So ScottGem you say to use HP only. Do you know how many ink cartridges there are, as with me it just for home use and I do not do a lot of printing.

First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. Especially when that thread is 4 years old. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

I don't understand your question. Depending on the printer model it can use anywhere from 2 to 6 cartridges.

I have to ask this question of you, just to make sure this is not an issue. Are you using a factory new ink cartridge?

Please consider the following: If you are using a refilled or third party cartridge that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.

They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead.

If you are using factory new cartridges, then please call the manufacturers Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges
