It keeps telling me that the ink cartridge is missing or not detected. I bought the same ink cartridge I have always used: HP 74 or HP 75. Besides that the printer works great (but now it won't even scan). Please Help!

HP Print Cartridge(s) Missing or Not Detected Fix on "YouTube":

Take "missing" cartridge and do an complaint where you bought it. There is no need to take whole machine.

(sorry form my English)

You can go to HP's site and find that you have a problem with one or more of your ink cartridges see:

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00737535.pdf

It states: " Ink cartridge problem
Cause The indicated ink cartridge(s) are missing or are damaged.
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. Contact HP
customer support." Go to:

Are you using genuine HP ink cartridges

Some printers need special software (that shipped with the printer) to "tell" the printer that the ink-cartridge has been replaced, and that the ink-levels need to be fully "reset".

Follow the instructions in this link.

It can't be anything else thatnthe cartridge. the ink hole is probably jamed or dried up. you probably have an option for this at the maintenance software, most printers do: Head cleaning.
if you're sure you don't have that, take a needle, be very very careful and pearce the opening on the cartridge where the ink is supposed to come out.
