HP 10.00.10 Supply Memory Error
What it means
The printer cannot read the memory chip (the e-label) on a toner or ink supply. It often follows fitting a refilled, remanufactured, or third-party cartridge, or a supply whose chip is dirty or damaged. Cleaning the chip contacts or fitting a supply with a readable chip resolves it.
