FAQs

How do I force my HP printer to print with low ink? ›

When the low ink warning appears, press and hold the STOP/RESET or RESUME button on the printer for 10 seconds. This button will flash with an orange light when the warning pops up, so it will be relatively easy to find. If you get a warning on your computer or LCD screen, just press or click OK to carry on printing.

What can I do? This is typically caused by an incorrect selection made during the LCD prompting after a cartridge is replaced or the lock release lever did not snap securely over the ink cartridge when installing.

A used toner cartridge will have the reset lever. But because it has been used in another printer already, its reset lever will not be in the right position to activate the printer to reset the toner level. Please use a new, unused replacement toner cartridge.

The quick answer is: Yes, you can (if you own a printer model that allows it) — but you shouldn't keep printing with an empty cartridge for too long. Why? Because running on an empty cartridge for too long can cause your printhead to overheat resulting in irreversible printer damage.

Resetting HP Ink Cartridges. There is no reset button on an ink cartridge by HP either. However, the process of its resetting is similar to an entertaining game, and if done correctly, you'll be back to printing in only a few minutes. Remove your cartridge from the printer and refill it with ink if needed.

From the Printer menu, click on the Printer Settings. You will find an option to disable the HP cartridge protection. Select the option “Disable.” And click on Apply and Save.

If your PC or the LCD screen on your printer is telling you that your ink cartridges are full but no ink is passing through to the paper, then it's most likely that you are dealing with a clogged printhead. Blurry documents and images that appear faded are also signs that it's time to remove the excess ink.

Your printer may not recognize the new ink cartridge, or the ink counter may read it as empty. Many printers have a cartridge reset feature that forces the machine to recognize the cartridge as new.

How do I remove toner error? ›

Verify the toner cartridge is installed correctly.

If you install a new toner cartridge but the "Toner Low", "Replace Toner" or "Toner Ended" error indication remains, the toner cartridge may not be installed correctly. Reinstall the toner cartridge, referring to the instructions on how to replace the toner cartridge.

A typical toner cartridge will produce anywhere between 2,500 and 4,000 pages, based on a coverage of 5% (roughly third of a page of double-spaced text).

When color ink is expended and black ink still remains, you can continue printing for a short time using only black ink. However, you should replace the expended ink cartridge(s) as soon as possible.

Reuse your ink cartridges: You can refill a cartridge up to four times. But there are a few things to keep in mind if you aren't buying original equipment manufacturer (OEM) cartridges: Some printer manufacturers, such as Epson and Lexmark, will void your printer warranty if you use non-OEM ink in their cartridges.

The chips are a must, without them, the printer will not recognize the installed toner cartridge.

NOTE 1: As an option you may also cancel enrollment via the HP Printer Assistant feature on your computer (i.e. select 'Start' – 'Devices and Printers' from Windows), go to 'Account Settings' and select 'Cancel my HP Instant Ink Subscription'. Enter e-mail and password when prompted.

There are chips inside the original cartridges to record how many pages were printed and they cannot be reset. As a result the printer reads the chips and tells you that the cartridges are empty, even though they are not. This is why you are getting the "ink low" message even though the ink tank is at full capacity.

If your PC or the LCD screen on your printer is telling you that your ink cartridges are full but no ink is passing through to the paper, then it's most likely that you are dealing with a clogged printhead. If your printer starts throwing streaks, missing colors, white lines, fades, it is most likely clogged.

Alcohol that is 90% pure also works well. You can use 70% pure isopropyl alcohol, but if you do, you must wait much longer after cleaning to ensure that it is completely dry. For example, 99% isopropyl alcohol might dry in as quickly as one minute; 70% isopropyl alcohol can take as long as 15 minutes.

The reason may be quite simple – your cartridge is dry or clogged. Still, adding fresh ink may not resolve the situation. Try to wipe the cartridge with a lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Please avoid touching the metal parts of these cartridges and the chip not to damage their electrical contacts.

What happens if you over process toner? ›

If you leave the toner processing for too long, you might end up having damaged hair with unwanted purple or blue shades. Why does this happen? Toners have pigments in them to cancel out the yellow and orange tones in brassy hair.

While toner lasts longer than the printing ink used in inkjet printers, a toner cartridge has a finite shelf life and should be used before it goes bad. Using toner after its expiration date has passed can have negative effects on your print jobs and the devices they're used in.

The message "Replace Toner" is intended to alert you that the toner cartridge has reached the end of its expected life. It is recommended that the toner cartridge be replaced.

Toner and ink cartridges are specifically designed for printer models, and are constantly being phased out and replaced as new printer models are produced. There are likely two reasons for this: Printer companies price their devices very competitively, in order to entice customers into buying their products.

Research and development are often cited as the main reason for the high cost of supplies for inkjets and laser printers. HP claims it spends $1 billion a year on research and development, and holds over 4,000 patents alone on consumables, like toner cartridges for laser printers, and, of course, ink cartridges.

Laser printers use toner which will not dry out the same way an ink cartridge does. Unlike ink, which is liquid-based, toner is a dry powder composed of plastic components so it will not dry out. You can leave a toner cartridge in your printer for weeks untouched and it should still print.

To override HP ink cartridge error, remove and reinstall the indicated cartridge 2-3 times until it firmly seats in the slot. Then turn off the printer and remove all cartridges. Gently, with a dry lint-free cloth, wipe the contacts on the cartridge and carriage to remove any dirt or residue.

You do not need to replace ink cartridges until you are prompted to. In general, low ink levels should not impact print quality. Your printer stops and displays a message when ink levels get too low. However, the printer might still perform a limited amount of printing in 'backup mode' at low ink levels.

Resetting HP Ink Cartridges. There is no reset button on an ink cartridge by HP either. However, the process of its resetting is similar to an entertaining game, and if done correctly, you'll be back to printing in only a few minutes. Remove your cartridge from the printer and refill it with ink if needed.

How do I override my HP ink cartridge expiration date? ›

Using a generic or refilled ink cartridge won't automatically void your warranty, but it's important to note that any damage caused specifically from using a non-HP ink product won't be covered by the warranty for your HP printer.

The reason may be quite simple – your cartridge is dry or clogged. Still, adding fresh ink may not resolve the situation. Try to wipe the cartridge with a lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Please avoid touching the metal parts of these cartridges and the chip not to damage their electrical contacts.

This error occurs due to the chip on your cartridge still reporting a low or empty ink level from its previous use. The chip itself cannot be reset, so when the cartridge is refilled and then installed into a new machine it will still register as empty.

You can only install two black ink cartridges if your printer uses two different types of black ink. If you are trying to install a black ink cartridge in a color cartridge slot, your printer will not function and you could potentially cause damage to the machine.

Printers that use two cartridges (one black, one tri-color) can print if one cartridge is empty. To continue printing, remove the empty cartridge from the printer. If a Single-cartridge mode message displays, select OK. If you are using the black cartridge, prints are in black and white (grayscale).

Whether you use an HP printer or any other, you can make it possible to print in black while your printer screen is showing the color cartridge empty notification. All you need to do is reset your printer first and then, make certain print settings i.e open the option of “Print in Grayscale”.
