Photosmart C4200 Printer - Ink Cartridges

Hi all,
Perhaps a dumb question but I wanted to check. I want to buy new ink cartridges for my Photosmart C4200. I have usually bought the standard 350/351 cartridges but was wondering if I can buy the 350XL & 351XL ones instead? Will they fit?
Many thanks in advance!
Darren

Thanks, but I tried both of those with no success. Amazon.com has been helpful.

Can't connect Airport Express & a HP Photosmart c4200 Printer

I think these discussion boards are great. I was hoping someone could possibly shed some light on a small issue I'm having connecting an Airport Express & a HP Photosmart c4200 Printer.
I have the Printer hooked up to the Airport Express, but when I go to print, I get a message telling me my printer is offline. My Airport express recognizes the printer and I have the printer on. I'm not quite sure what the problem is.
I'm relatively new to this so any help that someone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Is printer is detected in airport utility?
Is green light ON on your airport extreme? or orange light flashing?
Some printers are not compatible with airport extreme.
I had the same problem with my brother printer, all I did was turned my firewall off & restared the computer and airport extreme..wallah it worked than I turned my firewall back on.

Photosmart C309a black ink cartridge will not print

Hi.
I am having problems with my Photosmart Premium C309a printer. It will not print using the black ink cartridge. I pulled this printer out of storage and the original cartridges had run out. I replaced these with brand new cartridges. When printing a quality report, everything turns out fine except there is no text and no black square from the black ink cartridge (however the photo black cartridge DOES print). Printing a page of text just results in a blank page. However, images and coloured text print out fine.
I have tried a lot of troubleshooting steps listed on these forums and elsewhere. Soaking the pritnhead seems to be the most effective solution for others but this has not worked for me. However I cleaned the printhead very thoroughly and there is no trace of ink anywhere in it. So far I have discovered that it is a hardware issue rather than a software one as there is no black ink on pages I try to photocopy. I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:
Turning both the printer and PC off and on again
Resetting the printer to factory defaults
Reinstalling the ink cartridges
Automatically cleaning the printhead (several times)
Aligning the printhead (fails - probably due to the absence of black ink)
Soaking the printhead in hot water (twice)
Rinsing the printhead under running hot water
Manually scrubbing the printhead with cotton buds
Making sure the cartridges are vented properly
I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I 've soaked the heads, I've put genuine ink in. I've tried everything but cannot get it to print in the Black XL. Prints all other colors and the photo black, but no in text black. So irritated right now !!!
HELP ! ! !
I've even did a hard factory reset.

My printer says print cartridge(s) missing or not detected. I have a HP Photosmart C4200. The cartridges were working. I popped the cart.'s out

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.

Can I use Replacement Printer ink cartridges for HP officejet Pro 8610

I recently purchased an HP OfficeJet Pro 8610. I previously had an 8600. They both use the same ink cartridges. I had just installed some remanufactured 950 XL and 951 XL cartridges in the old printer and tried to use them in the new printer. Of course I got an error message that cartridges weren't HP but the printer would still work. I would like to know if I can use other remanufactured ink cartridges with the new printer or if there is some way for the printer to allow me to use other ink cartridges as the HP cartridges are way over priced for the consumers. I hope there is a person out there that is conservative like me and tries to find the best bargains on everything. Your solutions would be appreciated. I waited on HP Support Assistant for 10 minutes with a dialogue I would be connected to a technician in less than a minute. They must have been on break or some other excuse, so I thought I would try this instead. Blessings. John Richardson

Hey @rockhoundjohn
Here's the thing, yes, you can refill your cartridges or use remanufactured cartridges, but you may run into problems.
QualityLogic, one of the world's foremost quality assurance organizations, tested the performance of HP inkjet print cartridges vs. remanufactured (refilled) brands. The results: original HP inkjet print cartridges far surpassed ink refills in both print quality and reliability.
Nearly one out of every six refilled ink cartridges tested was dead on arrival or failed prematurely
70% of refilled cartridges had some form of reliability problem
Count on HP original ink cartridges for consistent, worry-free printing. You may think you're saving money on remanufactured or refilled ink cartridges, but in the long run, the cost of wasted time, ink, and paper can more than make up the difference. - Source
Most people think, 'well of course that is what HP or an HP representative would say', but I have done some research and found that many others have too. Here is a perfect example of somebody who does not work for HP in any way and basically is a customer advocate (in my opinion) ; Should you refill your printer’s ink cartridges? HP says no (of course) By Matthew Murray
I found the above article interesting and genuine.
My personal recommendation is to buy the HP XL cartridges as they are more cost efficient, and be mindful in the printer you choose when buying an inkjet. The 8610 was a good choice. The expected page yield of the HP 950XL High Yield Black Original Ink Cartridge is 2300 pages. The regular size cartridge page yield is 1000, still good but the XL is by far a better value. Some of the Photosmart printers or Deskjets are great for what they are intended for, but do not have as good of a cost per page.
HP's recommendation; Keep in mind that page yield is just one component of cost, and that factors such as quality, reliability, productivity, and efficiency affect cost as well. Products that work reliably will ultimately save you time and money. When you choose an inkjet printer, make sure you consider your individual printing needs.
- Source
To summarize, again, yes you can refill the cartridges. The printer is not programmed to reject them. Sometimes the cartridges will not work and of course because they are non HP, HP would not be able to do anything to help. HP cartridges have a 2 year manufacture warranty; Limited Warranty for HP Ink Cartridges and Customer-Replaceable Printheads for HP Inkjet Supplies, this may give you comfort knowing HP stand behind their product.

