How to Override HP Printer Cartridge Problem.
Can’t afford to buy a new printer every time you run out of ink? Here’s how to override the problem with your current printer. It might work or it might not, but it’s worth a try.
1: Plug your printer in and make sure the power is on.
2: Remove the cartridge from the machine and then close up any doors or covers on top of it so that no light can get in.
3: Turn off the printer by pressing and holding in one of its buttons for at least 10 seconds or until you see a prompt telling you to open up some compartmental doors on top of it (there will be one somewhere).
4: Open up the compartment door you find and you’ll see the ink, ribbon and paper roll.

6: Put the original print head back in place.
7: Put your new cartridge back in the new machine.

In order to override a hp printer cartridge problem, you don’t have to get all these steps right on the first try. I’ve had 2 or 3 cartridges where I just couldn’t get them to work in my old printer, but every time I swapped them out, they would work right away in my new printer. You may notice that sometimes the colors will look different when you first plug your cartridge into your old machine, but that’s normal – printer heads are not color-accurate and your colors will get better with use.
As for where you get a new printer cartridge, try eBay or Craigslist – I’ve seen ink cartridges go for as low as $10 on eBay. If you don’t want to or can’t pick it up yourself, they also offer free shipping with Priority Mail on eBay.
