@kenwil, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I see that the printer is not reading the ink cartridges. Make sure you are using HP inks.

 

Check if the ink cartridges are properly inserted in the printer, you may refer to - Replace HP inkjet printer cartridges

 

Kindly perform the steps mentioned in this document - Ink cartridge error

 

If the issue persists with more than 1 set of ink cartridges, I'm afraid it could an issue with the printer.
