There are few things in this world I hate more than printers. Every printer of every brand that I have ever owned have been nothing but a source concentrated rage and frustration. Why haven't they figured out the design of printers after all these years? It must be deliberate.

just did a normal update to my printer and now that shit doesnt recognize my ink

I had to make this comment. My Epson XP-530 that I have operating for more than 7 years, just today had this issue with the ink cartridge. I followed step by step all the directions of the video and just before I lost hope, after cleaning the contacts, it worked! Thank you!

Very helpful. Thank you. Totally cleared up the issue I was having with my Bluetooth printer. Saved me a lot of time.Thanks again 😊

Thank you. It took me all morning to fix the wretched thing but, thanks to your advice, I was able to do so.

Thank you so much from UK after spending last 2 hours trying to get my Canon printer to recognise new cartridge, came across your vid and its WORKED 🤩🥰Thank you again

Almost a year later and this video saved my LIFE. I had tried for at least an hour to get my cartridges to read. I went with the removing cartridges, turning printer off, unplugging and walking away. While the cartridges were out I also cleaned off their chips and the contact points of the printers with alcohol and a microfiber cloth. Came back maybe 30 minutes later and cartridges were being recognized again --- well black and cyan had the exclamation point, the cyan was reading as OEM and the magenta still had the X but I used a chip resetter and re-installed and bingo it was recognized also.

Thank you. This did not work for mine. Glad you were available to help.

Thank you so much! Your guidance helped my Brother printer to accept the generic cartridges without a hitch. And my spouse was smitten by your very attractive self.

Third party cartridges aren't working simply because the printer company (an oriental company) has told its machines not to recognise them. The block comes down the line straight into your machine via Internet (what a useful device) It didn't before, yet they still made billions, but why now. They are following Adobe's lead with Photoshop, killing off the inspiration of those who cannot afford their costly software and by milking those who can't afford their $10,000 a gallon ink supplies. Suddenly this year these vast wealthy companies are sending those who can't afford their exorbitant prices, to the wall. Its a block to those on a budget, many inspired writers and artists who just can't afford their exorbitant prices. Its the death of inspiration!

Is it only the black one that doesn't work after replacement? Do the colors work after they have been replaced but just not the black?

Um...excuse me, but step 5? Plug it in but don't turn it on? How than do I install the new cartridges when the print head is not in position? Because the printer is not on 🤷🏽‍♂️

I suspect you've been using inkjet printers; I had one years ago, died once under warranty, they repaired it, & it worked for almost another month. GOODBYE inkjet printers. Since then, nothing but HP Laser Printers. Swap in a new toner cartridge, and you've also replaced most common wear parts of the printer. A dream come true.

Thanks! This helped me out.

Thank you for this video! At 3:23 the issue was immediately resolved ❤

Of your using generic brand. DO NOT do the updates.. now my printer is stuck and unusable until in out branded ink in it. Which I'm sure is there purpose for these updates.

worked great thanks

4:09 I cannot add new cartrige while my printer is turned off. I have to turn it on, and then add new cartrige.

thx

One thing I tried that worked: Turn off, take out all cartridges, turn on and replace them all desired cartridges (including the new one) when it's prompted.

I have restarted, removed and replaced the cartridges several times on my HP printer. When I try to print I get error code 04358A98 which completely locks up the machine then I have to unplug it. Then I get “Cartridges are not communicating with the printer “ I try to bypass it but it comes back.

We’ve sent a rover to mars. You would think we’d know how to make a printer that is easy to use.

my cartridges are only about 3 months old and my printer is only 3 months old but I only used them for the 1st couple weeks and havent used them for just over 2 months now it says black cartridge isnt installed correctly

We hadn't used our printer for a couple of years, no matter how long the ink dries up. I bought a $10 kit online. Make sure to carefully put all cartridges in a sealed plastic bag first! Directions show you how to put paper towels inside printer to catch water for each nozzle. You put clean water in a syringe, attach a tube to a nozzle & squirt water in. I ended up leaving a damp paper towel over the nozzles all night and closed the printer. Wipe the bottoms of the cartridges with warm water on a paper towel, then insert them back in and give it a try. Mine worked. Follow the directions on the box!

Finally, if all else fails throw it out and quit wasting money on it.

please add captured video to reset printer, especially HP 7410 all-in-one, talking is missleading, i think I followed it right. procedure might different on each printer.

i have a cannon and use official cannon ink. It just suddenly told me it cant print because it doesn't recognize the color ink cartridge. Printed just fine a week ago with the same cartridges installed

hI, i unpacked my WF-7210 PRINTER AND FOLLOWED THE instructions to insert the sublimation ink cartridges. But the printer is giving me an error that does not recognize the cartridge. What can I do please help me.

I had to turn mine off when the ink cartridge was in "replace ink" position. It still didn't work, b/c I think mine is giving me the error messages when the cartridges are nearly out of ink. I'm already shopping for a new one since this is the 2nd time it's happened.

I have an Epson Expression XP-7100 and I decided to try 3rd party cartridges (410XL). I installed the 3 colors with it and it doesn't tell me that the printer doesn't recognize them, however it simply won't print the ink at all. The only thing that shows up on a print test is black. Very frustrating. I tried running the printer ink head cleaning or whatever it's called and it didn't do anything. Anyone else was able to fix this issue with 3rd party cartridges???

My printer was working yesterday. The black just wasn't printing. So I cleaned the heads a few times. It was a fairly new cartridge so it has ink. Now I get a "can't detect the cartridge" error. I can't get to Home or maintenance. I've ordered a new epson cartridge. But does anyone think the printer might be dead? Epson NX430. I've had it for years, but has always worked great. I've always used OEM cartridges. But itbis sometimes days between when I use it. Cleaning has always fixed it.

My Epson printer constantly stops recognizing cartridges for no reason. Have had it stop recognizing brand new cartridges just after a few prints. The last time I barely printed anything, just did the head cleaning a few times and it stopped. Its been doing it for years, I can't remember the last time a cartridge actually got to being out of ink, happens with both OEM and 3rd party ink. Will never buy another Epson product again. I can't trust them.

wf 3820 when turned off returns the ink holder to the "stored" position which does not allow new cartridges to be added. Printer must be turned on to get new cartridges in.

If cleaning doesnt fix the problem just get a second set of cartridges, yeah right, do know how much that costs, I cant put out that much money for TWO sets of cartridges.
