How to refill an original hp deskjet 3050 cartridge. HP inkjet cartridge is dry: restoring operation and refilling the cartridge
/ / . You can extend the life of the cartridges: black hp 122 can withstand up to eight refills, and color – about five.
Don't miss the moment. The nozzle plate of the print head heats up during operation, and the ink cools it. When the refill runs out, there is not enough coolant and the nozzles quickly become clogged with overheated ink. Sometimes such a cartridge cannot be restored in any way and can only be thrown away. If white stripes appear or the printing is simply fuzzy - stop working and don’t put off refilling.
The situation is quite likely: the ink has run out, and you urgently need to print more than one page. And the workshop where they can help is located on the other side of the city. You can deal with this problem yourself if you know exactly how to refill an hp 122 cartridge.
Preparation
HP OCP Ink - (Click to Enlarge)
Take care in advance of purchasing suitable ink (the label must have hp 122); it is better not to buy universal ones. If the paint is packaged in bottles, you will have to run to the pharmacy for regular medical syringes.
Important: Even a full cartridge can dry out if it has not been used for a long time. To prevent this problem, print one or two pages every week.
It is necessary to prepare the workplace: remove all important papers and cover the table with newspaper. To refill, take ink, four syringes, toilet or other soft paper, and put on rubber gloves. A black cartridge can hold up to 10 ml of ink, a color cartridge can hold a maximum of 3 ml. You need to fill the syringes very carefully so that there is no air or foam. It’s more convenient to prepare all four at once. You can use one, but rinse it with distilled water and be sure to dry it before using it again.
To clear the refill holes, peel off the labels. The pictures below indicate where to add ink.

note that There are two types of color cartridge. This means that before refueling you need to determine which option is in your hands. There are several ways to find out. Press the print head against the toilet paper: the middle print is from the ink poured into the top chamber. You can just look into the filling hole. Or dip the tip of a needle there and see what color it turns.
Now you need to wipe the nozzles with flushing liquid or distilled water and you can start refueling.
Refueling
For a color cartridge, the order is strict:
- yellow;
- red;
- blue.
Lower the needle into the desired hole 2–3 cm and inject ink. You need to act slowly, ideally 15 seconds per 1 ml. And watch carefully when ink begins to appear in the filling hole. After all, ink in a color cartridge is not consumed equally and it is impossible to know how much will be needed for a full refill. If you accidentally overfilled it, you can pull the syringe plunger back and take some of the paint back. We do the same with red and blue.

