My printer has been out-of-commission with a message reading, "Remove and reinstall the indicated ink cartridge, making sure it is correctly installed. If this message continues to appear, replace the indicated ink cartridge." I've removed and re-installed the ink a number of times with no luck. I'm enrolled in the instant ink program, but since the ink isn't out yet, haven't received a new ink cartridge. This is happening to my color ink cartridge for my HP OfficeJet 4650 printer. Any ideas for how to fix this?
