2022 and I just got two of these printers in garage sales. I will probably use parallel cartridges with permanent chips but it's nice to see I can use expired cartridges as well. Thanks for the info!
That's correct, I was able to clear the ink cartridge error on my old HP Photosmart printer by simply cleaning off the receptor chipsets on the cartridges and on the printer. However, as I state in the video, this only works 25 - 30% of the time. In addition, this only seems to work with older HP brand printers. There is also reasoning behind why this works. HP has been notorious for doing everything in their power to force users to purchase more ink than should ever be needed at a prices more expensive than gold in terms of volume. In fact, they've been sued MANY times for this over the past decade and have paid out tens of millions of dollars in claims during that time due to their scams to forcefully sell their customers printer ink for insanely high prices. Here are just a few examples of those lawsuits: - topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-products/electronics/hp-instant-ink-renders-printers-entirely-worthless-claims-class-action-lawsuit/ - www.classlawgroup.com/hp-ink-cartridge-lawsuit - www.forthepeople.com/practice-areas/class-action-lawyers/HP-printer-ink-cartr-class-action/ In my experience, many of their printers chipsets are simply poorly manufactured from low-quality resources, causing them to give inaccurate readings. That's why just cleaning off the connections between the printers and printer ink cartridges sometimes works to fix these errors, especially when there is still plenty of ink left in the cartridge that's throwing the ink failure error. Anyways, I have better things to do with my time than make up lies about fixing printer cartridge errors. 😂🤣
@@747Firm I thought I replace this printer with Canon PIXMA MG3620, bought it. While it was in process of Amazon delivery I found "Fixit" solution for HP Error. I cleared this error by re-setting printer: took off right cover pulled 2 white ribbons on the top while printer was off, turned it on pressed Ok button when it shown Ink System failure, waited till print head stop moving, turned printer off, inserted ribbons Back, Turned printer on, Error was gone. I printed several color images including 8.5x11 Photo on photo paper. And was happy for my success. Next day Canon PIXMA MG3620 came, I returned it back, then I tried to print more color images with HP D7260. And Oh shite! It started to print like zebra stripes, loosing some colors. I thought Ok cartridges were expired, I'll buy some of them. Replaced the cartridges. It didn't help, cleaned cartridge inserts nasals on printer with compressed air, it helped a bit, but not completely. I tried to reset printer again and "Ink System Failure" error came back. I ordered Brother MFC-J1010DW this time. It came next day. Installed software, connected to PC desktop, laptops and cell phones. And carried out the HP in garbage container with some satisfaction, I might add, since this was the end of my sufferings.

And after all that, as soon as you send to print, boom! 'ink system error". I have done tones to fixes for this model, no luck.
You wiped the ink failure error with cleaning solution. Right. Doesn't work

"errors" lol
Waste of time.
Yea, as I say in the video it only works about 25-30% of the time. Thankfully this process shouldn't take more than 5 - 10 minutes to complete.
