I paid 207 goddamn dollars for replacement cartridges, put them in, and discovered that HP region-locks its printers. If you need a refresher: region-locking is a form of DRM mostly used by media and software publishers so they can sell the same content at different prices in different regions.
Go to Devices > Printers & scanners > select a printer > Manage. Then select Set as default. If you don`t see the Set as default option, the Let Windows manage my default printer option may be selected. You`ll need to clear that selection before you can choose a default printer on your own.
A regional lockout may be enforced for several reasons, such as to stagger the release of a certain product, to avoid losing sales to the product`s foreign publisher, to maximize the product`s impact in a certain region through localization, to hinder grey market imports by enforcing price discrimination, or to prevent …
If you want to access standard network printers or printers shared via Windows networking when you`re away from the local network, you can use a virtual private network, or VPN. Connect to a VPN and your computer will create a secure tunnel to the VPN server on the remote network.
If your printer`s status displays “Printer in error state,” there may be a problem with the printer itself. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your PC by Wi-Fi or cable. Check it for low paper or ink, and be sure the cover isn`t open and the paper isn`t jammed.
NOTE: Most fo the times, the default password for Wi-Fi Direct is 12345678. However, if you;re printer is connected to a wireless network and not Wi-Fi Direct, then you can locate the password for the wireless connectivity by following the steps from this HP document: I sincerely hope this information helps.
On your computer, in the Windows Notification Area (bottom-right corner of your Windows desktop), right-click the printer icon. In the printer menu, select the Properties or Preferences option. In the printer settings window, the ink or toner levels are displayed for the currently-installed cartridge(s).

HP deskjet 460 Waste ink tank full
ANSWER : I worked fixing printers for 5 years for Verizon and some of the older printers were notorious for the waste receptacle filling and overflowing with ink. My solution was good old warm water. Remove the waste container and scoop out as much as you can with a small screwdriver, wiping the discard on a paper towel, then just run warm water from the faucet into the container till all the residue is removed. This is just water soluble ink folks, if you want to test it, scoop out a glob and dissolve it in warm water, its easy as pie. I never once bought a new ink discard reservoir. I just cleaned out my mobile 460 printer reservoir by the same method. There are no electrical connections its just all plastic.
