Dear Sir, my red ink is close to empty but the rest inks are find. Do I have to replace all ink cartridge at the same time ? Please advise me.

No, not all at the same time, but you need to have all operative. It is to say, if you don't have red and you want to print only in black or grayscale you won't be able. The HP machine has some stupid function that won't allow you. I mean, that will happen to this printers with all kind of cartridges not only with these ones.

Sorry to have been vague. you can simply buy INK-REFILLS Compatible Refill Kit for HP (Black/Cyan/Magenta/Yellow) after the original ink is used and refill these large cartridges. There is a rubber gromet that comes off the tip of the cartridge and allows for it the be refilled.

NoOnly add more red ink without removing the cartridge through the top refill hole

I did because all of them were running low, but I don't see why you can't do them one at a time it's just like you would change cartridges out one at a time like before, they have the same chip. Hope this will help.

I would highly recommend putting all of the ink cartridges in your printer upon receipt of the order. One of my cartridges didn't work but it was passed 30 days before I figured that out. If you are able to put them in your printer and they don't work well at least you can send them back. It's not bad for the money but I should have loaded them all in at once. FYI one of the computer chips on the cartridge was bad.

I called the seller and the answer that they gave me was to just wait until the printer says the cartridge is empty then remove it and replace it. You have to physically check the cartridges to see if there is enough ink.

It sounds like a bad idea to leave your ink slots empty anyway. If there is no ink flow through any of the slots for a long period of time the ink inside the ports will dry up and clog the print heads. Also, I wouldn't spend $80 to $100 for replacement ink. You can buy a brand new printer (with ink) for that price! I buy my replacement cartridges for $1.68 each and they work perfectly. Of course the printer companies don't want you to do that so they are going to tell youit's bad for your printer, and perhaps even tell you it will void your warranty.

I am still using my first cartridge, so I cannot be of any help, but can you contact the seller to inquire about your problem? I see someone else had a problem, so I will be on alert when I change to the new one. Sorry I cannot be of more help. bummer...

either remove and replace the ink cartridge the printer thinks is empty, or try just opening and shutting the unit like you are going to replace the ink cartridge. I simply open and shut the machine. there is no way that I know of to stop the printer from thinking its out of ink.

I had the same problem, I took them out and then put them back in again. Once I did that a couple of times then a question mark appears on the front screen, but the printer will print it won't acknowledge the cartridge cause it is a refurbished one, but the printer will print. Try that and see if that works for you. Hope so :)

Are you sure you replaced the yellow and not another color by mistake? Is the new cartridge empty?

I would ask a professional ink refilled. All I can say is that using the wrong ink ruined my printer.

I had the same issue. I took the ink out, shook it and unplugged the printer and replugged it. Good to go. Hope it works for you.

I'm not sure how the ink cartridge might have killed the printer, but HP does program some printers to be fussy about reinstalled cartridges that the printer had previously declared empty. There are ways to reset that recognition as well as ways to easily clean printheads that may be clogged with dry ink. Search YouTube for your HP cartridge; there are numerous brief instructional videos, some more or less helpful than others e.g.,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0tm8dNeE2A

I have not been able to find ink cartridges,... Sadly it would seem you would need to buy another

Let the cartridge sit for about 12 hours before printing if it was completely empty! :) I didn't know this either but it helped greatly!

Oh my I had the opposite problem! I was getting the ink system failure message before which made me consider a new printhead. I didn't know Amazon had them so I've ordered a new printer. Since it didn't help you maybe it wouldn't work for me. The reason for my problem-using remanufactured non OEM ink, the black cartridge was leaky. I thought it would be alright after wiping off and I did print some pgs. The problem was when I tried again about a month later..that's when I got the "ink system failure" msg and nothing I did took it away!

My experience has been that it just stops dead in the middle of a print job if ANY cartridge is "empty". This is very annoying, especially if (as is often with me) I'm only printing B/W.

Had the same problem. Be patient. Remove the cartridges and re-install the cartridges making sure to seat them fully.
