Printer says to remove and check cartridge

I have a 2110xi all in one printer...Cant this message off of machine...I have removed cartridges but it still does same thing

Give this a try:
With the power on, remove the cartridges. Take care not to spill ink where you set them down temporarily. Leave the access door open and remove the power cord from the printer, again while the power is still on. Wait at least 30 seconds, while waiting see if you can gently sop up some of the ink from the stalls with something like a swab. Then reconnect the power cord to the printer and turn it on. Install each cartridge one at a time, closing the cover between each one and waiting for recognition of each by the printer.
It is possible that the black cartridge could have leaked until empty, so it may need replaced. It is also possible that the ink that leaked could be interfering with the electrical contacts which is why I suggested cleaning that area. Hope that helps.

My 2210 all in one printer keeps giving the message "Remove and check cartridge"

My 2210 all in one printer keeps giving the message "Remove and check cartridge." Although I go through procedures outlined in manual, message keeps reappearing. Suggestions?

Hello again!
Still having problems but here's more info: Checked "Resume" but Message next to the job says ERROR but that 'Pinter is ready'.
However, on the PRINT & FAX page in System Preferences it has 'Idle' next to the psc1317 (default) printer.The computer scans the document but wil not print it. With printer off I disconnected the power cable and the USB from the computer then re-connected after 1 minute. When I turned the printer back on it printed the test sheet but not the document. I have also unistalled then reinstalled the hp1317 Snow Leopard software and driver and computer says that all software is up to date. Apart from a dodgy connection I have no idea where to go from here!

Hp2175xi printer Remove and check cartridge. error message displayed on printer.

Remove and check cartridge error message displayed on printer. I have removed and inspected cartridges and no problems were evident. Shut down printer and restarted, unplugged and restarted same error displayed. Please help with any suggestions or solutions.
Thanks John

Hi
If the cartridge isn't empty and you've tried the usual troubleshooting (which includes cleaning the contacts on the cartridge and in the printer) then it's probably best to contact Phone Support for a possible replacement.
You can check if the cartridge is still within warranty by checking the warranty ends date here

Remove and check cartridge on right error message on 7410 all in one

I recently changed the black ink cartridge in my 7410 all in one printer. After changing cartridge it gave me an error message of " Remove and check cartridge on right". I have tried removing and reinstalling , cleaning connection points with clean damp cloth (water) and still cannot get error message to go away.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I know this is an older thread but being it is a top Google result associated with the "Remove and check cartridge on right" error it justifies adding a helpful suggestion for other. Our findings have been HP Printers are very biased against refilled \ recycled cartridges. I own a total of (5)x HP 7310 and HP 7410 printers in my IT Consulting office. These are feature rich MFP’s with an abundant supply of ink available at generously economical prices. On the face of it, it sounds like a good reason to keep a bevy of last gen printers around. EXCEPT the printers work great with the $30-$50 brand new HP brand 96 cartridges from Office Depot or Staples. Unfortunately if you try and buy some recycled cartridges off ebay the Printers detect the recycled\refilled cartridges as a previously depleted HP cartridge that may not be genuine and the units suddenly turn on you. Miraculously the "Remove and check cartridge on right" only manifests itself with non-HP brand cartridges or cartridges that have been refilled. (We have even tried to re-fill out own refreshly depleted cartridges with like results.) Think of it as an HP service reminder conveying you forgot to pay HP their $30-$50 profit on your ink this go round. Remember you need HP Branded ink cartridges (HP = Homogeneously Proprietary). It’s like an intention flaw written into the firmware. Best guess (purely on conjecture) is there is a check in the firmware/drivers for if the cartridges has been previously installed, previously depleted, max install count, and expiration date validation. If it encounters a condition it doesn’t like you get this nondescript error.
[advertisement snipped]
The above post is filled with conjecture and speculation, but is not based on fact. The Officejet7410 is not programmed to reject refilled/reman cartridges. It will check cartridges electrically for various things and will reject cartridges that fail. Typical failures would include a cracked printhead (caused by rough treatment - dropping the cartridge even a few inches for example), or open electrical connections caused by debris on the cartridge contacts. Cleaning the cartridge contacts as shown in the document here may resolve the issue in case of poor electrical contacts.
A cartridge that has been previously used in a different printer will likely be marked as empty, but the printer will happily print with a cartridge detected as empty.
The reality is that the quality of refill and reman cartridges are very variable, but generally poor. The study here has a study conducted by a testing facility, here is another study.
My personal experience has been similar. I donated an HP all-in-one to my son's high school years ago. Sometime later I got a call from the teacher complaining that it was not printing properly. I went and took a look and found they had put in a renam color cartridge that was not printing one of the colors*. They tried another cartridge, which also had a problem and then finally the third cartridge worked. I asked why they used renam cartridges and he said they bought these because they were cheaper. I asked if they were 1/3 the cost....
*The color missing had nothing to do with the printer - blotting the bad cartridge on a damp tissue gave only two of the three colors that would normally be present.

Re: Remove and check cartridge on right.

I own an Officejet 7310 All in One. I have received an error that reads "Remove and check cartridge on right". After removing and inspecting the nearly full black cartridge, I could not identify any abnormalities. After reinsertion, the error returns. Perhaps I don't understand what is meant by "check". Please help.

