Printer says "Incompatible Print Cartridge"

I have a HP Photosmart D110 series.. I bought it yesterday and when I first started it, it worked fine until I went and registered it.. Now the printer says Incompatible Print Cartridges and refer to status screen on my computer for details. So I logged in and the computer says this "Cartridge(s) are not intended for use in this printer as it is currently configured.
See printer front panel for information on resolving this condition."
SO my question is what do I do since they are both referring back to each other????
Thanks

If you haven't already - call or chat with support. Sounds like the wrong cartridge might have gotten in the box or you might be using the printer in a location HP didn't expect it to go (different country). Possible have your computer set to another country. Supoprt should be able to help you sort it out.

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.

HT4356 why does the printer says missing ink cartridges when i put the ink in the right place?

could anyone help？

That's something you really should take up with the technical support resources of the manufacturer of the printer. There's no way anyone here could guess without details, and it's definitely not an iPad issue.
Regards.

Reader 9.3.3 Removing default printer - says no printer installed

I have over 50 users with Adobe Reader 9.3.3 installed. Every morning someone calls and says Adobe Reader reported that there are no printers installed on their system. When I check their PC I find that the default printer setting has been removed and there is no default printer set. Once reset they have no problems with the printers or their other applications. This only happens when trying to print a PDF.
Why is Adobe Reader removing the default printer setting?

The driver has NOT been removed. Just the default setting.
In very PLAIN English the default printer check mark is GONE.

My HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series wont print, says its printing on the screen, but does nothing.

it has nothing to do with the connection, because even if i try to print a test page from the printer itself (not using my laptop) it still wont print. it says "printing" on the screen, but does nothing. and the green light on the power button blinks the whole time... please please help, its super frustrating, ive un-installed, re-installed, plugged it in, un plugged it, plugged the usb cord in before i realized it wasnt a connection problem, taken the ink out.. i dont know what else to do... again, its not a connection problem.. i tried to go into the settings on the printer itself and clicked printer status or something liek that and it attempted to print out a report, but nothing prints... again, the screen says "printing . . . " but nothing happens and it will continue to say "printing . . . " w/ the moving dots for hours... what could this be?? ive searched online and cant find anything that sounds liek this.. seems like everyone has connection probelms... but i need help!

This sounds like it may be a firmware problem. The first thing to do is check to see if there are any available firmware update. I'll include a link to those instructions below. Next, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. Plugging the printer into a surge protector, power strip, or power backup can cause it to become under powered resulting in strange problems like this one. If the firmware is up to date and plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet doesn't help, follow the steps in the document below. If that doesn't help, you will need to replace the printer. Hope this helps.

C4580 and incompatible print cartridge(s)

I bought a C4580 Photosmart when I lived in the USA last year. I'm now back in UK and need to get new ink cartridges. On the HP UK site I get the HP 350XL cartridge as recommended for the C4580. BUT on loading it the printer says Incompatible Print Cartridge(s). The old one was an HP74. I've tried the "clean the contacts crap" too. You can't buy HP74 in the UK and the US site won't ship to the UK. If its the case I can't use a UK HP cartridge that's completely unacceptable, otherwise make it possible to ship the others from the US.

Just call HP Tech Support in the UK and they will change the regionalization of the printer so that it'll accept HP 350 cartridges.

How to resolve the "Incompatible Print Cartridge" Message

Hello everyone
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.

If the steps don't resolve your issue make sure to try a different cartridges as this helps isolate the issue to the printer or the cartridge.

C4380 Incompatible print cartridge

I have valid cartridges in my printer - genuine HP 350 XL and 351XL. I use an iMac. I am up to date with the drivers. In the middle of printing I got the message "Incompatible print cartridge(s)." Does anyone have any ideas other than to replace the cartridges?

You will need to Contact HP to request a "Regionalization Reset". There should not be any charge for this, it is covered as part of the cartridge warranty. You will need to have access to your computer and printer while on the line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once the reset is complete cartridges from the original region will no longer work. HP's web page on the subject is here.

Incompatible print cartridge

HP Photosmart C4780. I have installed 3 separtate HP 60 Black new cartridges & get message "incompatible print cartridge" every time. Tri color cartridge OK. I have connected/disconnected device several times, cleaned print head several times, re-loaded printer soft ware several times. Store no help but willing to give me more ink cartridges or sell me new printer. Could not find solution on HP forum. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi bbguns,
I know you mentioned cleaning the printheads, was that using the software utility? If it was, the only step left to try is to manually clean it with q-tips as shown here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01675471&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=ca&dlc=en&lc...

Re: the printer says remove and check color cartridge.

How do I fix this problem ... the printer says remove and check color cartridge. I have done this many times. No change it still says the same thing.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Is the cartridge an HP or a third party?

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.

"Incompatible print cartridge" error from All-in-one Photosmart Premium C309g-m

I just bought a new Photo Black cartridge for my printer, and I'm getting this message on my computer when printing:
"The following print cartridge(s) is/are not intended for use in this printer as it is currently configured.
Photo black"
I already tried reseating and cleaning the cartridge with no change.
Can anybody tell me what this means or offer suggestions on next steps? I really don't want to have to buy another cartridge.
Thanks,
-- Chris

Hi Comptronic; thanks for your suggestion.
I checked my cartridge--it's an HP Photo Black 564, which matches what the site you suggested says. The other 4 cartridges are also 564s, and it's only this one that reports the problem, so I think it's the right one.
When this error occurs, does this mean the printer isn't using the cartridge, or does it still use it anyway? The printouts look about the same despite the error, so I don't know if it's still using the cartridge or compensating with the other 4 cartridges.
Thanks,
--Chris
