Instead here is a link to a site with a wealth of info and instructions about various HP printers. I searched for a service manual for your printer but found none. My success rate for refill is below 50% though. I have no experience with HP 61 cartridges, but I have refilled the very similar HP 60 or HP300 in Europe, the also similar 56, 57, 21, 22 and more. You will have to accept error messages and nag screens, but you can ignore these and print.

You can refill the cartridges if they are still electrically OK and have not been clogged. If the cartridge has become defective no reset of the printer's EEPROM data will change that fact. Open and short circuits seem to develop in the cartridge electronics, especially if the cartridge has been totally emptied. This family of cartridges seem to be fragile, and only last for a limited number of refills. I guess the cartridges are named HP122/HP122XL in your country? I checked your printer model and it uses the cartridges HP61/HP61XL in the US or HP301/HP301XL in Europe. Is that error a time bomb after repeated 'carriage jams' (a suspicious behavior)? Did I properly perform the Reflash? The hp could not break down in the hours it was not being used. The error remains even if I put old cartridges that had NEVER shown THAT error before!. I tried all forms of regional reset and reflash: press buttons 2+3 and On (Shows 'reflash 12345' and there it stays), unplug, press Ok+Cancel+On and reset the language and country (I chose Latin America, cartridges purchased in Argentina) keep pressed Cancel while plugging in between the mentioned steps.Īll of these were performed obeying the plug - unplug sequences as shown in other posts, and without connecting the USB.

I cleaned the cartridge AND carriage contacts. Printed Ok 6 sheets, turned it off, turned it on 2 days after and now always shows 'incompatible tri color cartridge'. Tired of not being able to avoid the 'carriage jam' I had it reinstalled where I bought it, with new cartridges. As the Black 122 did not last enough after refills, I installed a continuous system myself.
