I found out that HP sends devices in their updates to mess up your printing of material on their HP printers if you use A ink fill place other than their own such as Rapid Refill. I am an educator and it is important that I reduce my costs to exist. Reducing the price of the cartridges helps me to do so. HP sells their printers cheap so that they can make their profit off cartridges. I consider this invasion of privacy as well as unethical behavior of HP. Can we say "greed".

@888925AA You're right.

To anyone who's still having trouble with their HP printer ink cartridge compatibility (Officejet 4500 for me specifically), it's because of this. I refilled my black ink earlier and the printer did not recognize it; it pisses me off to admit this, but the only way to solve this problem is to by a new HP ink cartridge. I guess that's why HP is on top...

Thanks, cleaning the contacts fixed my problem on an HP Photosmart C4480, which seems to have a very similar (if not identical) print mechanism.

Amazing how simple it can be to communicate with people and have them understand a certain video, you made my day.

Didn't work for me as the message keeps coming back and I am very disappointed in HP.

How to fix an incompatible print cartridge message?

Go and buy a new Epson printer is my recommendation. Never HP again!

Thank you for your video instructions. You are a genius!! I cleaned the cartridges as you instructed and the error message went away (yeah!) and I was able to use my printer again!

[Asome1236]

it didnt help at all it keeps telling me on the screen "Remove and Check black cartridge" even though i bought it and its new and it worked for a few weeks and suddenly it stopped and it has nothing wrong with it, every time i open the printer it keeps saying the error and it wont go, i tried everything ;l

[AishahSofea96]

This guy must have some patience...

[CharlieLefaux]

This is ridiculous. How can HP build a printer that has idiotic problems like this? Any faith or brand loyalty I had is now 0.

[spicysix]

HP printer has so many stupid cartridge problem, I'm dumping my 4680 and going with a canon.

[SoFnReal]

[salvadorlabra]

@SoFnReal LMAO! That just totally made my day. xD

[AaRonPhoenix6]

ya i did all of that it never work

what should i do?

i dont know which cartridge is damage

i clean both and it still didnt work.

wut should i do now? should i buy another one?

[starbase247]

@AaRonPhoenix6 I used to service HP plotters. It sounds like the contact ribbon (on the printer side) has failed. It's a common problem--lower end printers this part is not designed to be replaced, and is not available for purchase.
