SOURCE: Will not recognize new yellow ink cartridge

I had same problem with yellow cartridges. Staples said it was bad printer head. Extended warranty replaced printer with a defective one, then replaced that one with one that will only print thru the computer and will not light start button or screen. I can't use the buttons on the printer. Tired of shipping printers so will never buy another HP product.

SOURCE: HP C6280 with new ink cartridges shows cartridges empty

First make sure you are placing the right
color cartridge into the right slot.
Most Printers are touchy about the
installation of ink cartridges. If the
instructions say to press the cartridge
into the slot until you hear a loud click,
that's what they mean. If at first you
don't succeed, remove the cartridge and
reinsert it into the slot again and press
on it hard till it clicks.
Then your printer should work properly.
Hope this is of some help. Bud

My C6280 printer says the black is empty but it is

Dear Sir,

Printer doesn't identify the ink accurately all these are controlled by software only.So it is showing your black cartridge is empty but trace amount of ink actually remained,by this you are getting black and white prints correctly.After the consumption of that trace amount of ink it may print black text as a greenish-brown because printing taking place only by means of color cartridges.So if you observed blurred text or greenish-brown text, now you can replace your ink cartridges.

i think it helps

good luck
