Thanks for using Fixya.

The ink cartridges that can be used with this printer are HP92(black), HP93(tricolor), and HP99(photo). You can use other brands that cross over to the HP numbers but they would be the only cartridges you should use for proper operation.

ufortunatley you will have to have both cartridges in the printer for it to function there is no way for you to disable the chartridge check that the printer doe's on power up

No.
You need to have both cartridges for it to operate properly.

Hello,

Open the print cartridge door. Make sure the print carriage moves to the right. If it does not move to the right, turn the device off, then turn it back on again. IMPORTANT: The device must be turned on to insert cartridges.

You can see the location and proceedure to change the ink cartridges on page 14 of the manual (found here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00694908.pdf). Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words <grin>.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came withthe printer. When the software program asks you to connect theprinter to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

Hey DDD,

It looks like HP put together an animation to help with replacing the ink cartridges. I know you are just trying to install them for the first time, but it might be helpful:

Also, since you are just setting up the new product, double check that you've removed all the packing material and tape from the cartridges. I've made that mistake before ;-)

Cheers,
