Hi, Before getting rid of the printer, if you are sure it's dead , try mechanically cleaning the printhead (never use it on a device that have warranty or can be fixed on other options ) . when you clean it do not use hot water or solvents, this might damage the printhead, ofc it wold kill your warranty. A cloged print head could be the source for the failure.
When dealing with HP , One should only use original ink (I think they even had expiration date on them). New HP printers would outright block non genuine ink (I think since 2021 ) . p.s. 1. Please , no matter which printer you buy , only use Offline printers , and never connect them to the internet if you would like you printer to avoid useless firmware updates like https://kevin.deldycke.com/2020/11/revert-hp-printer-ban-on-third-party-ink-cartridges/ The best option I found so far was to connect HP printers to rpi , that way you always have a network printer (via cups) but you are safe from automatic upgrades and security holes. 2. https://www.techpowerup.com/237048/been-there-done-that-hp-new-firmware-update-locks-non-original-ink-cartridges On Sunday, 24 December 2023 1:16:51 IST Shlomo Solomon wrote: > Original ink which costs more than the printer (!!!) is not an option. > On my existing HP 8610, I used compatible ink for 8 years, so .... > > > On Sun, 24 Dec 2023 01:11:22 +0200 > אורי <u...@speedy.net> wrote: > > > If you use HP printer I strongly recommend using HP original ink, > > which is more expensive but it's the only ink they officially support. > > > > אורי > > u...@speedy.net > > > > > > On Sun, Dec 24, 2023 at 12:23 AM Shlomo Solomon > > <shlomo.solo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > My existing HP printer (8610) died after 8 years - does not > > > recognize the Magenta ink. > > > > > > I'm looking at the HP OfficeJet Pro 8023 > > > > > > 2 questions: > > > > > > 1 - Has anyone had good (or bad) experience with this on Linux?
