In most cases when the HP02 cartridge is not recognized, or has poor connectivity, you will normally receive an "Unrecognized Cartridge" or "Cartridge Problem" error message with a big RED X; in most cases (like 99.3%) the smart chip needs to be replaced with a new one - please note the chip life has 25 month expiration window from the time the HP02 (or 363 in the UK) cartridge is initially installed into the printer. Click here for more information when using refilled ink cartridges or general printing problems using any HP02 ink cartridge: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=1372

If you observe an INK SYSTEM FAILURE message then the permanent PRINTHEAD may be electrically damaged (unfortunately it is not replaceable; you can verify this by performing the following):

To bypass INK SYSTEM FAILURE message please see the HP Printer Diagnostics Tests file (pdf) for instructions: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=1813

Verify the permanent built-in PRINTHEADs electrical performance inside this legacy printer model by running the TAP 43 diagnostic test (either one of the procedures below applies to all printers which use HP02 or HP363 ink cartridges): For additional HP02 support information, please visit our HP02 system support page which includes videos of everything mentioned below: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=1372

A.HP02 ink-series printers with KEYPAD (i.e. keypad numbers 1-9)
Tap 43 PRINTHEAD Health Diagnostics:
Video Procedure: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=2391

    1.Press * and # keys simultaneously.
    2. "Enter Special Key Combo" will be displayed.
    3.Press 123 to display the 'Support/Service' menu.
    4.At 'Support/Service' menu, click the Right Arrow 3 times until Special Reports menu is displayed.
    5.Select Ok, then click Right Arrow 2 times until the 'print-mech button tap' menu is displayed.
    6.Select Ok ('code = 0' will be displayed); click and hold Right Arrow until 'code = 43' is displayed. Use the Left Arrow if you need to decrease numerical count.
    7.Select Ok. The test page prints.
    8.Check the 4th line at the top of the printed report; an electrically good/stable PRINTHEAD 'Pen Status' will state "Pen Status: Pen OK".........if any other message is displayed then the PRINTHEAD may have failed and may need to be replaced (if part is still available). It is suggested to perform the 'Printer Reset' procedure below to first rule out printer firmware related problem.
    B.HP02 ink-series printer models that DO NOT HAVE a KEYPAD:
    Internal Test Print:

Hi hp_dis,

This error represents a failure on the printer itself. HP considered it a total hardware failure and the unit had to be replaced, as it was unrepairable in the field and parts to repair them are pretty non-existent for ordering. Here's the link from HP about this specific problem and you may need to contact them directly if the machine is still under warranty so they may help you with the replacement of your machine.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: my printer must be turned off and on after each print job. How do I fix this?

That represents a failure within the printer itself, it has nothing to do with the software, driver, computer, etc...

HP considered it a total hardware failure and the unit had to be replaced, as it was unrepairable in the field and parts to repair them are pretty non-existent for ordering.

Here is a link for the error on your particular printer:

But, in the end, it usually came down to printer replacement.

Best of luck.
