Misrepresented product? Hi,  I bought (at Staples) two remanufactured inkjet cartridges COMPATIBLE with hp 56 black and hp 57 colour pack. Now the box is completely legit, hp is presented with it's registered mark yet my hp printer decided to NOT print showing the message error of: INCOMPATIBLE INK. That is amazingly disturbing to think that Staples could forfeit a brand!!! And if that is not the case, how can I get around this problem? Thanks! Need to print real bad and real soon! Martine

For poor printing problems I suggest you run the Tap 10 diagnostic print test (see link to video below).
If the new (or refilled/reman/compatible) HP 56, 57 or 58 ink cartridge refuses to print black/color and/or function at all (i.e. blinking ink light on Deskjet 5000 series printer) or fails to complete the printer alignment following cartridge installation, then the ink cartridge either has a connectivity issue with the flexible printed circuit cable (inside unit where cartridge mates with cable), the rear cartridge contacts or cable contacts are dirty with ink residue, or the cartridge is suffering from marginal internal electrical performance. It is suggested you perform the TAP 43 (and TAP 10) DIAGNOSTIC PRINTER TEST to evaluate the ink cartridges electrical performance. Visit Inkjet411 support site to see instructional video: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=2358
NOTE: For the HP Deskjet 5000 series printer models, when you get an HP 56, 57 or 58 integrated ink cartridge refilled (i.e. currently offered at Costco or Frys today) or if you buy a remanufactured/compatible HP ink cartridge, the ink levels are not initially reset. However, continuing to use an ink cartridge which displays LOW INK alerts is permitted by the printer, simply select OK, CONTINUE or DISMISS when these alerts are observed. Now, it is possible to reset the ink levels by performing the procedure outlined on Inkjet411's site: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=1915
To clean the HP 56, 57 or 58 ink cartridges please visit the Inkjet411 site which provides recommendations on how to clean the electrical contacts, flex driver cables and how to perform a hot water flush of the nozzle plate (refer to video): http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=1519

Hope I help you a bit

Hi

Make sure you've got either 56 or 27 black and 57 or 28 colour cartridges. See here:

http://www.inksave.co.uk/product/PSC-1315/

You "pop" them down then withdraw the old ones. Put the new ones in angled slightly upwards then click them up into place. The raised plastic on top of the cartridges will prevent installation into the wrong ports. If you're trying to put in a 58 photo cartridge it goes into the black port.

Good Luck!

i think your colour cartridge is chocked up .clean it ,pour the head of the colour catridge in hot water then clean it from tissue and enjoy ur printing.

your HP Cartridges are not compatible with that kind of HP Printer, buy 56 black and 57 color. It might work...

Your printer takes the HP 56/57 cartridges. When you buy new cartridges you need to remove the black clip, then remove the strip of tape that covers the print head, then the cartridge can be installed in the printer.

It comes with HP #57 (C6657 A)—Tri-color print cartridge and HP #56 (C6656A)—Black print cartridge and the 56 must always be in there (the black one) but acceptable replacements for the color one are as follows: HP #58 (C6658A)—Photo print cartridge I suggest for the best photos use 58 and 56.

Click Start - Control panel - Printers & FAXES

Right click on the printer icon Officejet 5600 series -- Select properties - Click on ports tab - Change the port to USB virtual port.

Disconnect the usb cable from the computer.


1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type Services.msc
4. Locate print spooler on the list, right-click and choose stop.
5. Again right-click the print spooler and choose start.


Reconnect the usb cable try printing.
Thanks.

57 No. cartridge is defective. Through it in a dustbin and purchase a new one
