My printer did not come with the set up ink cartridges will not set up without them (HP) doesn't make them is this printer trashed?

it depends how old your printer is. The new printers come with the more common cartridges that are interchangeable. Inside the cartridge well, there should be several different cartridge numbers that are compatible with your printer. Good luck

There definately is something not right with the ink system. I have owned this printer for over two years. First of all it is barely alive, never when new printed from bottom tray. Long Story short I ordered ink through amazon. I made the merchant rfeplace the ink for it evaporated in my machine in lil over a month. I am in the market for a new one!!

Well it could be a few things. First, Did you run a print alinement or select clean printer heads . Or you may have just ordered the wrong cartridges

Usually not. New printers come with a starter cartridge (quite a bit less yield than a regular one) but refurbished don't.

Your Cannon printer will not print if any of the ink cartridges are empty. I know it does not make sense but it was just built that way. I think they make more money on the ink than they do on the printer.

I don't recall if I had any issues like that or not. I'm an IT guy/computer nerd anyway so if I did, I fixed it immediately. With that said, I would recommend turning your printer off and then back on. Even try some different things like putting old cartridges in when printer is on and then turn it off, pull cartridges out and replace the new cartridges just before turning the printer back on. Make sure that any tape that may have been on the bottom of the cartridges is also removed. You'd be surprised how many people forget that. One thing to look at also, if the problem persists, is to check the settings on the actual printer and look at the ink level. If the ink level is showing that everything is full, as it should be, then the printer is at least detecting things that far. Hope this little bit will help, if not feel free to post back. If you end up having to post back, let us k ow what you be tried, and the specific issue you're having. This way I, or someone else, can give more accurate advice to further troubleshoot the issue. :)

I was not happy with the re-manufactured black ink cartridge. The on-line status tells me that my ink is out. I was able to monkey with it and it does print, but I could not tell you what I did or how I did it. I've already ordered my official HP black ink for when this does finally quit working. Sorry, I realize this is not helping.

My issue wasn't with the printhead - although I found out that my problem with installing the ink cartridges was resolved when I reinstalled the print head. Apparently I had not pressed hard enough on it so it was not level and precluded the cartridges from installing properly.That said, I have no idea about your issue and would suggest you start a new discussion so that your specific problem gets attention. I think it will be lost in my ink cartridge question and you're more likely to get some advice from a separate discussion. GOOD LUCK! Nan

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.

Thanks. Printer arrived and I'm all set up; had an extra USB on hand.Seems like some printers don't include the ink now. Like everything, you're charged the same, if not more, and get less in the box.

It sounds to me like you need to contact HP support. I'm assuming you put in a genuine HP cartridge. You didn't say what kind of cartridge.

I haven't set up the printer yet. But I have not seen anything that suggests I need a specific type of printer. I will update if I find out something different.

Sorry! It's just a cheap awful printer. It will not work more than it will. Abandon it and chop it up as HP doesn't make good printers anymore.

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...

Yes but the printer reported empty cartridge. I'll try again .. no time at present.

Cartridges dry up if not repeatedly used. This is problem with HP printers. You probably need new ink cartridges or you can try removing them and cleaning with Q-tip of tissue with small amount of warm water. Let them dry a few minutes and restart Printer. If it doesn't work get new cartridges. Sorry about the bad news. I have a HP printer also.
