HP c6280 Won't load ink cartridges

I would go to HP and update the C6280 printers drivers. It sounds like there is an issue with the driver. It there is not an update then I would uninstall the driver and reinstall.

Did you remove the protective cover / tape, you re put the cartridge.

If what you're saying is still the result after cleaning everything up, there must already be something wrong with the printhead because the printheads are the one's that are responsible for the mixture of the ink cartridges.
Try calling HP Tech Support. They might still be able to replace the printheads for you.

Introductory cartridges come with the printer and carry special ink formulations intended for printer initialization. During initialization, inks in the introductory cartridges mix with inks in the printer to create a normal ink formulation. After initialization, introductory cartridges can be used in any compatible printer. However, if introductory cartridges that have not been through initialization are installed in a printer that has already been initialized, the printer cannot print

If the issue persists, perform these steps

just follow this link and ur problem will be resolved

Something is wrong with your Blach carrier or connections. Use a bit of alcohol and clean the array of gold contacts where the Ink cartridge plugs in. Most of the pins are shutter and piezo control (get the ink on paper) but a few do other stuff like check ink level, # of hours runtime, etc. This is very common problem with inkjet printers. Hope this helps.
Also... rub the contacts on the printhead with a pencil eraser to make them shiny and bright.

Cheers!

You must replace all cartridges with new GENUINE HP carts to get a sucessful alignment.

This is how HP makes their money.

Did you try the genuine HP cartridge? Maybe you should try first the original Ink Cartridge.

you need to use a HP cartridge itself.....try that out....it will work !!!!!!!!!!!! You know why? Every HP printer and cartridge have a firmware information loaded onto their circuit ( copper circuit )and would function well only if they understand each other.... try it out.....
