Hello, @SLIM5 - Hope you are well 🙂
 

Thank you for becoming an HP Forum member. It is a great location to get help from the community, get suggestions and find what has worked for others!

I understand that the printer is not accepting the newly refilled cartridge. While the printer should support the refilled cartridge after updating the printer firmware, it is possible that the refilled cartridge itself is defective. 

As per QualityLogic, one of the world's foremost quality assurance organizations nearly one out of every six refilled ink cartridges tested was dead on arrival or failed prematurely and 70% of refilled cartridges had some form of reliability problem.

Hence, I would still suggest you try and check with a different cartridge to make sure the issue is not caused by the specific cartridge.

Let me know if that helps!

Good luck!
