Printer Ink

Bought a generic ink, from Amazon, for my HP printer. Doesn't work.
It's supposed to, fits and that. You're not supposed to enter a code or something with a non-HP ink, are you?

Sam Bought a single ink from a supplier some time ago and it wouldn't work in my Epson printer. Tried replacing all 4 inks from that supplier and it worked. Can only assume that the printer didn't like a "mixed batch" of inks - maybe yours is the same ?? FBG40

Update for 'all' those interested.
Because I am indeed a tightwad but fortunately also a genius, I went to Boots, told them I was a heroin addict*, and got a syringe.
Syringed the ink out of the new cartridge into the old, working one, and voila.
Thought you'd be interested.
*made that bit up. they sell them for 35p.

Strange that. I have used Sainsbury own brand 4 pack of 364 and also ASDA's. Always printed out OK after the warnings were clicked off.I used a printer shop once who refilled my cartridges and the ink quality was carp.
They had a sign on the wall telling us how to stop the warning pop ups( on various makes/models of printer) but I never bothered to write the advice down. Shop has closed now. :-(

Further update. Doesn't work. ;-(
Message came up, something like, 'previously empty HP cartridge detected' and the paper's coming out whiter than when it went in.
If I wasn't such a coward I could cut one of my fingers off and jam it in the machine. There's enough ink on them to keep it running for a while.
