Most cartridge errors are caused by a communication breakdown between the printer and the chip on the cartridge, and there is a simple fix for this.
- First, take all of the cartridges out of the printer (including any that are working, or do not need replacement).
- Put the problem cartridge back in on its own. If you are experiencing difficulty with more than one cartridge and one of them is the black, start with this.
- Turn the printer off and unplug it from the wall for about ten minutes.
- Turn the printer back on and insert the next cartridge - keep any of the cartridges that aren't causing a problem until last.
- Turn the printer off for about thirty seconds. There is no need to unplug it this time.
- If your printer takes more than two cartridges, repeat steps 4 and 5 until they are all installed.
The printer should now be talking to all of the cartridges, so you will be able to start printing.

My printer 3632 updated inself and installed illegal DRM timebom firmware 1750B.
My refilled cartridge was working until on April 2, 2018 it started to show cartridge failed and was refusing to work.
Under EU law blocking the work of 3rd party cartridges and making cartridges inoperable is illegal.
I also fully documented the way on how to bypass easily HP DRM timebomb.
1) Make sure printer is restricted from using internet and wifi, you can reset it before and set up it blocking future firmware updates.
2) power off the printer
3) set time on computer connected to the printer as Jan 1, 2018.
4) Power on the printer.
5) Old cartridge will work as a charm.
6) The fact that simply changing the time makes "Failed" cartridge to work shows that HP using illegal DRM practice which violates EU law.
before future printing set January 1st time, otherwise printer will get same error
