L25500 Faulty Ink Cartridge

[Kelcy Deeds]

Hey guys,

Do any of you guys know of any way to bypass the printing telling me "Replace Faulty Ink Cartridge"?

First of all, I live in Central America and there is no HP support here so shipping something ASAP is out of the question. The printer has been printing great, i just ran out of ink and put in a new ink cartridge and then it told me that it was faulty. Any help is much appreciated!

Two things to try: Clean contacts in carriage where printheads are inserted. If still getting error, swap positions of two cartridges of same color to verify if cartridge is bad or something is wrong elsewhere in ink delivery system.

Try resetting EEROM from service menu. I think I saw something like that on Sam Ink website.

You can download the service manual- it's about 792 pages, and maybe 32 meg.

This worked for me a couple of years ago. I remember enter the service menu was a bit of a pain when HP tech walked me through, but then a year later I used the manual and as I remember it was pretty straight forward.
