Color and Black cartridge was empty. Replaced both with new HP cartridges that I just bought from Walmart. The Black worked but the Color printed one time then did not work. Printer now displays "Cartridge Problem" with the brand new color cartridge. Despite re-inserting cartridge multiple times and restarting printer - no change. Checked printer firmware and it is up to date. I've tried every trouble shoot issue HP has to offer but nothing worked. The color cartridge that does not work cost me 42$ and I'm not about to buy a new cartridge without something from HP. Walmart would not take the cartridge back. What now?
