My hp printer f4280 display E on the start/copy screen and colore print catridge display empty but i refilled it. printer does not print. what is the problem?

Might be cartridges are refilled.
You may got doubt why its not measuring the ink levels?. When printer found new catridge(printer/system based on design) will treats that new cartridge installed & estimated level will display fully.After couple of print outs printer/system will displays estimated ink levels depend upon the ink usage. But there is no mechanical ink level sensors or any other device for mesuaring the levels..Once the ink level trated empty you need to replace new cartridge straight away,if you refilled the same catridge it wont measure the levels, because of the cartridge data code already stored in printer. ..

OK, HP recommends that new HP cartridges be used rather than refilling. I've had better results with new cartridges that are name brand than trying to refill to save money.

Hi

you need to replace black cartridge with a new one
or refill an old one if you have any

check here how

Click Start
Click Control Panel
Click Classic View
Click Printers
Right-mouse click on the icon for your HP printer.
Click Properties.
Change from "print in colour" to "print only in black".
Click OK.

Now, your printer *might* print, or it still may demand that the "empty" ink-cartridge be replaced.

thats the right way for a succesfull refilling

Sounds like the printer thinks the cartridge is empty. Old PSC units had a 3 cartridge memory - you kept 3 cartridges and cycled them to trick the printer into thinking it had just received a brand new cartridge, rather than a refilled one.

the color catridge might hav been empty
refill the catridge to print properly
if not check if any dust at the outlet of the catridge

If you want to use this non-
HP print cartridge, press
(Cancel Job) to continue printing.

The ink level indicator is only an estimate to give you an idea when it's time to buy a new cartridge. You cannot reset the ink level indicator so simply ignore it if you refill your cartridges. See pg 72 of the user manual which you can get here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01374711.pdf
