I just solved a big problem I had with my HP 1610.
It was disconnecting when I sent a print job. For no reason. And it claimed my cartridges were empty even though they were perfectly full (planned obsolescence?).
So try a hard reset:
- Unplug the printer.
- Press and hold the "cancel" button and the "OK" button
- Plug the printer back in while holding these two buttons until "initializing" appears on the screen.