Error message: "Remove and check cartridge"--what should I do? (officejet 6110xi all-in-one)

I got a printer (as above) in a yard sale. When I first turned it on, it had an error message: "Remove and check cartridge". I pulled out and looked at the cartridge, nothing seemed wrong (except perhaps the mildly inexplicable twist tie). Then I tried cleaning the contacts, did a hard restart, and looked for damage to the flex (there was none I could see), as suggested here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/Need-help/m-p/71/highlight/true#M8
Still no love.

Error message: "remove and check cartridge on right." photosmart 2610

I installed two brand new HP cartridges (color and black) in my Photosmart 2610 all-in-one about 1 month ago and they were working fine but now I get an error message asking me to "remove and check cartridge on right." When I check the cartridge (black), it looks fine but the error message won't go away and the printer won't print. Suggestions?

I had the same problem, I have tried resetting with #6 or #3, cleaning.
What worked for me:
1 - While printer is on, go to the "Mfg Commands"
(on my printer I had to press "*" and "#", others would need to press both left and right arrows, etc.)
2 - You will get the following message "Enter special key combo", then enter "123".
3 - Press the right arrow until you find "Special Reports", click OK
4 - Press the right arrow until you find "Print Cartridges", click OK
What was my surprise when at number 3, it started printing !
And then, everything came back to normal !
Super cool !
Hope this works for you !

"Remove and check cartridge" error message

My Dell Latitude died. It was hooked up to my hp psc 2110 all in one printer.
After completing the set-up basics on new laptop, I downloaded the drivers for the printer successfully. A test was successful.
Next day, I tried to print. The printer told my laptop that the ink was low. Installed new cartridge; hit enter to align. It went all the way through alignment, but would not print. Instead it posted the scrolling message “Remove and check cartridge”.
I removed and reinserted the cartridge and nothing changed. Same message.
Expensively (I really needed to print), I inserted a new cartridge. The printer started to align the cartridge. At the second bar it froze. I watched the two unchanging bars for twenty minutes.
Since then (in this order) I have:
Turned off the printer for ten minutes and turned it back on. It started scrolling (?) “Remove and check
          cartridge”
Uninstalled then downloaded the drivers and tried all again.
Left everything off for forty-eight hours.
The troubleshooter from the computer couldn’t identify the problem, but said the toner was fine.
I could not print a self-test report because no matter what button I push nothing changes.
Opening and closing the top section (in order to replace cartridge) makes the cartridge move, but does
               nothing to the message.

Looked at and tried all suggestions on HP forums.
The three little green lights (best, normal, fast) flash together.
It still only scrolls “Remove and check cartridge”.
I have not hit it.       I am out of ideas.           I cannot afford a new printer.
PLEASE HELP.   (Please keep it clear and simple.)

My HP2575 give's "Ink Cartridge Problem - Remove and check cartridge on right"-error

Hello,
I have a HP photosmart 2575 all-in-one. For just a couple of month's I use my black 339 cartridge and suddenly it give the error "Ink Cartridge Problem - Remove and check cartridge on right", with means the black cartridge. I always use original HP cartridges and have never filled them by myself or other people. Because the expire date is just a couple of weeks late, HP won't support me. For now I put a new cartridge in the printer, with works fine. How can I solve this problem with my cartridge? It has enough ink for many prints to make, so I don't like to throw that away. I hope you can help me with tis matter.
Thanks a lot.

Remove and check cartridge on right

I own HP Officejet 7310 all-in-one. Yesterday the above message appreared when I turned on the printer and tried to print . I took out the cartridge and then reinstalled it. The message did not go away. i turned the printer off and on again; message remained. I then put in a new cartridge. Same message. I have no idea what to do.

Having same problem. Finding that in other web sites HP has programmed the system to remember only 2 ink cartridges. apparently the only way to solve this after cleaning does not work is to disassemble and remove the battery, wait a while, then replace battery and reassemble the printer.
There is a lot of misinformation in "other web sites". Neither the Officejet 7410 or the Photosmart 2610 series printers have a battery in the printer. The memory stores information about the most recent cartridges, but this information is only used to determine ink levels and the need for alignment, it has nothing to do with the "remove and check" message.
Try cleaning the cartridge contacts as shown here
(for a different cartridge, but similar). If that does not help check
the spring and make sure it has not become dislodged and damaged the
flex as shown here. If the flex is damaged your printer will require service.

My hp psc 2210 gives message remove and check cartridge, i did, there is nothing that looks wrong,

I look inside around wehre the cartriges go and didn't see any loose springs etc. If i remove the left cartridge, it still gives the same message, if i remove the right catridge, it tells me to insert the right cartridge.
The only function that I am able to do is scan using the comptuer. (not able to copy or fax, or print)
When this message first occured, the printer made a clunking noise, That noise, does not always repeat when attaching the power cord, but the message always is present.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

Remove the right cartridge and clean the contacts on the cartrdige and printer as shown in this page. If that does not correct the issue you will need a new cartridge, check the warranty for your current cartridge as shown here.
