Dell 942 aio printer not accepting new black cardridge

My dell 942 AIO printer will not accept the new black cartridge I have installed. Still gives "install black or photo cartridge on LH side. I have been refilling the cartridges prior to getting this new cart, which I think is a remanufactured cart. I was told at one point there is a way to fool the printer into accepting refilled cartridges - can the same be done with remanufactured cartridges, or do I have to try a real/new Dell cartridge?? Have already powered printer on/off, cleaned print heads and cartridges, and reseated power brick. Any other suggestions welcome. .

I have a Dell 942 AIO printer and though I have replaced both ink cartridges, the printer shows "Cartridge Missing - install black or colour cartridge on left hand side"

Have you removed the shipping tape on the print head of each cartridge? Is each cartridge locked in each of their housing? Try reinserting the cartridges. Turn the printer off then on again.

Dell 942 AIO printer won't recognise black cartridge:

I think you purchased a black cartridge with bad electronics. Basically your cartridge can't communicate with your printer and you should exchange it for a new one. There is no way to "fool" your printer into accepting refills with bad electronics. What you can do is when you get the message that you aren't using genuine cartridges and it won't be able to estimate ink levels is to check the box indicating to ignore the ink levels.

Dell AIO 942 Error 2200

I would recommend cleaning off the contacts where the cartridge is loaded as well as the any other spots to see if maybe there is just something on the contacts.

Dell 942 AIO printer cartridge problem

Was your replacement cartridge a new dell product? If it was, the sensor on the prnter should recognize it as new and reset the indicator to full. If, however, the cartridge was refilled, remanufactured, or otherwise an off brand, the ink indicator will show it to be empty. Just ignore and use the printer as normal -- it will print just fine, but you may need to press the select button to get it to start printing the first page.
