HP C6280 Error: Ink Cartridges Empty BEWARE SPAM NUMBER 1-800-532-4187

I just replaced Cyan cartridge, but now I keep getting "Ink Cartridges Empty" pop-up window telling me to install Cyan cartridge. When I click "Black Only" button it prints in color. The HP Solution Center is showing the correct ink levels. I don't understand why I keep receiving the pop-up message asking if I want to print with black ink only and that all printing will stop if cartridge is not replaced soon. Someone please help!

Says the cyan ink cartraige is empy but it is new, replaced it with another new one and still says its empty

remove all cartridges and close the lid. Wait for "ink cartridges missing..." error to appear then install all cartridges and close the lid. If the error persists, remove all cartridges then clean the cyan chip and corresponding contacts in the printer with damp cotton bud. Dry well (with dry c/bud) then fit cartridges back in. If still no good, contact HP.

hope this helps

I HAVE AN HP PHOTOSMART C6280 ALL-IN-ONE PRINTER BROUGHT OVER FROM THE U.S.A. 3 OF THE INK CARTRIDGES ARE EMPTY AND I HAVE REPLACED THEM, BUT NOT WITH HP INK. THE MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN IS SAYING THE INK...

Hi,
As the printer was bought in the US the printer is meant to use the #02 cartridges.

When you decided to replace the empty cartridges with refilled ones…the place you took them to be refilled more than likely decided to replace the little chip with a local flavour, which attempt to mimic original HP cartridges #363 (or what ever the number of those cartridges is where you are now). Hence now they are rejected by your printer.

But because the printer is only designed to use #02 cartridges it will reject every other cartridge/chip that do not have an #02 programmed into them….

You could try to call HP and explain them your situation and see if they can help you reset your printer to accept a different cartridge number …

Cheers.

My C6280 printer says the black is empty but it is

Dear Sir,

Printer doesn't identify the ink accurately all these are controlled by software only.So it is showing your black cartridge is empty but trace amount of ink actually remained,by this you are getting black and white prints correctly.After the consumption of that trace amount of ink it may print black text as a greenish-brown because printing taking place only by means of color cartridges.So if you observed blurred text or greenish-brown text, now you can replace your ink cartridges.

i think it helps

good luck

Ink System Failure on a HP Photosmart C6280 All-in One

This is likely a cartridge problem except if the carriage is not moving at all. If you still have some of the used cartridges you can used them to trouble shoot by elimination ok. Or contact a nearby technician who has the cartriges to use them for trouble shooting. I strongly believe the one of the print carts is the culprit. Good luck

HP C6280 with new ink cartridges shows cartridges empty

First make sure you are placing the right
color cartridge into the right slot.
Most Printers are touchy about the
installation of ink cartridges. If the
instructions say to press the cartridge
into the slot until you hear a loud click,
that's what they mean. If at first you
don't succeed, remove the cartridge and
reinsert it into the slot again and press
on it hard till it clicks.
Then your printer should work properly.
Hope this is of some help. Bud
