Hp DeskJet F2290

Hello, I encountered an issue today with my HP DeskJet F2290 printer..
Here is the error message: Incident on one or more cartridges and both the "color" and "black" lights are flashing red.

So here is a procedure provided by HP support to reset the printer:

- Unplug the power cord from the printer,
- Press and hold the "POWER" or "ON" button for ten seconds.
- Plug the cable back in, and release the button.

This way, you will reset the printer.. Very useful especially if you are recharging your cartridges..
Because HP uses a chip that complicates things a bit ;) to prevent you from saving money and to ensure you buy only genuine HP products..

Here is a second procedure, this time to clear the print cache of the printer.

Note this operation will clear your printer's memory (pending jobs, etc...)
- Unplug the power cord from the printer.
- Press and hold the *Cancel* and *Color Copy* buttons simultaneously.
- Now plug the power cord back in while still holding the buttons from the previous step.
- You can then release the buttons
- You can turn on your printer

I hope this will be useful to you.. Don't hesitate to do as I did, if you encounter any problem and find a solution, think of the time you are wasting and help save time for users in this community.. Best regards ;)
