So when the printer no longer prints, how do you know which cartridge is empty?

There's usually a message in the menu screen that indicates which color needs to be replaced but unless UR buying the printer company replacements whichever very expensive just replace all with the Blake company replacement cartridges n u should be printing with no problems

I've had a similar problem after the printer sat idle for a week or so. I was able to correct the problem by re-priming the ink cartridges using the syringe provided with the Ink Block system. Remove the plug in the non-working cartridge, and using the syringe, draw a small amount of ink back into the cartridge. Run a cleaning cycle, and see if it is now working.

It has to detect the cartridge before it can print. You can try removal and reinsertion as well as resetting the printer but if that fails all you can do is use another cartridge.

I can send you empty cartridges if you want. Send me a email as soon as when you pay for it.

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

Make sure there is paper in it and hit the stop reset button. It will print everything that did notalready print that is waiting in the memory.

On my printer I can refill and reset the original cartridges. I found that, when you get a message for empty cartridge you press and hold the stop button (not the on and off switch) for about 10 seconds.

Thanks for getting back to me. My problem is that the small one is the one that is getting empty, and the big one is still as full as when I first bought the printer. I print mostly documents, but don't know how to force the printer to use the big black cartridge. I am thinking of trying selecting "grayscale" more often, to see if that starts drawing down on the big cartridge. I have previously just selected color printing, even if doing only black and white documents.Again, thanks for answering my cry in the wilderness.Cheers!

All refilled cartridges don't register because it's refilled. I remove mine, give it a shake and put it back in. It still says it's empty, but it's printing!

I've been trying to find the same thing out for myself. An empty cartridge that I can refill? Anyone have any input?

Rob it won't work, once the cartridge is empty the printer will not print. so it's best to buy a new cartridge.

Yes, you just need to remember which one you are using and identify it. Otherwise, you sit there like a dummy wondering why nothing is printing....lol. Not that I am saying I have done that.....however...ok, I have.

After only a few copies, the black cartridge was empty and the color cartridge showed low ink. My printer is only a month old. I did a deep cleaning and still had the same results.

It's not entirely empty. Press the top button- holding it for a few seconds- then let go. It will start the printing. It's usually good for another several photo prints before it tells you again to replace the tank. Do it or it won't print. You can damage a printer by not replacing the tanks at this point! It will suck air instead of ink and you'll need to RESET it or take it to a service center. There is info on youtube about many aspects of printing.

Follow directions that come with cartridge. Turn off power. Open front of printer. Take out cartridge and separate from drum. Install cartridge in drum and reinstall in printer. Turn on power and follow directionsto zero number.

just the empty one, but I have not gotten any cartridges besides original cannon cartridges to print with quality and the four cartridges cost as much as the printer - about 4 - 500 dollars.
