To think that inkjet cartridges purchased with a new printer should work

[Vickibee]

They do not, infact a message popping up saying ink is empty and would we like to buy online from HP supplies? I realise that you don't get much toner included but to be totally empty? Shame on you Hewlett Packard.

at least the damn thing is talking to you. My wifi printer persists in hiding from all the computers in the house.

My DH is back at PC world this minute trying to get it swapped. What a whole load of inconvenience

Have you pulled off the plastic strips on each ink cartridge?

yes done all that. The PC has a bar chart shoeing the ink levels and they are empty. Should we give up and buy one?

So annoying OP. They've probably dried up. we now use Stinky ink online to buy our h.p cartridges. Have a look on there before buying from shops. very quick delivery too.

thanks Eileen wii take a look
