Product: HP Envy 5000 All-in-one Printer Series
Operating System: macOS 10.14 Mojave
Hello!
About a month ago, I installed my first shipment of HP Instant Ink cartridges. Now, my printer says there is a "Cartridge Problem" and will not allow me to print. I have removed and reinstalled the cartridges, cleaned them according to website instructions, unplugged and reset my printer, and checked for firmware updates. I'm now out of ideas. I feel as though I may need to replace the cartridge, and am frustrated that HP Customer Support is not open on weekends so I can resolve this issue quickly.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

- Unplug the printer.
- Wait 30 seconds.
