Printer not recognizing new cartridges installed

I have a Deskjet 1050 all in one J410 series. Just installed 2 new print cartridges. Printer is not recognizing the cartridges. Cartridge light keeps blinking.

I suggest try reinstall the cartridges following the directions in this page: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c02835867, there is a video too. If still getting the error, the cartridges maybe defective and probably get a replacement.

C5180 Not recognizing new cartridges

Hey to those who can help;
I have a C5180 that needed a new black ink cartridge and 2 others that were "expired." (dont know how ink expires but ya..) So I replaced all of them and now every time I attempt to print it says replace Black, and the other 2 cartridges because they are empty (prompt comes on the computer screen). I can copy at will and have reset my computer and printer multible times. Any thoughts on what to do? If not any recommendations on a a good toner printer since I'm done with these ink burners. Thanks for any input you can give!
Thank you

I downloaded carbon copy. transferred entire internal hd to new replacement HD thru USB. computer booted from replacement hrdrive. then installed replacement hard rive into iMac. when rebooting imac did not recognized new replacement hd.

i downloaded carbon copy. transferred entire internal hd to new replacement HD thru USB adapter kit. computer booted from replacement hrdrive. then i erased the internal hardrive and reloaded the operating system.( i needed to find out if the hard drive was bad or virus/worm was the cause). then installed replacement hard drive into iMac. when rebooting, imac did not recognized new replacement hd. i also upgraded memory at the same time. ok what did i do wrong. do i have to remove the new replacement hardrive to extract the data.

It should not matter. CCC will "clone" the recovery partition as well, but not knowing exactly what operation you had CCC perform it is difficult to know what may have gone wrong - it has many customizable options and you have to choose the correct one.
I have performed the same transplant as you described and didn't have a problem, but if your Mac is not recognizing the internal HD you really have no choice other than to reinitialize it as suggested. After that, install OS X, upgrade to Mountain Lion if required, and migrate your old account(s) from your backup.
my backups have backups.
I assume you didn't mean that literally. Have redundant backups - don't "back up your backups".

I have the same problem. Please help.

5530 music player not recognizing new songs

hi all,
new problem for me. the nokia music player is not recognizing new music. it just files them under unknown. the files are properly tagged. the only way to get it to recognize the files is to format the sd card and put the music back on the card.
also after deleting music, the player still has the files in its unknown folder, even after updating the music library.
very frustrating as i use the phone everyday as my main music player. this problem has only turned up in the past couple of weeks, with me changing nothing else on the phone.
any advise?
Solved!

Hi, just try up this found somewhere-
You can do this to rebuild the library as it is corrupted.
Restart your device and then refresh your library. If this doesn't help then;
Connect the phone to your pc/lappy and put in 'Data transfer' mode.
To delete the library files:
- Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
Select "Show hidden files and folders"
- Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
- Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
(assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E)
Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd. Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
Now just refresh the Music Player library and the job is done.
This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.
Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.

ITunes not recognizing new PC and, therefore, doesn't recognize my IPOD

ITunes not recognizing new PC even though it says it is authorized. The result: ITunes doesn't recognize my IPOD. It does still have my old PC name attached to my account. What can I do to rectify this situation?

It could be a tiny bit of fluff in the dock that's preventing a particular wire from connecting. A magnifying glass and a decent light should let you inspect the port. If there is any rubbish lodged in the dock opening use a can of compressed air or a fine needle to ease it out taking care not to damage the connectors.

Epson Action Laser Printer not recognized by Yosemite

I upgraded to Yosemite and now my ancient Epson Action Laser 1000 series printer is not recognized. I have reset the printing system, deleted the printer, looked for 3rd party software, etc. Does anyone have a solution to my issue? Other than replacing my printer!!! Thanks.

Sorry. I guess I should have been more explicit. Perhaps if I had said, "Do a thorough search, actually read through the threads, and follow the advice of people who have solved the exact same problem you have."

