I have a HP Deskjet 6127 and it won't print in color. Cartridges are new and the tape has been removed.

If the cartridges are new, make sure you removed the, (sometimes clear), tape that the manufacturer places over the shinny metallic ink distribution slots, (shinny objects on the underside of the cartridges, like the previous answers have described). Otherwise, make sure the cartridges are the correct model for your printer, and I use a dab of alcohol on my q-tips to clean off old dried ink from the contacts. The contacts are very obvious once the cartridges are removed. Make sure to unplug the printer once you have removed the cartridges to access the contacts, before cleaning. And be gentle with the contacts, rub gently. And clean the cartridge contacts and ink dispensing slots as well, and gently as well. As previously mentioned, you should get ink on the q-tip when cleaning the ink distribution slots. Three colors, yellow blue and red from the color cartridge and black from the black cartridge. So clean the contacts first, then do the ink dispensers last to avoid adding ink to the contacts with a ink soggy q-tip. Good luck and be gentle.

Make certain that the cover is off the jets - if you forgot to pull the strip off or it broke leaving part of the tape on the cartridge, it won't work. Try to do a clean process on the cartridge. If that doesn't work, and you don't have another printer to try the cartridge in, return it to the place you bought it and get another new one. If the printer is printing pink, the color cartridge is probably empty also so that it cannot make black from the other colors. These sound like refilled cartridges - OEMs would have failed with some form of error code or warning.

Try cleaning those contact points on the cartidges(looks like gold dots). You can use nails polish remover or surgical spirits. If it's still not working then you should take it to yur nearest dealer for service or repair.

Sounds like your ink cartridges have defective electronics or the pins in your machine are dirty. You can clean the electrical contacts in your printer and on your cartridge first with isopropyl alcohol followed by water on q-tips to remove any alcohol residue. If that doesn't work then you need to replace the ink cartridges to fix the problem.

Hello,

Try this procedure:
1. Open printer lid so cartridges move to center of carriage.
2. Lift clamp and remove black or color cartridge from the holder.
3. Place cartridge on table with copper contact strip facing you.
4. Carefully place a strip of clear plastic tape over the four contacts on the upper left corner of the cartridge.
5. Reinstall cartridge in printer and close lid. Wait until cartridge returns to parking position.
6. Open lid and remove cartridge again. Remove tape from left side and place tape over four contacts at upper right corner of cartridge.
7. Reinstall cartridge in printer and close lid. Wait until cartridge returns to parking position again.
8. Open lid again, remove cartridge, remove tape.
9. Reinstall cartridge and close lid.
Printer will now recalibrate. Once the process is complete the ink level meter should be reading full again.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.

If you are not using factory new HP ink and cartridges then that is most probably your problems.

If you are using HP factory new cartridges, then contact HP technical support and inform them that you have a defective cartridge.

By the way, you did take the tape off of the nozzles and contacts, didn't you?

Are you sure the plastic tape has been removed from the cartridges?

Hi dear; When you put in the new cartridge ,did you removed the plastic seal(tape)?
