HP Printer Won’t Print With Non-HP Cartridge [Solved]

HP recommends that users only install genuine HP cartridges in their printers and use only these cartridges for printing. HP doesn’t guarantee that non-HP cartridges will function even though you can use them. Furthermore, using such cartridges might void your printer’s warranty.

If you choose to use a non-HP cartridge and your HP printer won’t print with it, then it means that such a cartridge might not be compatible with your printer. Therefore, you need to use another cartridge from a different manufacturer and then confirm if your printer works with the replacement.

If your HP printer won’t print with a non-HP cartridge after a firmware update, you have to downgrade to the previous firmware to use the cartridge.

Step 1: Ensure that your HP printer is working properly.

Step 2: Go to the “HP Update Settings” window and then disable or turn off the option for “Automatically Update Check.”

Step 5: Click on “Yes.”

Step 6: Confirm if your HP printer and computer are connected via a USB cable.

Step 7: Check the internet or the HP Software and Drivers Download page for a download link of your previous firmware version.

Step 8: Download the firmware software.

Step 9: Once the download is complete, open the firmware file.

Step 10: Allow the firmware software to find your HP printer.

Step 11: Once your printer is found, the name of your HP printer will be displayed on the title bar of the software window.

Step 12: Select your HP printer from the list.

Step 13: Click on the button labeled “Update.”

The downgrade process will begin.

Step 14: Ensure that you don’t turn off your printer or computer during this period.

Step 15: Once the process is complete, a message will be displayed notifying you that your printer has been successfully updated. Click on “OK”; this action will close the message notification.

Step 16: The firmware version will be displayed next to your HP printer. You can now click on the “Exit” button; this will close the window for the firmware version.

You should be able to print with the non-HP cartridge after doing the steps above.