You know, i have never understood this, if you are so adversed to helping people, then why do you even logon or post in a help forum at all? it has always perplexed me when people come to help forums and make a thread for help, and the help that person gets is, 'search for another thread that has the answer'. This happens enough times since people that log on to help forums like yourself, just hate helping people, and eventually, a search ends up like this.
Search 'USB printer not recognized'
Returns 20 threads, all with 1 or 2 replies that say something along the lines of, 'this is solved in another thread, search it up'.
So now everyone gets to go through 20 threads just to get nowhere. Then finally, after spending 2.5 hours searching through 20 useless threads, since nobody could post any help in them, you find the thread with a solution, and its 71 pages long and has 30 different try this, no try that, that didn't work says one person, oh, it did says another, instead of just posting the link to the wiki in each of the subsequent threads...but that is just asking too much out of anyone, after all, they are too busy looking at threads in a help forum that they know the solution to, and making posts for the poster to look for a solution, instead of actually helping...
I guess it just bugs me. If i had found the answer, i wouldn't have posted about it now would I?
peace

Anyone have a solution for the ubiquitous problem of the printer not recognizing a new HP cartridge?

I have seen other posts about the HP printers not recognizing that a new HP cartridge has been put in. At the price of the cartridges, this is a most irritating problem, and apparently a weak spot with the HP printers. Mine is not heavily used at all and this is the 2nd time it would not recognize. Thanks.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?

In 3210xi, new cartridges installed, but yellow not recognized

3210xi will not recognize new yellow cartridge. All cartridges are new HP cartridges, but yellow keeps indicating "missing or damaged." Have followed cleaning instructions. Same result.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums!
@annoyance
I understand you have all new HP cartridges installed in your Photosmart 3210xi however, the yellow is not being recognized and you're seeing an error message stating the ink cartridge is "missing or damaged".
I wanted to reach out and share my suggestion with you. After looking through troubleshooting guides, I would recommend that you try the steps entailed in this specific document.

HP photo B210a not printing black ink with a new cartridge installed

The color cartridges print when I clean the heads, etc. but the black cartridge will not print. It did fine, it ran out of ink, so, I replaced the cartridge with new ink, the same HP ink I always use. I thought it was the cartridge, do, I bought another one, and it too did not print. After several times cleaning, aligning, removing and reinserting, to no avail did it print black. What gives? What do I need to do to correct this situation. It is an HP all-in-one inkjet printer, B210a. It is only 1.5 years old and not used that much.
Thanks,
Bonnie

What can i do to get this new cartridge to work. Very frustrating

PRO8600 Not recognizing new ink cartridge

I just changed the cyan cartridge in my Pro8600 printer, as I have previously done with no problem. However, the printer is not recognizing that the new cartridge has been installed. After closing the door and allowing the machine to cycle through its initial process, the window again appears stating that the cyan ink is empty and must be replaced to continue printing. I've removed the cartridge and reinserted it several times to no avail. I've also tried a second new cartridge, again with same results. Any ideas?

Hello bryantk37127,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the ink cartridges not being recognized in the printer.
I do have a few suggestions that we can 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 this issue as well as other errors. Please click on the following link for when An 'Ink Cartridge Failure,' 'Incompatible Ink Cartridges,' or 'Ink Cartridge Problem' Error Message ....
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.

Help[: Laserjet 1300: Printing blank pages (new cartridge & drivers installed)

Hi All, printer keeps printing blank pages, just bought a new cartridge and even re-installed the drivers- can anyone perhaps advise as to a way to resolve as I am urgently needing to print?

Forgot to mention that I am not getting an error message either, except when I go through the motions of scanning the (blank) alignment page. That error is related to the fact that it is blank though.
Thanks for any assistance.

Printer D7160 - will not acknowledge new cartridge

Yellow cartridge showed low ink. Printer stopped printing. Purchased new HP cartridge and inserter. Printer rejected as 'empty" or not working. Back to the store for second cartridge - printer again did not accept. Have cleaned the copper contacts with no better results. Do I have to toss a perfectly good printer?? What can I do to correct the problem?

My printer problem is detailed above. The printer is used to print from my notebook Dell computer that uses Windows 7. The file is relayed to the printer but the printer will not print because the cartridge cannot be recognized. I have cleaned the printer copper points as suggested on your website as well a disconnected printer. Nothing seems to solve the problem. Suggestions, please.

Officejet 4620 All in one Not printing even with new cartridge

My printer has suddenly stopped printing.
There are no error messages.
My ink level is full.
It slowly started "running" out of ink as I was printing.
New cartridge.
Cleaned printer heads twice.
Ran print quality report and it acted like it was printing but didn't.
Any ideas??

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Officejet 4620. Be sure to check the vents, if they are blocked the printer will appear to be running out of ink early in the cartridge life.
If the troubleshooting steps there do not resolve the issue I sould suggest you contact HP, 1-800-HPINVENt if you are in the US or see the document here for elsewhere. They may be able to help resolve the issue even if the printer is not in warranty as described in this post.
