First, download the software at http://www.box.net/shared/4yblbn34kg

Secondly, to run the software your printer has to be in service mode. Do that by
- unplug cable
- press and hold "power" button
- plug cable
- press "resume" and release
- release the "power" button
At this stage, your computer will detect a new hardware

Run the software.

oke

Color Cartridge light is blinking.Cartridge is about one week old.Black one is working fine.

You need to say which printer. If it's just blinking on the printer you can ignore it. Did you recently print some photos or something that would have drained one of the colours down quickly? Many of us refill our cartridges, but the manufacturers don't recognize that so the printer keeps flashing the "ink low" message because it counts pages rather than actually measuring the amount of ink in the cartridge.

Ink cartridge problem?

Try to re-seat the ink cartridge.

  1. Press your printer's button to position the ink heads for replacement
  2. Then gently pull out the problematic ink cartridge.
  3. Turn the printer OFF to reset the printer's memory.
  4. After about 3 minutes, turn ON your printer and it should now ask for the missing ink cartridge.
  5. Now gently put on the problematic ink cartridge in place.
  6. Let the printer re-charge the inks and clean the ink heads afterward through the printer's maintenance program installed in your computer. (Go to "Printer's and Faxes, right click on your installed printer, then click "Printer's Preferences. Go to the "maintenance tab" and click on something like Print Head Cleaning.)
Just give it a try.

Refill cartridges

This is normal.
Printer will warn the ink is getting low. almost empty very nearly empty....

then (in effect) it says if you want to use refilled cartridges you can but it may void printer warranty. Press yellow flashing button for 5 seconds to "release ink detection" (summat like that).

Printer will continue to print but shows the cartridge as empty. Its your responsibility to make sure you do not run out.

It does this separately for each colour - tedious for the pro9000 with 8 colours

How do I reset the ink levels?

We have an issue of missing or replace yellow cartridge. Please feel free to contact the HP support for replacement of the printer, if the printer is in warranty status. HP would replace the printer.
