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.

  • 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.

  • Printer Error: Remove and check cartridge on right.

  • 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 !

    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.

  • 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.

  • Error: Remove and Check cartridge on right

    I have removed the right cartiridge and check it, but the error message will not go away?
    I have not tried putting in a differnet cartridge yet.
    Suggestions????
    It is the black and white cartridge.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Start by following the troubleshooting steps shown here.  If cleaning the cartridge and printer contacts does not resolve the issue then check the spring as shown in this page.  If the spring is dislodged (1) you will need to have the printer serviced.  If the spring is dislodged but has not damaged the flex circuitry (2) then some have reported success epoxying the spring back in position.

  • 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.
    What does it want me to do?

    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
