the HP All-in-One and plugged into a power outlet. Press the On button to turn on the HP All-in-One.

Cause: The HP All-in-One is not connected to the computer.

Print cartridge messages

The following is a list of print cartridge error messages:

Low on ink

Need alignment or alignment failed

Print cartridge is missing, incorrectly installed, or not intended for your device

Printing in ink-backup mode

Print cartridge is faulty or not installed properly

Low on ink

Cause: One or both print cartridges might be out of ink.

Solution: Check the estimated ink levels remaining in the print cartridges. If the print cartridges are low or out of ink, you might need to replace the print cartridges.

NOTE: The HP All-in-One can only detect the ink levels for genuine HP ink. The ink levels in print cartridges that are refilled or have been used in other devices, might not register accurately.

If there is ink remaining in the print cartridges, but you are still noticing a problem, print a self-test report to determine if there is a problem with the print cartridges. If the self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges. If the problem persists, you might need to replace the print cartridges.
