Using non OEM Print Cartridges.

I have just fitted non oem ink cartridges in my HP 6520 and they will only display in the ink levels on the printer front panel a question mark and through the printer software on the PC i get an exclamation mark,can this be bypassed or do i have to "guess"? "Genuine"HP Cartridges are so expensive,can anybody help?

You would need to take the issue up with the supplier of the third party cartridges.  HP has no way to tell the ink levels if they have not been properly programmed into the ink supplies or if the cartridge has been marked as previously used.

  • HP6700 officejet, Can you use non-oem ink cartridges​???

    Hi,  I recently got a new printer last year and I recently purchased some non HP ink cartridges.  I changed the color cartridges, the printer recognized the cartridges and went through the install process.  Everything looked good.  When I go to print, I get an error saying there is non-oem ink cartridges installed.  I click on the info button and it tells me that non-oem ink will void the warranty.  I am fine with that, I just want to be able to print.  Is there any way to get past this or can on only use HP ink in a 6700 officejet printer???
    Thanks

    Hi DocHog,
    Are you unable to print because of an error message the pops up? Try the solution offered by Fratz on this thread. pop-up about Genuine HP Vivera cartridges installed.
    If the issue persists let me know. I will be happy to help.

  • I want "non HP printer cartridge" pop ups to go away on my Mac Mini computer. Please help

    When my son is streaming Netflix, "non HP Printer cartridge" pop ups cover the screen like a virus has taken over. 
    No matter if I close them out or hit OK, they just sit there and I have to drag them over to the right lower corner and they will not be trashed.  I have an HP  Photosmart 6520 that is connected wirelessly. HP phone tech support told me that because it is a non HP cartridge (refill) , that happens to work better and longer than the original HP cartridges, they cannot help me get the pop ups to go away.  Funny thing is that the printer has always worked well with these cartridges, and these pop ups just started appearing after I upgraded my Mac to the latest update.  HP tech support told me to turn the wireless "Off" on the printer and said maybe that would help.  Solutions???     Joseph

    Hello heyjophi,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with a "non HP Printer cartridge" pop up on the screen.
    This pop up will more than likely keep happening as long as you are using cartridges that are refilled.  The cartridge has a chip that lets the printer know how long it has been in the printer and it causes a popup on the computer screen. The only other way to get rid of this, other than using Genuine HP ink cartridges, is to uninstall the software from the Mac.
    I do apologize for the inconvenience on this matter.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Using non-HP ink cartridges

    I have a Photosmart C6180 that uses HP 02 cartridges - black and five colors.  My local Walgreen's has a cartridge refill program.  I have always used HP cartridges, but what would I give up if I went the non-HP route?  Is the ink status gauge about it?

    I have been used replacement cartriges from Ebay on my new Photosmart B109n successfully. Removing the chips and transferring them to the Chip-extender is fiddly, and you need to be careful that the Chip-extender is properly seated and hooked into the printer carriage locating aperture -  my black cartridge was rejected first time because it must have slipped slightly when the cartridge was locked down, I can see that this must be carefully checked each time one replaces a cartridge otherwise one could damage the chip. Removing the chip with a craft knife is best done starting from the top right (with the gold pads towards you) because you are less likely to damage the printed circuit traces there. Usually the spare adhesive tape will not be required because the existing tape should remain on the chip if you are careful. I assume that eventually the printer will reject the chips after the warranty has expired - 2 years from the date of OEM cartridge manufacture (27/09/2011), according to the Printer Hardware Information page. I suppose then I shall have to buy some cheaper non-XL HP cartridges to get some more chips, unless they become available from another source. Or maybe I could try the PC date reset back a few years then re-set to current date method?

  • "Some postscript settings will be ignored... using non-PostScript printer"  HELP!

    Hi,
    I recently installed Sigma Photo Pro on my Mac G5 (Power PC), and now when I try to print to my Epson Sylus 2200 from PS (version 8.0), I get the evil message in the heading above, and the colors look terrible. I've reinstalled drivers, deleted programs and tweaked settings to no avail. Any thoughts?
    many thanks,
    laura

    I'm surprised this is the first time you've seen this message.  I get it all of the time when I'm printing .tiff's using a desktop non-postscipt printer.  I know that Epson is non-postscript, so that message should come up all of the time.  There are work arounds like installing a third party RIP, but you shouldn't have to.  If the color does not look good, you might have to revert back to where you were when the prints did look good.  Something has changed.

