How to remove shipping lock from black cartridge ?

This error occurs if you forget to remove both the shipping tape and the locks from the cartridge. Remove the cartridge from the printer and look for orange tabs. There should be three of them. If they have been removed then you may have a bad cartridge, try installing a different cartridge, if second cartridge fails then likely it is a problem with the printer.

If this is a color printer, there are cartridge locks on the left side of the printer after you remove the cartridges especially on a 3600, 3800, etc. These white plastic locks can break and you will get this message. But first make sure the shipping tape etc are removed from the cartridge

if it works every thing is fine

HP Remove Shipping Lock Error Fix for HP Laser Printer CP1515 CP1518 CP2025

I had same problem with black and blue cartridges. I did all recommendations -- return to factory setting ( no help). Shake cartridges REALLY hard ( no help); reinstall printer/ driver ( no help). What finally WORKED was SWAPPING the cartridges around ( for ex. put red in black spot, blue in yellow). I then got an error message ( b/c in wrong spot). Then I placed them back in correct spots and it WORKED !!! NO more error message that the ship lock was on !!! And this worked with generic cartirdges.

My suggestion is to put the 2 cartridges next to each other and look at them as closely as you can. There has to be a difference between the one that works and the ones that give the error.
Something that just occurred to me. Check the slot where the black cartridge sits. Check it for something that could have fallen off the original cartridge and is wedged in the slot. Compare the slot with another cartridges slot.
Because one cartridge works and others don't, it tells me it's a physical(hardware) problem not electrical.

Check the following steps for fixing Hp Carriage Jam Error :

• Open the print carriage access door. Check for any packing material that may be blocking the internal components. Check for an orange shipping lock that may still be in place on the left side. Pull the shipping lock out, if present, and discard.
• Remove and reinstall the cartridges to make sure they are properly installed. Lift the front center of the print carriage access door to open it. Lift the door up until it locks into an open position. Press down on a print cartridge and allow it to spring back up. Lift the cartridge out of the printer. Do the same for the other cartridge. Slide the black cartridge into the slot on the left and the color cartridge into the slot on the right. Press down on each one to lock it into place. Lower the print carriage access door.
• Check the print cartridges to make sure the protective tape has been removed from the ink nozzles. Remove the cartridges from the printer. Remove any tape or labels. Replace the cartridges into the printer.
• Push in on the tab on the left side of the clean-out door on the back of the printer to open the door. Lift the door out of the printer. Check for any paper jams. Jammed paper can block the printer cartridge carriage from moving. Pull any jammed paper out.

HP Color LaserJet CM 1312 Series MFP customers may experience a failure during initial printer startup. After installing the print cartridges and powering on the printer they may receive an error condition or error message on the printer’s display. The printer’s orange Attention LED will flash and a Remove shipping lock from XX cartridge message will appear on the printer’s display; where XX represents the black, cyan, magenta or yellow print cartridge or any combination.
SOLUTION: First, verify the print cartridge shipping locks (orange ring attached to the toner as shown below) have been removed from the print cartridge(s) in question. Second, verify the front and back doors of the printer are properly closed. If the shipping lock has been removed, all doors are closed, and the Remove shipping lock from XX cartridge error remains a unit exchange is the recommended solution.