HP Photosmart D7560 replacement ink cartridges

I need to replace the Black ink cartridge in my D7560 printer.
When I went to install the replacement cartridge it was nearly 1/8" wider than the original, and will not fit in the print head?
I bought 4 of these for when replacements were needed. All are HP's, Photosmart 564 black. The boxes are all marked HP CB316WN Option 140, and say clearly they are for my D7560 printer. What gives here?
Marc, waiting to print

Hi Gwain,
You certainly do have the right product for your printer. The cartridge should fit, but might be a bit snug.
Your printer takes 5 cartridges. The black cartridge you're trying to use should install on the right side, slightly separate from the color pack (the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black photo). It won't fit into the black photo slot. Take a look at the cartridge replacement instructions on http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01500662&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3396085&tmp... and let me know if that works for you.
Thank you,

Printer Ink cartridges differentiation

I have an HP Photosmart 7520 printer with the 5 ink cartridges; 564 photo and 564 black. My "black ink" level is low, but my "light black ink" level is fine. Which "black" cartridge needs to be replaced - the photo or the black? Thank you

Hi, There are 2 black cartridges and the narrow one is now called Photo ink cartridge, the wider one called Black ink cartridge. You can check ink levels to know which one, the empty cartridge will have a ! and you have to replace it. To check ink level please simply touch the dropplet symbolon the printer control panel. Regards.

Life and Cost of Photosmart D110a Printer Black cartridge

With my new photosmart came a black ink cartridge that printed probably less than 100 pages, then I discovered the cost of the cartridges if you get them from HP and am wondering where one might get them at a reasonable price. At the HP price they ar not competitive with a vall point pen.

Since word and pictures, and even pdf prints fine, that means the printer is not the problem.
I would try a different browser, and see if the problem goes with the browser or is with the web site. If you are using IE or chrome, try Firefox.

Photosmart 8750 replacement ink cartridges

I am having difficulty finding replacement HP 101 and HP 102 ink cartridges for my Photosmart 8750 printer.
Is HP no longer supporting this printer? Is there a workaround available by replacing the cartridges with some other series? Can I set up the printer to print without the missing cartridges?
It seems a shame to junk the printer as it works well and has given me excellent service.

Thanks, but I tried both of those with no success. Amazon.com has been helpful.

Hp photosmart c4200 printer

My printers is showing I have a missing black cartridge. I have replaced it with a new one, cleaned the connections & it still shows I am missing this cartridge. Any ideas?

Hi gienger,
Did you try an alignment of your new cartridge?
Most probably the printhead on the printer itself is causing the problem and since the printhead on this printer is integrated, there's no way for us to replace it but this printer may need replacement if it still fails on detecting the black ink cartridge.

Used Printer Ink Cartridge Program

Greetings;
I just purchased an HP Printer after having my Lexmark for quite a while. Lexmark has a Used Print Cartridge Return Program where they-after so many returns reward you with a free print cartridge, etc.
So, that is an incentive to send in the returns.
HP needs to come up with a program like that.
I saw the rewards for using the new cartridge and there is nothing that I would ever use. So, therefore is no incentive for me to return my used cartridges.

Hp oficejet printer ink cartridge 564xl comb pack

when i replace the 564xl comb pack can I just replace the black cartridge only?

Hi @mpcannon,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are wondering if you can just replace the black cartridge only with your HP Officejet 4620. I am happy to answer this for you!
I would recommend to read through page 214 of your printer's user guide. Which I believe will have your answer.
I would also suggest reading this article, Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers.
Hope this answers your question, and have a great day!

PHOTOSMART 7520 PRINTER SETUP CARTRIDGE

iI mistakenly trashed the 564 setup cartridge..printer will not function without this...is there a substitute cartridge that I can use???

Had you done the initial setup of the printer? If so you can use standard cartridges available at the store. If the cartridges were misplaced before the printer was set up you will need to contact HP for replacement setup cartridges, these are not available in stores.

Photosmart C6280 Ink Cartridges - CB284W vs C8775WN

I recently purchased ink cartridges for my Photosmart C6280 printer. The new cartridges were CB284W but what came with my printer and what comes up when I search for ink for my printer is C8775WN. Is there a difference? When I asked the seller what the difference they said "those were starter cartridges", but didn't specify which ones they were talking about. Please help!

Hi,
Although this document contains a different error message, the troubleshooting steps will guide you to hopefully satisfactory results. This will walk you through resetting the printer.

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).
