With my HP C4150 I keep getting the error "remove and check print cartridge on the right" I have replaced the cartridge and its still messed up. Any clues?

The print cartridge may not have full electrical contact with the printer. Removing and reinstalling the cartridge may help.

Turn off the Printer and check by cleaning the Connection contact with the spirit ..

Then wait for 10 min to 15 min


#Make sure the printer is on. Press the Power button if it is not lit.
#Open the printer cover, and then wait until the carriage is idle and silent.
#Press down gently on the top of the cartridge to release it.
#Slide the cartridge out and inspect it.
1 - Copper electrical contacts
2 - Nozzles
* Check the electrical contacts for debris.
* Make sure all the clear protective tape has been removed from the nozzle and electrical contact area.
#Reinstall the cartridge in the product and try again to print.


Clean the cartridge contacts

To clean the electrical contacts on the print cartridge and in the carriage in the printer, follow these steps:

1. Open the printer lid and wait until the carriage stops moving, and then unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the cartridge and place it on a piece of paper with the nozzle plate facing up.
3. Dip a clean cotton swab in distilled water, and then squeeze it to remove most of the moisture.
4. Clean the print cartridge contacts. Do not touch the nozzles.
5. Clean the contacts inside the carriage, inside the printer.
6. Either let the cartridge sit for ten minutes to allow the cleaned area to dry, or use a new swab to dry it.
7. Reinstall the cartridge, plug in the power cord, close the printer cover, and then try again to print.

1. Disconnect the Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable from the back of the printer, but leave the printer turned on.
2. Open the cover of the printer and remove the print cartridges.
3. Close the cover and wait for the Insert Ink Cartridges message.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer and wait for one minute.
5. Reconnect the power cord. If the printer does not automatically turn on, press the Power button.
6. Open the cover and reinsert the print cartridges.
7. Close the cover. If prompted, print a calibration page.
8. Reconnect the USB cable, and try again to print.

Sometimes get that statement if your using generic cartridges. Also when changing an hp cartridge usually it will require you to align the page after changing the cartridge. Could try alligning maybe that will remove the error message.
