Incompatible cartridge issue C4480

Same problem on my side: impossible to print in B/W because the color cartridge is empty! On the phone, HP asked for €20 to help me. I told them I wouldn’t promote them.
I had 2 other problems previously: a new color cartridge that was expired and refused, I had to buy a new one, then a recent B/W cart suddenly became "incompatible".
I suppose this all comes from "planned obsolescence": once the warranty date of the cartridge is up, the software refuses its installation or says it’s incompatible. Hats off to HP! They've found a way to always make us buy more.
I no longer buy cartridges in advance, which is a disadvantage. To buy one, I go around the stores to find a box with the latest warranty date. Not very practical, but it somewhat circumvents the trap set by HP.
Does anyone know how to disable this software feature of planned obsolescence?

Hello, maybe a silly question, but are the cartridges original or not?
And is your printer old or not?

Hello Stargate 43!!!

My printer is 3 years old and I just replaced the cartridges; everything worked fine for a month and then suddenly nothing.

Thank you for your help.

Well, I guess it's out of warranty then? No warranty extension?
And the cartridges, HP brand or not???

Yes, out of warranty, that's for sure, and the cartridges, yes, I bought them in a specialized store, but they worked properly for at least a month without any issues.

reinstall the software and its drivers

I'm trying right away.

I don't think it's coming from the software or the driver, but indeed, why not try. So if I understand your answer correctly, Naye, the cartridges are not HP but generic. If that's the case, it's a risk, and the seller, whether specialized or not, is not going to tell you to only use original cartridges; he really doesn't care if your printer breaks down afterwards. He sold it, and the rest is not his problem.

In fact, when I try to reinstall, it tells me that the operating system of this computer is not supported, as if the operating system were not compatible, even though everything was working. I don’t understand, and regarding the cartridges, they are HP; I bought them in a specialized store, and considering the prices!!!!

So there may be a small update to perform, if that's the case, you should find it on the HP website, or maybe you will find it on this very site.

You can still find something here, but you need to specify your operating system:

Operating system Windows 7 I'm on the HP site I'm taking a look I'm going to check this link thanks

Ok, no worries and no problem, I hope it works out.
Good luck.
PS: I'm putting the topic "to be continued" to have updates later on.

The HP website is too complex, my God, I'm having a hard time navigating.

Hello, even with the link I sent you?
