I have taken out the cartridges numerous times to reinstall and it still does not work......
GooGoo Sep 20, 2007

When you say the program for your printer tray??? do you mean the software program for the printer? I have already reinstalled a new print driver and it did not work. So exactly what are you saying when you say"program for the printer tray"?
I spent all day yesterday troubleshooting this problem and still did not get it to work.

Do you mean the printer software???

Hey, I have already tried to realign the cartridge and it doesn't work either.....

Sticker tape????? come on.. I did that way back...........come up with something new...
I have already been on the dellsupport site.
I have done it all..........except the software. Now where would I find the software for the printer? This was already installed on my computer when I purchased the PC and Printer......

HI: sorry, did not mean to be so blunt towards you. I am just so frustrated, I do not know what to do......

Yes, I have already read the manual and the printer solution center. Have done all these things too..... sorry....
Believe me, I have tried everything....
I even had another person helping me too and he could not come up with a solution either.

I honestly think that Dell puts out a defected
product........ it certainly isn't designed for long term wear. would you say.
maybe two years.......at the most...

The printer doesn't recognize the new original HP color cartridge

There is a small spring that holds the ink cartridge in the ink holder. You will see it stick out from the right hand side of the ink holder where the ink cartridge slides in. If that spring isn't being held to the ink holder by two plastic tabs, (I.E. the plastic tabs are broken) the printer will never recognize the cartridge. If the printer is still under warranty I would contact HP or an authorized repair center for HP. Both the black and color ink holder has this spring. I know of no way to repair this kind of breakage.

Printer won't process new catridges. These cartridges have been refilled.

Did you install the original cartridge? if you have the old empty cartridge, try to install it and check the error is empty cartridge..if so the problem is the newly installed cartridge. try to buy the new original one.
