You need to tell us the model of the printer you are having trouble with. One thing common to all deskjets when they reject print cartrdiges is to make sure the contacts in the back of the holder which make contact with cartridge contacts are clean and free of any dirt. Turn the printer off and with a damp lint free cloth dampened in plain water, clean the contacts usually on a metal copper colored strip in the carriage assembly with the cartrdige removed. Let it dry and then put in the new cartrdige and see if it works. If it does fine and if not, report back with you model number so maybe someone familiar with your printer can give some further advice.

Thanks, but cleaning the heads did not help. The printer is an HP Business Inkjet 2200.
Thanks for your help,
Norm
