Ink - expiration dates

[Suz]

Hi there, I've got an HP L25500...

Hopefully someone can advise me on this.

I have a CYAN ink cartridge in the machine that is fairly full, about 3/4, and getting message on my machine the ink cartridge is expired, which it is. I selected the option to use it anyway, even though it is expired. But cannot get the machine to print.
Any clue what's wrong? Anybody experience this?

I have a message in the LCD window on machine "C Cartridge has expired"

Good News - got it working again. Just turned everything off and reset, all goo now! So using the override worked on this cartridge. Yay!

Even though I don't own an HP thank you for posting the solution.

Just hate when people ask for help then disappear from the thread they created.

Keep an eye on those EXP dates when you get inks in. We got a set in for our mamaki and half were expired when we got them. I didnt even know to look until i plugged them in and got the same type of error you had.

Yeah at least the Bypass works on these larger machines... on their little printers they will not print until you change the cartridge.

Be wary of expiry dates as they will void your printhead if it's still in warranty.

yeah, but...

since print heads are cheaper than inks (besides the 2 heads to 1 ink cart. factor)...I don't think I'd worry about using up close to $150 worth of ink, because a $110 head "might" be compromised...

Good point, I don't order the inks or anything here so not sure on pricing, I just print. I'll keep that in mind though. All my printheads are expired though since they have used more than the allocated amount of ink and still look great.
