no, problems with these two. The "flagships" of my network imaging are the worst, of the worst.

I am connected to the computer with my phone and it says there are 0 photos to import, however I have over 200 on my phone to import. I am trying to figure out why they aren't showing up.

I am connected to the computer with my phone and it says there are 0 photos to import, however I have over 200 on my phone to import. I am trying to figure out how to get itunes to recognize the photos on my phone. This has never happened before.

Have you tried to reset the iPhone and tried again to import?
To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I have just had a replacement IPad as the camera stopped working. Now the new iPad won't recognise my aol e mail for face time as well as my apple id. I have tried adding as a second e mail, but it says already in use

I have just had a replacement iPad as the camera stopped working.
Now the new iPad won't receive FaceTime calls at my aol.com email.
If I try to add it as a FaceTime address it just says email address already in use.
I guess it is still linked to the old iPad in some way
Any suggestions? The old I pad is wiped and back in the store

This Apple article should be able to help ya out -> iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'
