Frequently Asked Questions
Do the HP OfficeJet Pro 8210 and 8216 use the exact same ink cartridges?
Yes, both the OfficeJet Pro 8210 and 8216 share identical internal printing mechanisms and take the same HP 955, 955XL, and 959XL cartridge series.
Can I install a high-yield HP 955XL cartridge if my printer previously had a standard HP 955?
Yes, standard 955 and high-yield 955XL cartridges have identical exterior dimensions and fit into the exact same ink slots. The XL version simply holds a larger volume of ink.
Do I need to replace all four HP 955 cartridges at once if one colour runs out?
No, the HP 8210 and 8216 use individual ink cartridges for each colour channel (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). You only need to replace the specific colour that is depleted.
Why does my OfficeJet Pro printer prompt a chip error after installing a new cartridge?
OfficeJet Pro printers regularly receive automated firmware updates from HP that can disrupt non-genuine chip recognition. Ensure your compatible cartridges feature updated smart chips or disable automatic firmware updates to prevent operational interruptions.