Refilling the black HP 122 cartridge has some features. The picture in red shows the place where the additional chamber is located, which also needs to be filled with ink. To do this, you will need to pierce the cleaning filter with a needle. This doesn’t sound very good, but it’s the lesser of two evils; otherwise, when refilling, the filter does not allow ink to pass through and air accumulates in the additional chamber. Which, in turn, leads to printing problems.
If you press too hard while piercing the filter and allow the needle to go deeper than shown, you may damage the print head. This will not happen if you point the syringe at a 45 degree angle.
Returning cartridges to the printer
Refilling is complete, all that remains is to wipe the cartridge with soft paper and return the stickers to their place. Some experts recommend not removing the stickers when refueling, but simply piercing them and not sealing them. This is motivated by the fact that a vacuum is created inside, which reduces the service life.
Before installing cartridges into the printer, wipe the contacts with alcohol or a regular eraser. Even if the paint didn’t get there, it won’t hurt.
The video below will show how you can make a reinforced one from a standard black HP 122 cartridge and refill it. The video is in Portuguese, but I hope everything will be clear.
Have fun typing.
Hi all!)
Today I spent the whole day trying to revive my printer, so an angry review came naturally in the evening))
I bought this miracle of technology at the same time as a laptop, about 3 years ago, but if the laptop serves me faithfully and always makes me happy, then this useless coffin has already frayed all my nerves.
The salesman in the store, by the way, did not advise us to take this model, and tried to sell some unattractive Canon. But like a real blonde, I fell for the color - the laptop is brown, and this crap is also brown, they will look so cute together ^_^
Of course, I need to make allowance for the fact that I had never bought such things before and had no idea what I needed to pay attention to. Well, in general, we took it after all. In addition to the color, I was also captivated by the design, a well-known company and the inexpensive price (I don’t remember exactly, but something around 2000 - 2400 rubles).
The kit included one color and one black and white cartridge, an installation disk, and a cord for a PC, although work via Wi-Fi is also supported. The printer was packed in a standard cardboard box, plus a branded black textile bag over the shoulder (I just don’t know who will carry an MFP with them, but it’s nice for free))
At first, of course, I was delighted with it, the photos were printed - the quality was excellent, the texts were also perfect. But... the cartridges quickly ran out and the fun ended. One black and white cartridge costs 400-500 rubles, a color one costs 200 rubles more. In my opinion, the prices are simply extortionate for consumables; a couple of cartridges will cost almost as much as a new printer(((
What to do, we bought a brand new black cartridge in the store for 500 rubles. The cartridge resource is stated as 100 pages, but in reality it is enough for about 60 - 70. If you consider that I am a student, and I have one term paper for 40 pages, and an abstract for 15 - 20, then you can understand that it turned out to be very expensive. There was no question of buying a color cartridge ((
When it also ran out, I went to a cartridge refilling company, where enterprising young people quickly refilled a black and white cartridge for me for 150 rubles. I was glad, but again I was not happy for long, since a cartridge of pages was enough for 20... In this situation, one page cost me almost 8 rubles, despite the fact that in our stores they photocopy a page for 5 rubles.
Then I got into traditional medicine and started surfing the Internet. It was then that the harsh truth was revealed to me that I was not alone in my grief. Forum members cried out loud that the crappy HP is deliberately giving away its MFPs for pennies, so that they can then profit from people who buy cartridges for crazy money!!!
The whole cunning thing is that their cartridges cannot be refilled, like many others - there is some kind of protection there, or something. But I decided to try anyway, since I had no choice ((I bought ink for about 100 rubles for 100 ml (!) there is a noticeable difference with the cost of the cartridge, don’t you think? I followed the instructions from the Internet, there is nothing complicated there - there is a sticker on top of the cartridge , it closes the holes that lead inside the cartridge, inside of which is... ordinary foam rubber! You need to draw about 3 ml of ink into the syringe and slowly release it into the sponge until it begins to ooze from the bottom nozzle. Everything seems simple, but at the bottom of the cartridge , I don’t know, on purpose or by accident, there is an air chamber that does not allow the cartridge to work even if it is filled to capacity. To revive the cartridge, I didn’t just jump around with a tambourine - I pierced this unfortunate chamber with a nail, pumped the air out of it with a syringe and sealed it with chewing gum and tape. The cartridge started working!!! But after 20 pages it died again. I have neither the time nor the desire to do shamanism all the time, especially since today, after a long break, I tried to revive it again, I realized that the bobby cartridge had completely died
So now we have this multifunctional but useless device, like a suitcase without a handle)) We are saving money for a new printer.
Thanks to everyone who mastered my writing, I hope my review will be useful to someone))
As a user of printers from Hewlett Packard, sooner or later you may encounter difficulties in further printing due to a message with an error code. As a rule, it appears when The cartridge is running low on ink. And if the device refuses to print and the yellow indicator flashes even when installing a newly refilled cartridge, you can try replacing the cartridge with an original one, or you can, contrary to the warranty conditions, reset the counter.

Without releasing the ON key, you should now press RESUME once, and then release all buttons. As a result of such manipulations, the yellow indicator will stop lighting and the device will attempt to print the document in normal operating mode.
However, since there is no paper in the tray, the unit will run idle, but will display a corresponding message on the monitor. After pressing the CANCEL button, the user must place paper sheets in the tray and perform a test print. If it suddenly crashes and shows an unknown error, try restarting the printer by turning it off and on again.
