If the cartridge has metal contacts, clean them with a slightly damp cloth and wipe over the ink head that faces the paper, too. If that doesn't work, then you may need a new ink cartridge.

    or better buy a real HP cartridge made by HP.
    if that fails , retire the printer.
    most refills clog fast.
    the contact cleaning is covered in your manual If you don't mind reading it.

Printer says incompatible cartridge

If it is a new genuine up cartridge and not out of date contact hp and they will replace it. If it is an aftermarket unit it will always say that and may not work. There are good aftermarket brand and not so good.

We just refill both cartidge at costco. when I load the cartidges I get the cartridge incorrect message. please help

The HP cartridges have a chip on them, you must reset it after recharge using a special gizmo, otherwise the cartridge will be considered defective by the printer and rejected. Go back at Costco and ask them to reset it.

My HP Photosmart C4700 keeps saying the printer cartridge is in wrong. I have taken them both out and put them in and they are correct.


These types of severe cartridge errors (i.e. "refer to documentation" / "incompatible cartridges", etc.) typically indicate the internal micro-electronics of the HP #60-61 cartridge are electrically damaged. The cartridge's electrical wire runs at rear and lower side of the ink cartridge, are very delicate and are somewhat susceptible to ink attack over time, which can lead to premature failures. In addition, the older the cartridge the higher the chance of an internal electrical failure due to prolonged ink exposure and subsequent circuit corrosion. I suggest you always run a 'Tap 41' diagnostic test to check cartridges electrical health (this is a forced test); you may also bypass the error (temporarily) on C4600-C4700 models which use HP 60 cartridges. Refer to Inkjet411 youtube videos below:

818 cartridge refilling

If you mean the HP DeskJet F380 cartridges (the HP 21 and HP 22 cartridges) you will have unreliable success refilling these cartridges either yourself or online, at Costco, Office Max, and Walgreens. These refillers generally don't have fantastic quality control or knowledge of printer cartridges. I suggest Cartridge World or Office Depot refills. If you mean the HP Photosmart C8180 (the HP 02 cartridges) refilling them is easy but you need to replace the chip on the cartridge for it to work in your printer. As long as a refilled cartridge has a new chip it should work in your machine. Again I recommend Cartridge World or Office Depot refills.
