A few months ago, I purchased three HP 14 c5010a tri-color ink
cartridges and three black c5011a ink cartridges and placed them all in
service in an HP d145 officejet all-in-one printer on the same day
(rotating them in sequence).
Leaving just one of the HP14 black and tri-color cartridges in place,
I've been printing ever since (ever so sporadically as I prefer my B&W
HP laser printer).
Tonight, Christmas Eve, when trying to print the kid's cards for their
presents, I get the warning from the Hewlett Packard d145 printer:
"Color ink out. Replace color ink cartridge. Press Enter to continue."
Not to worry. I put the second color ink cartridge (never used except
that first day a few months ago). Guess what? Same message. Huh? How
can that be?
So, I put the third color ink cartridge in the HP d145 office jet.
Again. The same thing. Color ink out. Even though the ink was used a
few months ago for a single sheet of paper and the tape put back over
the holes and it was sealed in a baggie the whole time.
What is going on?
Can anyone explain this madness?
