HP 7410 - No display and orange exclamation point is lit

Your original rivers are compatible with Windows 98; Windows 98 SE; Windows 2000; Windows Me; Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional. I suggest downloading the latest drivers. http://top-drivers.com/hp/7410

you can check the ink level from following steps Method one: Check the ink levels from the idle screen on the color graphics display Look for four icons at the bottom of the color graphics display. The icons represent the ink level remaining in each of the four color ink cartridges: black, yellow, light cyan (blue), and light magenta (pink). A larger and more accurate view of the ink levels can be displayed from the Setup menu. If an ink cartridge containing non-HP ink is being used, a question mark displays instead of the ink drop in the icon for that cartridge. The HP All-in-One cannot detect the amount of ink remaining in ink cartridges that contain non-HP ink. Figure 1: Non-HP ink icon NOTE: HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP ink. Printer service or repairs required as a result of printer failure or damage attributable to the use of non-HP ink will not be covered under warranty. If a hollow ink drop icon displays, the ink cartridge represented by that color icon has very little ink remaining and will need to be changed soon. You might be able to continue printing for a short period of time with ink remaining in the print head assembly. Replace the ink cartridge when the Replace Soon warning message displays on the color graphics display. Figure 2: Low ink level icon When the Empty Ink message appears on the color graphics display, the indicated ink cartridge is out of ink. Replace the indicated ink cartridge. Method two: Check ink levels from the Windows computer The estimated amount of ink remaining in the ink cartridges can be checked from the computer. See the on-screen HP Director Help for information on checking the ink levels from the Printer

The HP 99 cartridge is used if you would like to print photos. The HP 99 replaces the HP 96 (black) cartridge in your printer. The HP 99 cartridge has black, photo magenta, and photo cyan inks in it. When you pair this with the cyan, magenta, and yellow in your HP 97 (color) cartridge you have the full set of photo colors represented.

Seems like something a lot of us are experiencing. I have the exact same problem. Has anyone found a solution?

hi,
Here is what u need Click here and follow the steps.
Thanks,

I think that spring must have gotten loose that holds the cartridge in place, right hand side, put it back where it belongs, might want to compare with the other, black cartridge side.  Good Luck!

Not good, ma'am.

Try unplugging the power cord for 10 seconds.

Remove the toner cartridge, look for a jam.

Make sure the paper supply is pushed forward.

Did you download the Vista driver from HP? Here's a link:

7410 W/Vista downloads

You will need to uninstall the printer and any software you have already installed first.

I noticed that there is also a critical update for Vista users near the bottom of the list.

Worst printer HP ever made. Uneconomical to repair.
