When replacing ink cartridges in you Hewlett Packard printer, occasionally the original or remanufactured HP 62/62XL ink cartridge will not be recognised. Whilst this can normally be resolved with some simple troubleshooting (like that found here), it can be difficult to determine which cartridge your printer has a problem with.
What does each symbol mean?
With the 62 series of ink cartridges, Hewlett Packard indicate whether it is the black or colour cartridge with a small symbol found under the “The Following Ink Cartridge must be replaced” message. From the hourglass or oval symbol alone it is not always particularly obvious which cartridge needs changing, especially with compatible or refilled cartridges that no longer have the original label.
