You must be using HP60.
Have you refill your cartridge at all?

If you did, gentely wipe out the cartridge circuit part with Q-tip (with bit of alcohol).
And wipe out the circuit part in the printer where cartridge goes in as well.

And try back.
Sometimes by having some dust or bit of ink make cartridge unreadable.


If you used brand new, do same thing to cartridge circuit part.
Otherwise, there got to be some circuit shot happen in printer.

For your reference, HP4580 is pretty new model and has not cause major problem.
Good practical and durability is good.

If you would like to save money, try refill kit by "ROADINK".

Not only they are easy, but also the printing quality is good.
For your better understanding pls check out my youtube video.
And will see how easy ink refill can be done.

Cartridge error

Dear customer,
According to Dell documentation, the Dell Personal Inkjet Printer J740 will display this error message if it detects a short circuit in one of its two ink cartridges. Solution:
To fix this problem, you’ll need to replace the faulty ink cartridge (it’s possible that both cartridges have a short circuit). First, press the Power button on the printer to turn it off and open its front cover. Turn the printer back on and wait for the ink cartridge to stop moving. Remove the color cartridge and close the front cover. If you receive the error message again, you’ll need to replace the black ink cartridge. Repeat this process for the color cartridge to test it for a short. If you continue to receive the error message, you’ll need to replace the color cartridge, too.

Please Rate this solution. Thank You..

Cartridge Error

I had the cartridge error message aswell. I took an alcohol swab and cleaned the points on both cartridges, let the cartridges sit for 1 minute to dry, and replace cartridges, restart printer, problem solved. Apparently I haven't used this printer in a month or so, and left it in my car and the ink dryed and caused an error.
