Method 2: Make sure your printer has ink and paper
Sometimes an empty ink or toner cartridge can prompt an error message. Also, make sure that your printer is clear of all paper jams and is stocked with an ample supply of printer paper.

Method 3: Restart your printer
Use the power button to shut down your Brother printer.
Unplug the printer from the wall outlet.
Count to ten and plug it back in.
Restart your printer.
If this method doesn’t work, try it a second time, restarting both your computer as well as your Brother printer.

Computers / Re: 9 Easy Steps How To Bypass Hp Printer Cartridge Error by petergroft: 8:42am On Dec 23, 2022
HP defective ink cartridge
The errors “Cartridge problem. Remove and reinstall” or “Depleted Ink Cartridge” may happen because of the dirt accumulated during the exploitation period.

To override HP ink cartridge error, remove and reinstall the indicated cartridge 2-3 times until it firmly seats in the slot. Then turn off the printer and remove all cartridges.

Gently, with a dry lint-free cloth, wipe the contacts on the cartridge and carriage to remove any dirt or residue. Replace the cartridge and make sure it clicks securely into the designated slot. The printer is ready to work!

If this didn’t help, the error might be caused by the recent update. Please feel free to contact our Customer Care Team so that they guide you through the whole process and help you get back to regular printing.

Missing or damaged cartridges error
Other popular HP printer errors are “Cartridge Problem. One or more cartridges may be missing or damaged” and “Ink Cartridge Failure. Print cartridge(s) missing or not detected”.

When you see this HP ink cartridge failure message, turn off the printer and inspect the internal side of the carriage for visible damage to the contact pins.
If one (or more) of the contact pins is slightly bent, repair it with the tool until the pin is easily connected to the cartridge chip. Wipe the contacts with a damp lint-free cloth and get back to work.

Finally, if your printer is reporting errors across the whole set, visit the official HP website and choose Support > Software and Drivers > Printers. Then select your printer model. When the download page appears, choose “Firmware” and download the latest one. When the installation is completed, the cartridges should be recognized by the printer.

This May Help,
Peter