  • Using non-OEM chargers

    What is the deal with chargers. Is Nokia purposely detecting that one is not using their OEM charger and making the phone charge slow?
    I just got a Nokia Lumia 635 and when I plug it into the charger I have used with ALL my phones and my tablet (a surge protector with USB connectors specifically for charging) I get a slow charging message. If that is the case that is crap. 5V is 5V and as long as the charger provides the current (the OEM charger is 750ma and I have it on a 1A charger) needed there should be no issue.
    Thanks

    You have it the wrong way around. Unless a charger specifically identifies itself as a fast charger the phone will assume it's a slow charging device. Have the exact same 'issue' with the Dell venue Pro which will not charge from my 13.000 mAh ANker batterypack/charger which has a 2A port but it will charge fine from the 750mA wall charger I have laying around.

  • Non-HP printer cartridges installed

    I keep getting the message that "Non-HP cartridges are installed"
    I am fully aware of this and do not need to keep getting notified evertime I print something. I know that this is just HP trying to get us to use their cartridges because they are so much more expensive and that they will continue to bother me until I submit .. .so is there a way to just turn this message off.
    How do I turn this off?

    Sorry that you are having a problem with the "non-HP cartridge" error message. 
    There is no way to get rid of this error notification. It will only go away when a geniune HP cartridge is placed inside the printer.

  • Air Print from eBay app using non AirPrint printer DYMO Labelwriter 450

    hi all!
    i use the eBay app in my iPhone a lot. have a DYMO Labelwriter 450 installed in my macbook pro.
    is there any way i can use AirPrint from my iPhone to the DYMO ?
    if i use services like Printopia will i need to do any page setups?
    how do you guys out there do this?
    please advise!
    thanks

    Actually several. Your printer manufacturer may very well have one, but several third party apps are available. I have had pretty good results with Printer Pro. As far as printing to a device that is NOT on your network, no. How would it connect?

  • Using re-manufactured printer cartridges

    My new HP Officejet Pro 8620 will not operate with re-manufactured cartridges.  When I purchased the printer, I was told that it would operate with re-manufactured cartridges.  What is wrong?
    Thank you.
    WFE

    Hi,
    Please check the shop where you bought the printer and ask them where you can find the re-manufactured ink cartridges that work.
    Regards.

  • Non-oem ink cartridges on an Epson R800/R1800?

    I've spent the last 2 nights looking for an alternative to Epson replacement cartridges but finally conceded and bought $130 worth of genuine cartridges. Has anyone found a comparable solution that offers some savings for the R1800?

    Have a look at Inkrepublic

    they are some kind of alternative.
    Hope that helps

  • Non OEM Cartridges in Dell 3100cn

    Windows Test Print - sB's printer.pdfIn reading several posts to this forum it is apparent that the non Dell toner cartridges.  I could kick myself because I've been having problems.  It seems that the toner is leaking.
    I'm going to attach a copy of a test page - you might be able to see that one inch all the way down the page there are cyan smudges of toner.  I followed the steps in another post to clean the ROS (Raster Optical Scanner) and that helped some.
    Do you think if I yanked all of the non-Dell cartridges and replaced them with Dell cartridges and the printer cleaned out good that the cyan smudges would go away.
    I'm toast here at work for making the decision to use non-OEM cartridges.  Any assistance or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

    jchpnc,
    Your  printer should be fine with Dell Cartridges. I did the same thing with my printer and had the same problem. I use Dell Cartridges now and have had no problems.

  • Counterfeit printer cartridge error

    I own a HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus and I used a compatible non-HP printer cartridge.  Ever since doing so, I've been getting this error message on the display (counterfeit ink cartridge).  I've since uninstalled and reinstalled the software as well as replaced the cartridge with an HP brand cartridge and I'm still getting the message.  Is this a quick fix or do I need to take it somewhere for service?
    This question was solved.

    No problem.  Glad it's working now.

  • Black Print Cartridge Only Printing

    I program my computer for the C7180 to print using the black print cartridge only, but it still uses ink from the color cartridges while printing in grayscale.  How do I get the printer to use only the black print cartridge?

    I don't have this kind of printer. However, intuitively, the "brute force technique" should work as in the case of my DeskJet F2480: please remove (if possible) the color cartridge from the printer and then try printing.
    Additional advice: please carefully check all the available settings of the program from which you are printing. I can guess that there can be some commonly used settings you see just having pressed "Print", and also some "Advanced" ones, etc...

  • Can I use Replacemen​t 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.
