HP C4480

My Photosmart C4480 printer finally quite working.  I get a message that says I am using incompatible ink cartridges.  I only use HP cartridges.  I bought new ones but still get the message.  Question #1 is there a way I can clean the printer heads to recognize the HP cartridges?  Question #2 does HP make a printer that uses these cartridges?

Unfortunately all the printers you show have been discontinued? My 5280 All in One just broke, where the cartridges sit in their position.

 

I am looking to buy another printer that uses the same cartridges. So if you know of any?

Also some used C5280,though price looks steep for used. Not sure how it compares to the C5580:
