HP 2610 All in One: Remove and Check Color Cartridge Error

[Len Robbins]

Does anyone know of a fix for the HP 2610 All in One that just started
getting the following error message: Remove aand Check Color Cartridge?

Replacing the color cartridge with new ones did not fix the problem.

No luck finding a solution with a web search and forget about getting an
answer from HP's site.

Thanks A Lot,
Len

I don't have a 2610, but I do have a 2110. Assuming it's similar, the
only thing I can think of is to try cleaning the electrical contacts in
the printer carriage. Distilled water is best, as I have heard there are
oils on these contacts designed to protect them from corrosion, and
solvents will remove them. (This after I used some alcohol on my own
printer. I was lucky - no ill effects apparent yet.) If the water
doesn't work, you might try a little light work with a pencil eraser,
emphasis on LIGHT. If that doesn't work you could try isopropyl alcohol
as a last resort.

Other than that, it may be time for a new printer.

The Fix For Hp Psc 2510 And Other Similar...

Good luck finding the Fix anywhere, even on HP's website...

THE FIX: I have a HP PSC2510, similar to all the other PCSs out there, and i was getting 'all-of-a-sudden' this message: 'ERROR-Remove and check color cartridge'. AND i did everything imaginable to fix except spend money.

Turns out that the 'color' cartridge was not really the whole issue. it turns out that HP hard-coded in an expiration date on my inks! uh, yaay HP... That's right, at exactly 4 years from the date on the cartridges everything stops printing period, end of story.

The reason my replacement of the 'color' cartridge did not work was because the same 'color' error keeps coming up until i replaced the old dated 'black' ink TOO. uh, yaay HP...

Boogles the mind, but you will keep getting 'color' errors until you replace all inks to be newer than 4 years from date on cartridges.

HP even made some Driver Patches to fix this expiration crap when everyone was complaining about their plans for world-domination, but has since gone back to the tactics of forcing you to buy new inks.

So, Check your dates, use them or lose them HP consumers! =)
