I am not sure on that one. My HP had no troubles. It did have to do a realignment that is did automatically. Works perfectly.

bought remanufactured for husband's printer, they fit "perfectly" and worked well, possibly slight maldistribution of inking at first?Bought remanufactured for my printer and bought the wrong size. But will try reman.s next replacement.

If this was the first time this has happened to you then you might want to ask for a replacement as that particular cartridge might be defective. I have never had a problem with a remanufactured cartridge.

We have an HP Photosmart 7850. It has built in software designed to detect any cartridge that is not an official HP and essentially disable the printer so it won't work. Our works reluctantly with the generic color cartridge and doesn't work at all with a generic black. It sucks but that's the way it works.

Contact the company. They replaced the one my machine did not like, no charge. The other cartridge I had ordered worked perfectly. No complaints at all. Great price, great service.

Hi. Please take the cartridges out, then please turn off printer and then wait 20 seconds. Then turn on printer and don't put in cartridges yet. Wait until the printer starts up. And when it prompts for the cartridges. Please make sure you remove the orange piece from the new cartridges, then please put them in, and make sure they click in, it might need the extra push to get them in, if a message pops up that they are not original, please just acknowledge the messages and click ok. and do 2 test prints. This should work. Please let me know. Thank you

The non-oem ink cartridges usually has an Automatic Reset Chips. Take out the cartridges that are not recognized for 2-5 seconds and place them back in. This will trick the printer to recognize the ink cartridge as new.

Yes I had the same problems. When it runs out I will spend the extra money next time and get an original replacement cartage. I just hope it die not ruin the printer

Here's what worked for me... Take the old cartridge out &gt; Turn off printer &gt; turn printer back on with no cartridge &gt; wait until it tells you cartridge is missing &gt; insert cartridge &gt; It will again tell you it's not genuine ink, but this time it will prompt you with a message telling you basically what a terrible person you are, but then ask you if you want to use the ink anyways &gt; click yes. Done. (Your first print may take a while as it adjusts for the new ink)

try running a print head clean with a new cartridge, otherwise you may need a new print head

My printer knows it is not Epson ink cartridges, but it still prints. Sorry I do not have a solution to your problem.

It depends on what is wrong with it. I know that many times my printer would tell me that I need to replace the ink even when I know there is plenty of ink. Come to find out that if I use a fake cartridge, sometimes it will reject it. So, then I have to put in a Epson cartridge and the rest of the fake ink will work fine. If you have tried cleaning the heads, then you might have to replace the ink for the color that is not printing right. You can also call Epson and they will try to help you.

I'm sorry I'm unable to help you. I returned the item for refund so never had to replace the cartridge.

Make sure you carefully read the printer screen as you replace each cartridge. It may ask the question " This is not genuine espon ink. Are you sure you want to continue to install this ink?" If you don't read the question you may assume that you should just continue to hit the next key. This is a problem that I had. Hope it helps. By the way, the ink works great!!!

I have these king of problems a few times. You need to take out the ink cart and put it back. turn off the power and restart. It will work again.

Sorry for the delay but just released from Hospital yesterday. I too am confused about why you would need to remove the cover. If you have a mechanical problem with the drive mechanism that transport the print cartridges, please do not attempt a repair. Take to HP shop for expert assistance. However if you are confused on how to change the cartridges then the other poster is correct. Just lift the cover (scanner will also rise), allow the cartridges to settle into accessible position, press on the spring clip associated with the cartridge you wish to replace, remove the old, replace with the new and continue until you have replaced all cartridges needed to return the printer to usable condition. Hope I did not get too wordy with the reply. BTW, Love my HP Photosmart.

I guess that I had a similar experience. I replaced the black cartridge several times and worked with help desk. Eventually it came down to replacing the entire print engine. At this point I took the printer to the dump. Sorry you had a similar experience.

You did not provide the printer model.Now, did you try to replace the cartridges with ORIGINAL ones? Even empty ones will do, just to test if they are recognized by the printer.(ONE cartridge will suffice for this test.)If the printer will recognize such a cartridge (even an error msg. will serve as 'Recognize'), you know what I already know: never look at this vendor and his products again...
