How to fix an hp printer: Step 1: throw it in the trash and go buy a brother, epson, cannon, anything besides a damn hp. A damn etch a sketch would be a better option than an hp printer.
HP sucks ass! They try to load you up with all kinds of spyware and advertisement B.S. AND they make their machines difficult to get into and don't answer questions so you have to pay them for support!
Epson does the same thing... Horrible piece of garbage. Don't buy.... No matter what you do it won't accept the new cartridges because it's not Epson ink. It's a terrible machine. Problems all started when I updated printer this last time.
I had unplugged the printer after I put the new cartridges in and it wasn't printing. Then following the advice on the video, I removed the cartridges and unplugged the printer again. After reinserting the cartridges, it worked great! Thanks!
Thank you. Taking the cartridge out and turning off printer and unplugging it did the trick. When I put the new cartridge in when it rebooted, it took it that time!
By the time I got to plugging directly into the wall socket I'd evaluated it in my head as having a one in a million chance - BUT you know what? - IT WORKED! Awesome! Can't thank you enough!!! Needed to print out a QR Scan code to get into work tomorrow and my trusty deskjet failed for the first time in 10 years. Even tried adding fresh cartridges... Can't thank you enough for making this most informative and helpful video!
You are awesome, dude! Thank you for putting the research and attention into this super complete and helpful video. Beats HP's virtual "assistant" (gimic, rather) any day!! Problem solved!
This solution also worked for me. I followed the virtual assistant instructions. 1. leaving the printer on 2. unplug power cord 3. wait for a full 60 seconds 4. plug power cord back in, 5. Printer should automatically turn on. If not, turn it back on. 6. Done. Cartridge error should stop blinking.
,👍 Thanks! Question::I have the hp deskjet 2600 all-in-one printer and am looking for third-party cartridges . Any you know of; name and website? TiA 😊
oh thank you so muchhh... even though the ink blink in the printer is there and it says the cartridge is empty .... my printer print perfectlyyyy and it fix the color issue ❤️😭...
Mine right out of the box brand new and it's a useless POS with the cartridges that came with it. Not even going to waste my time trying to move it around to plug it into a wall outlet.
Thanks for making that comment, because I was not sure what to clean the terminals with if I ever had to. Actually, I got it working before I got to that step, but I will know for another time, perhaps.
This printer gave me a lot of stress... I won't buy any printer that included removing of the cartridge during ink refill anymore.. This product is poorly designed...
Unfortunately, this "fix" did not work for my new HP 4155e printer when trying to replace starter cartridges with a new "Instant Ink" color cartridge that was mailed to me from HP. The black replacement works fine but the color cartridge does not. I've tried these steps, as well as many others from other videos. I'm convinced that this new color cartridge is defunct. I've also tried contacting HP about this problem and I am unable to get thru to a an actual live person. Also tried using HP Smart app to fix the problem to no avail. And last but not least, I've tried to use the HPDr app to fix the problem. I'm stuck, and don't know how to get this defunct cartridge replaced. This is NOT looking good for HP!
This is the error that’s displayed on my printer when I replaced my ink cartridges for new ones. The indicated cartridges are not communicating correctly with the printer. If this problem persists, replace the cartridges. My printer is the house envy 7800 all in one. FYI I insert my old one and printer is ready to print.
@@coriwalter7403 Nah, I think it’s a hazard of using refurbished carts on my end :( If that’s the case for you it might be worth returning them if possible! Good luck!
Thank you. unfortunately, didn't work. I encounter the problem while printing. All of a sudden a message appeared saying I don't have the right cartridge for the printer. I replaced it and did everything. Nothing works.
hp 3054 reads (black cartridge problem). Problem started after I cleared clogged print head with vacuum cleaner. Worked ok for couple copies., then the problem. Tried all the steps in your video with no success. Your guidance appreciated. Thank you.
Is there any part inside the printer that might be glogged other than the cartridges ? The message I get says ink cartridge failure but they do have ink. Helpppp?
@@marywoods6283 ... If your printer is older, used sparingly or used extensively there is big possibility that the Printer Head contact pins are not working. That part, called CPCA needs to be changed .... It is a simple open and change operation.
@@VermaRajinder thank you I've tried everything I dipped the end of the cartridges and there is ink. Where is this your talking about? Can you tell me how please. I print on default because I don't have internet. But thank you for at least acknowledging me.
@@marywoods6283 ... You appear to be a casual user of your printer ..... Please tell which model of printer to have and let me find a DIY solution for you before you have to visit the Service Centre.
I tried all of it and none of it works for me 😭 my printer is probably 2 years old? And I rarely use it too. I bought a new ink for it and then there it stopped working. At first I had a hard time printing like when I was trying to print a document it only prints a few words and it's done and I tried it so many times and it's still the same. And I tried most of the tutorials I saw even cleaning the cartridge and still didn't do anything. And now I'm trying again and it keeps saying the printer is blocked and also can't recognise the ink. 😭
When I unplug the printer, and I plug it back in, the 1st message I get is "unplugging your printer before shutting it off can damage your printer.". But, when I press the on/off button, it says the same thing. AND, when I get the missing print head or out of ink message, and I try to reseat the cartridges, when I open the door to the cartridges, they don't move into a position where I can get to them. So, I have no choice but to unplug it and plug it back in. It's so frustrating. Your tips worked though. I unplugged the printer, and waited. Plugged it back in. Then it wanted to re-calibrate. So, I let it. Then, it let me print.
OMG - I had the wrong the Ink Cartridge! Thank You very much! Amazon sent me the wrong @#$%^&*!!! cartridge, I ordered HP 61 and they sent me HP 62. Thank You for making me check!!!
Holy crap! I'm guessing you solved the problem. I just couldn't get past the intro to find out. It's about as much fun as listening to finger nails screeching across a chalk board.
thank you. I loathe this HP printer, wifi, having to connect to HP. Has errors, has ink errors. angering. costs. The printer did not reset. I need it. It just wont work.
The printer I bought came with a free ink subscription. After changing the black ink I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working. Then watched this video and checked the ink they sent me and it wasn’t even the same one. I just assumed it was since hp sent it 😂😂
@@TheFed39 good luck! I had to go to the library to print… we get 70 free print a week.. that’s way more generous than he printers apparently … hope they can help you troubleshoot it!!! 👍🏼
I replaced my ink cartridge with a generic brand and now I'm getting a Non-Hp chip detected error I have an Hp officejet pro 6968 anyone know how tp fix this problem
I will never buy another hp product again.

