Well, I'm trying to help my mom out and help her with her HP 1610 Combo printer/scanner/copier. She's only had the darn thing a year or to and has replaced both the color and black (94 & 95) ink cartridges. Well, the darn thing is showing an error message on the LCD screen "Cartridge Error, Color Cartridge inserted now is not intended for use in this printer." Well, it is cartridge #95 which shows to be the correct one according to most of the ink sites???? Is there anything I can try or do? I've already pulled both out and cleaned the contacts etc...
Thanks much,
Robert
Same thing happened to me and when I called hp, they just tried to sell me another printer ! I also think they friend my ink ! How professional !
Hp99 does not work for hp psc1610 printer states that hp 99 cartridge is not intended for this printer. I am confused. it states on hp.com that hp99 is the photo ink cartridge. now the ink is stuck and can't come out. help
I don't know who checks these messages, but I have the exact same problem, also with my mom's printer. it is no longer under warranty so HP wants to charge me thirty dollars for them to tell me how to fix it over the phone. no thanks.

I have exactly the same problem trying to use the HP#99 Cartridge which says right on the side of the box that it is suitable for use in the 1610.
In fact, the HP#99 I used before actually worked in the printer.
I had this same printer and had the same problem with the color cartridge i called them and the said it was the wrong one for my country i needed one for USA they also said it was they would send me a new one at no cost and it worked for 2 weeks and the same thing happened called them again and told them that i noticed the wires in the ribbon on the cartage looked burnt and they said it was a printer problem and mine was out of warranty one day before and they couldn't do anything for me. so I think that some of these printers are frying the color cartridge just my opinion
