Exact questions

Questions that only have an answer for the HP printers (OfficeJet Pro, ENVY, DeskJet, LaserJet Pro and Smart Tank)

My HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e cartridge suddenly stopped working.+

On an HP+ ('e') printer this is often the Instant Ink subscription — if the ink plan lapses, is cancelled, or the printer loses internet, the subscription cartridges are disabled until you resolve it or switch to purchased HP cartridges. Also, HP+ printers reject non-HP (third-party) cartridges entirely. Check your HP account/Instant Ink status, keep the printer online, and use genuine HP ink. If it is a genuine, active cartridge, reseat it and clean the contacts.
