psc 1350 scan

[confused429]

I have a psc 1350 running on windows vista.

I had the 'check print cartridges error' occur on my printer.

Both cartridges were old Sooo --

I have just changed BOTH print cartridges.

The replacement cartridges are certified HP brand 57/58 photo series.

I purchased the photo series because that was the only option at my local Walmart store. 

When the printer is turned on a alignment sheet prints.

The alignment sheet looks perfect according to the illustration on HP's website.

When I place the alignment sheet on the scanner (properly) & push the scan button.

NOTHING HAPPENS. The printer does not scan the alignment sheet.

Turning off / back on just prints another alignment sheet -- because the scan isn't being done.

Could there be a problem with the new cartridges I just bought?

OR

Could the problem be with the scan button?

During this entire replacement process - the "E" and "check print cartridge" lights have remained on.

I am so confused. This is an old printer -- thought about just buying a new one.

BUT, I've just spent $50+ for the new cartridges so I really rather work with what I have IF there's a solution.
