Ink name - HP OfficeJet 6110 All-In-One InkJet Printer

Donna, typically there is a protector that covers the ink dispenser's copper contacts.It may be in the form of a protective sticker or a piece of plastic over the cartridge's dispenser. Hopefully you removed the protective cover before installing the ink cartridge

Some printers, like HP are proprietary and require their genuine brand cartridge for replacement...generic brand cartridges or refill cartridges are normally rejected.

Other printers, like Brother, have a sensor, while others may have a software program that "predicts" when your printer is out of ink; triggering a fault code- when in fact there is still plenty of ink left in the cartridge.

And yet, there are cartridges, like HP, that have a date chip in them such that when the expiration date of the ink cartridge comes about, even though there is ink in the cartridge, the printer will no longer function... a word to the wise, when purchasing an ink cartridge, check the expiration date stamp on the box.

Since you did not mention the printer name and model or the name of the ink cartridge, my remarks are generalizations- and not printer specific

are you sure the inks are full ? it will only print out whatever ink it has left ? if inks are ok go to/control panel on laptop/click open printers/find the name of your printer/ now RIGHT click on that name and go down to "properties" look along the top of that tab and see "maintenance" you will find the settings in there for paper size/colour/head clean etc

Try to replace the ink cartridge with a new name brand ink jet cartridge that matches the manufacturer. Sometimes aftermarket ink jet cartridges don't work as well as the name brand ones.

A person might notice that buying new, name brand, ink cartridge for printer rapidly becomes quite an expenditure. Nonetheless, there are quite a lot of different methods to find the equal quality standard for a alot lower price. Your primary options are: name brand (OEM) ink cartridge for printer, matching generic ink printer cartridges or remanufactured ink printer cartridges.
When you are purchasing a replacement photo printer cartridge, consumers do have choices. It’s frequently assumed that shoppers are required to buy the expensive, name brand, cartridge for laser printer from the manufacturer, or the service contract will become void. Their belief merely is not correct. By law, the use of compatible replacement inkjet printer cartridges does not render null and void the printer makers guarantee. In truth, you can choose to get less pricey compatible cartridge for laser printer, or remanufactured cartridges, often with a realized savings of between 40% and 75%. All chief ink laser printer cartridge brands have matching versions, including IBM, and Xerox.

Name Brand Inkjet Cartridge for Laser Printer
Nearly all major makers of laser printers also create the replacement inkjet printer cartridges that are best matched for their particular laser printers. This option is ordinarily the most expensive, and in a lot of situations it is the lone choice available if you happen to get a new laser printer whose producer implanted computer chips in the ink printer cartridge. The point of this chip may possibly be to regulate the color ink flow, limit the cartridges use, or to standardize the cartridge in alignment. Nevertheless, if you pick out a similar, or remanufactured, cartridge for laser printer, it might not be able to interconnect with the laser printer and may harm the laser copier or cause it to quit working.

Comparable Generic Inkjet Cartridge for Laser Printer
When thinking about purchasing an ink printer cartridge for your laser printer, the key aspect you must to bear in mind is the price. Buying a brand new ink laser printer cartridge will be based upon how much you are prepared to give. You can buy a new brand name cartridge for printer, or you might purchase a new compatible (generic) ink printer cartridge. Both types of ink printer cartridges might provide you with the same quantity, quality and performance you insist on from your printer. The major difference is in cost: a brand name ink printer cartridge might easily cost nearly twice the price of a compatible cartridge for printer.
Compatible (generic) inkjet laser printer cartridges are made to meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specs. These makers usually set very lofty standards of dependability and quality and also provide high quality results, regularly exceeding the quality specifications established by the OEM. These cartridge for printer are produced with new parts and are a lower priced option to costly name brand ink printer cartridges.
Buyers might also be surprised to see that the generic comparable cartridge will publish the same amount of, or more, pages than the original OEM cartridge. Largely, this is since certain original OEM ink laser printer cartridges are not filled all the way up. In this situation, a compatible ink cartridge for printer could give you twice the advantage: it reduces your price per cartridge and cost per page by printing additional pages

Hello,

My name is Army Mason, and I am here to help. Yes this is somewhat common issue with all-in-one machines. Have you tried cleaning the metallic connectors where the cartridge goes? This is normally the issue, also are these brand new ink cartridges or did you get them refilled? Refilled cartridges can also cause issues. Try cleaning the terminals, that should resolve the issue.

Have a wonderful week,
ArmyMason

Please give more information, Name and model of printer etc.
Do you want dismantle instructions?
Can you just take out the absorber?
If you can, then you can clean it out with warm water. Ink jet inks are water soluble.

Hello,

What is the brand name and model of your printer? Make sure that your ink cartridges are precisely the correct cartridges for the brand and model that you are using. From what I have experienced ... if you try to use a used ink cartridge you will recieve an error.

It is possible you're black cartridge is too low on ink & needs replaced. If you're black ink cartridge is new, there could be small ammounts of sticky tape left over the contacts of the ink cartridge. Please clean the ink cartridge's copper contacts (side only, not the bottom of the ink cartridge), with a cotton swab & a little alcohol. Since the ink cartridge is removed clean copper contacts inside the carriage holder as well. Allow time for the alcohol to dry. All most every printer installs software that monitors ink level's. To check you're printer for this. Click the start button, slide up to & click Printers and faxs. The printer and fax window will open. You're default printer will have a little check mark next to it. Right click once on that printer name, another little pop-up window will open, slide to & left click on properties.
You're printer (It's name) will open. Near the bottom click on Printing Preferences. Another window will open. Click the Services tab. Than click Service this device. You should be able to see the ink levels.

Have more questions? Please feel free to ask.
Hope this has helped.
Luck!
