Buy the set with the chip fitted

HP’s firmware can block cartridges with a non-HP chip. Buy the set with the chip fitted and turn off automatic firmware updates before you fit it: Menu → Utilities → Settings → Firmware Update → Next → “Do Not Check”. After that it prints normally.

Toner is not in the box

Our refurbished 3301 printers ship without toner and without a power cord, which keeps the printer at $299.99.
