Thank you for contacting FixYa with your printer inquiry.
This error is normally associated with a supplies error. I have extracted information on this error from the HP 6L manual.

Error Codes
Error 10 - Supplies Memory Error 10.XX.YY Exact format is dependent on printer model

The printer is unable to read the electronic information (elabel) on the print cartridge. This helps track page count and life of consumable.
XX Description 00 memory error on the cartridge or 01 memory device not found
10.00.00 Black print cartridge
10.00.01 Cyan print cartridge
10.00.02 Magenta print cartridge
10.00.03 Yellow print cartridge

1. Supplies used in newer printer models contain a memory chip. The information contained on this chip is dependent on the printer model and the supply. The error 10 indicates a problem with the printer obtaining the information from this chip. The chip may be missing or defective or contain incorrect information. There may be a problem with connection between the memory chip and DC controller. Turn the printer off/on to attempt to clear or reset the message. Remove and reinstall the supply, replace the supply.
2. Replace the memory chip cable/connector or the DC controller.

Please try this solution first, it might resolve your faxing transaction by resolving first the u163 error.

What happened when ink ran out from a refilled cartridge and the printer detected it?
The printer will display an error U162 or U163. All functions of the all-in-one printer will stop and your printer will not work. The next thing you will know is you are in the front of a computer shop and buy a genuine canon cartridge.
But wait, there is still a way to fix this. Reset it again using a different procedure. Reset the detections of reusable cartridge.
1. Turn off your printer an turn it on again
2. After the printer initialize try to copy or print. The error will appear.
3. When the error is displayed on the display panel of the printer, Press and Hold the STOP/RESET button and wait until it self restart.
4. Release the STOP/RESET button the the printer is restarting.
5. Wait for a few seconds and the pending print jobs will commence.

replace the black one with an other cartridge

Hi there remove the cartrideg & reset the printer first. After that off the printer. Now fix the cartridge in printer. Turn on again. If you face same problem then reset again with cartridge, give a test print from print preferrence. I hope your problem will solve then. Thanks & waiting for your feedback.

Ok well Rmfrg cartriges tend to have that problem . And no there is no way to reset the cartridge it has something to do with the print head electronics.

Have had much experience with HP AIO models and would try to double check the contacts on the cartridge carriage.. sometimes a q-tip swap dipped in alcohol gently over the contacts will fix this - also note the dates on the ink cartridges (even the new ones) If the dates are previous to the date showing on the machine, this will give this error, but can be worked around by clearing the memory with a factory or full (hard) reset that sets everything back to zero dates. THis usually involves holding down certain button combos while plugging the machine in... Try a search for reset codes on HP site or google with model number and "reset code" to find the proper button combo.
