HP PSC 2110 Color Printer Logo
Posted on Sep 12, 2007

HP Deskjet 6980

I installed a new black cartridge like I always do and I get a pop-up saying: Print Cartridge(s) Incorrectly Installed, The following print cartridge is incorrectly installed: Black. When I close the printer after installation of the cartridge it tries to run a color test as it normally would but it makes a grinding noise like something might be stuck. Please help!

    this printer may not have ever had a black cartridge in it.

Hp 2540 deskjet. Just replaced BOTH cartridges with genuine HP ink 60. Printer still flashes on the cartridges being empty. Error message. I cannot print anything. I can scan but that is all.

Per HP: After installing a new print cartridge, a message appears on the front panel that the print cartridge is low on ink. This may be caused by installing the cartridges with the power turned off. Cartridges should always be installed with the power turned on.

"Print Cartridge(s) Incorrectly Installed" pop-up whenever I try to print

1. Open the lid and allow the cartridges to slide over for access.
2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
3. Remove the cartridges and check to make sure you have the correct types for your printer.
CLICK HERE for the HP page with your printer troubleshooting guide and follow the links to find the correct action. They should have the best solution.
They will also have information on how to change your print quality from 'BEST' to 'Normal' and even 'DRAFT' if need be.

Can I print on my hp 6122 deskjet with only a black ink cartridge? I have no color ink.

Yes, all HP Deskjet printer models feature a 'single cartridge print mode'. Just remove the cartridge you don't wish to print with; the printer will automatically revert into either greyscale printing (if color cartridge remains installed) or black only printing (if the black cartridge remains installed). However, if the installed ink cartridge is electrically damaged/defective the printer will display an alert message; it will need to be replaced with a new cartridge.

The printer might be working but the cartridge is not connected properly. Just open your printer, remove the cartridge and replace it back in its right position.