@@kathyaudus4492 I agree, wouldn't trust anything except brother or cannon
I am using Brother duplex laser printer and very satisfied with it as i can refill the cartridge, hate HP as they are just scam to loot thr people
*You saved my day.* Removing the cartridge, powering off, waiting for 30 secs, powering on and resetting the cartridge worked. Thanks a lot.
Nice for you, futile for me. Did this several times with no change. Must be the model of HP printer.
Why are you screaming?
This how you like it.
Really my heads sore stop screaming
😹😹
Why are you are judgy

Heck yeah you're comment helped me!!
I was wearing headphones when I started this video. The volume was halfway. I no longer have hearing.
Thank you. Taking the cartridge out and turning off printer and unplugging it did the trick. When I put the new cartridge in when it rebooted, it took it that time!
Nothing worked for me. I’m very upset.
Same
samee
it has to be the same brand
It is the same cartridge. I've just refilled it and suddenly it doesn't work.
Thank you for making this video. I appreciate you taking the time. Sadly, nothing worked. Just wish I had purchased a warranty . . .
This delivery is impeccable. I do hope this is the creator's actual speaking voice. Very useful too! Thankyou.
Thanks first video that actually worked. Tip2 did it for me. 1000 times better than actual hp support forums!!
Hint #5 did it for me, simply had to wipe clean the contacts. Thanks for posting this!
Thanks so much! You helped me restore my printer to recognize the cartridges by step 2. Regards from South Africa

Excellent! - Hey, when you have the right solution you can shout a loud as you want!! THANK YOU!!
i refilled a cartridge and it wouldnt work so i bought a new one and it still doesnt work. im about to light it on fire.
😂funny comment
I don't care that you're yelling 😅 this fixed my printer after trying so many things - solved my issue with Onn brand carts from Walmert
Very, very helpful, thank you. Keep up the good work.

I did all the 5 steps, and didn’t work. I deleted the app on my phone/computer and I plugged in the usb and it works!! 🎉🎉
Thanks a lot! The power direct connection solved it!
I came here from some advice but now the comments have me rolling on the floor. 😂 After I collected myself the advice worked for me!!!!!

oh thank you so muchhh... even though the ink blink in the printer is there and it says the cartridge is empty .... my printer print perfectlyyyy and it fix the color issue ❤️😭...
Unplugging with the cartridge out worked. Thank you.
I cannot get why a surge protector would cause the printer to not recognize the cartridge.
Mine right out of the box brand new and it's a useless POS with the cartridges that came with it. Not even going to waste my time trying to move it around to plug it into a wall outlet.
Thank you so much!! The 2nd option fixed it :)
Can We fill both the cartridges with black ink. Will it work. Please reply.
Thank you!! #2 step worked for me
It’s like Saul Goodman doing a solicitors tv advertisement
Thank You!! #2 did it for me
Scratch that. printed one document then the problem was back :(
Actually worked. Tip2. Thanks a lot!!!
How do you fix it when it says toner?
Are you hollering?
😂
well, i just use isopropyl 99,8% with my glasses cloath and cleaned the terminals. That worked!
Thanks for making that comment, because I was not sure what to clean the terminals with if I ever had to. Actually, I got it working before I got to that step, but I will know for another time, perhaps.

i have the same problem , did u find something or the only solution is buying new cartilage?
I have a 2632. I should have bought 304 cartridges and bought 301's how do I trick it as, now opened i can't return them.

Clean the cartridge ..... Unplug the printer from the Wall Socket and never use the Power Extension Cord or Surge Protector.

Nothing work, HP lock your cartridge after you run out of chipset count. They need you put money to buy a new once.
Where’s the video showing how to clean the printer heads?
You sound like the guy from the radio show handle on the law
thanks, Saul Goodman
Nothing worked. But thank you for the video.
Didn't work for me either
