Welcome to Fixya.

Here's how to determine the ink levels for your inkjet printer :

HPC3135 Ink Level check

Please see my additional reminders :

• If the printing quality diminishes, it's a good time to check your ink levels.
• Change your cartridge often for good printing quality.
• If you refill the cartridge, the ink level indicator may not be accurate.
• Don't wait until the last minute to change your cartridge.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Did you have the no cartridge prompt on before you changed the cartridge? If no, then did you remove all packing material. Is this the first time you have changed the cartridge?

Let me know

slowly off and on the printer for five times without cartridge, printer saves data of cart of last 5 only so next time it reads full ink..

Hi,
Easy solution:
Press The index sheet button and the scan button at the same time.
In the printers window 'set up' will appear. using the left right arrows proceed to 'Ink cartridge replacement'.
Press 'start'. The ink cartridge holder will align itself in the middle of the space where it is easy to remove the cartridges.
I am disgusted with Epson making this so diificult to figure out. Once you know..then you know. but no amount of guesswork would have come up with the solution
Please rate!! Thanks, Prem

Changing a printer cartridge is not complex but improper handling of the parts may damage the printer and the cartridge. If the user notices that while printing the ink comes out dry or faded, it may be time to change the ink or the toner. The user will know if it is time to change the toner because instead of a sharp image, one will get a faded image. It is time to change the ink cartridge when the printing comes out spotty or colors are used to replace others —for instance, blue for black or yellow for red. Remember, faded images signal the need to change the toner; spotty printing signals the need to change the ink cartridge get more help for change cartridge .
Hope this helps you.

The following are common issues.

The following ink cartridges cannot be used after device initialization and must be replaced

Cause The wrong ink cartridge(s) are installed.
Solution The indicated ink cartridge(s) cannot be used after the device has undergone first time setup. Replace the ink cartridge(s) with the appropriate ink cartridges for the HP All-in-One. To find out the reorder number for all the ink cartridges that the HP All-in-One supports, see the printed documentation that came with the HP All-in-One.
If you are using compatible cartridges make sure they are reset for use.


Ink cartridge problem

Solution Replace the indicated ink cartridge(s) immediately so that you can resume printing. If there are no ink cartridges missing from the HP All-in-One, the ink cartridge contacts might need to be cleaned. If there are no ink cartridges missing from the HP All-in-One, and you still receive this message after cleaning the ink cartridge contacts, you might have a damaged ink cartridge.

Wweluvgolf, sometimes after you remove the protective tap from the ink cartridge, it leaves behind tape residual. Suggest you clean the ink cartridge's copper contacts with alcohol & cotton swabs. (No dripping alcohol). Do not clean the bottom of the ink cartridge. Also clean the copper contacts in the carriage. Allow all to dry. Reassemble & try printing a test page.
In the future keep your recipts when buying ink. From time to time you will buy a bad cartridge. With the recipt you'll be able to exchange it for another (free). Always store ink in it's upright posistion.

If this did not help please let me know & post the model number of the printer.

Luck!

OK, i know this one ;-)

1 take out the cartridge thats not recognised ( 1 or all dont matter)

2 do a ink change with no ink in

3 put ink cartridge(s) back in.... wiggle the cartridge(s) to seat the "chip" right

4 do a ink change again, if not just follow the steps again.

I had to do this 5 times the other day before it picked it up.

It does work
