Both ink cartridges are XL's, however they are not identical. The black ink cartridge is longer horizontally (stick's out toward the printer cartridge door) further than the color ink cartridge. I don't know why I'm getting these messages and why the printer won't print when it did print on Monday after changing the color cartridge. I have removed both the color and black cartridges, made sure the contact point with the printer is clean, made sure that both cartridges have ink in them and that they are placed in the correct locations (black cartridge on the right and color cartridge on the left).

I had kept the black ink cartridge in (a 74XL) because it still has plenty of black ink in it. Tuesday, 4/17/12, I started working on my laptop and when I tried to print the printer's little screen says "Incompatible Ink Cartridge(s) and the monitor of my laptop says "The following cartridge has a problem: Black Ink Cartridge".

I shut off my HP Pavilion Laptop and printer on Monday evening. I changed my color ink cartridge (a 75XL) on Monday, 4/16/12, and everything printed fine on Monday. To everyone else ty for the info and wrote: I will NEVER buy another HP printer.EVER!! I will buy any other brand else before i buy HP, even if it cost 3 times as much, it will be worth not having the headache. Note to HP: I have bought at least 3 HP printers in the past 5 years, i barely print anything and ink usually lasts me years. Then i found another thing i wanted to print, the printer grabbed more than one paper(as it does almost all the time), Printed displayed the "paper jam" notice, i fixed the jam and now the" incompatable." error is back again. My situation differs slightly from the others.ġ) i have remanufactured cartridges ( that i have used in this printer in the past, with no problems) and in most cases the steps posted in this thread worked.Ģ)My message error message switches between "incompatable." To "installed incorrectly or missing"ģ)On my model the "ok" button is the one i use to select the catagory (as mentioned in this thread)Ĥ) The Steps worked once and i was able to print the article i was trying to print. I have also tried a great number of solutions posted in this thread and others, with no luck.
