Remove and check color cartridge

My HP 2610 is a little over a year old. It just started giving the message "Remove and check color cartridge". I have cleaned the contacts with alcohol and a Q-tip. I have tried one new 97 and one new 95 cartridge and one half ful 95 cartridge that was working fine in another printer. The message is persistent and the printer will not work. random error message about remove and check cartridge. Can reboot computer and error will sometimes go away. I have cleaned the cartridge.

I cleaned mine with alcohol and Q-tip and then shook it 25 times to insure that the ink was penetrating the application lines. My hunch is it first got dirty, and then dried up on the exterior prevent additional ink from leaving the cartridge.

What to look for when it keeps saying ... Error .... Remove and check color Cartridge?
I suggest you run the 'Tap 10' diagnostic test pattern for your HP PS 2600 series printer model...this will display the electrical health of the ink cartridges and confirm that your printer is operational (I am guessing one of the ink cartridge control lines is open).

Hello Cliff, welcome to FixYa.

Hard Reset the printer by doing the following:
  • Remove all the ink cartridges.
  • While the printer in ON, unplugged the power cable from the power source.
  • Disconnect the USB cable at the back of the printer (if your printer is connected through a USB cable)
  • Restart your computer.
  • Connect back the USB cable.
  • Plug the power cable to its power source.
  • Turn ON the printer if it does not turn ON automatically.
  • Install the ink cartridges.
  • If the printer prompts for an print head alignment, please do so.

If the problem persists, replace the ink cartridge. The cartridge might be defective since you already have tried to clean the contacts.

Keep me posted.

I have a HP 8259 printer and it indicates the yellow print cartridge needs to be replaced even when i install a new cartridge. It will not let me print in color or black/grayscale. I have had the printer...
Older printers can do funny things. It is probable that the little copper contacts on the ink cartridge are not making good contact with the printer which is giving bad information to the computer that the ink cartridge is empty. A two year old printer may have some corrosion on the printer's contacts. Remove the ink cartridge and use a soft pencil eraser to clean the printer's contacts.

My HP Photosmart 2610 All in One has an error message reading "Remove and check cartridge on the right." I did it three times and there was nothing wrong. Any ideas?
IT seems to be fairly common issue with HP printers.

Try this:
Remove the power cable from the back of the machine. Wait 30 seconds. Press and hold the POWER button on the front panel.

Reinsert the power cable in the backside of the unit.

Print a test page. If the problem persists, replace the cartridge.

These printers have a cartridge check feature. If it detects cartridge contact problems such as dirt, dust or oil on a contact, it will give warnings so the user can correct them by properly seating the cartridge and/or cleaning the contacts.

Says to remove and check color ink cartridge
Take out cartridge and clean the contacts. On the printer and on the cartridge. Mine did that and there was a speck of ink where the cartridge meets the printer contact. Actually, it was a defective cartridge.

Hi Lapidary,
The contacts in the printer could be dirty. Where the cartridge fits in , there should be some copper contact points. Remove the colour cartridge and pull the power. Use some alcohol and clean the contacts (and also those on the cartridge just in case). Give it a few moments for the alcohol to dry. Put in the cartridge and turn on printer.

Remove and check color cartridge
try this. worked for me. when installing the cartridge, put one finger under the cartridge and hold upward pressure as you closed the green plastic cover. problem is the pins on the cartridge and the pins on the printer are not aligning properly by relying on the spring to do it. this will help to align the pins and should make it work.
