Instant Ink Cartridge gives a communication error when installed

[BU78]

Hi All, 

I just received new Instant Ink Cartridge 3-color model 63/302/65/304, code MYS2 231200 220617 2313

My printer is an HP OfficeJet 5230 All-In-One. 

After installing it printer displays a communication error between cartridge and printer and does not start alignment. I needed to reinstall old cartridge (fortunately I can use it for few prints). What can I do? Do I have to send back the cartridge? 

Thank you in Advance, 

Michele.

Hi @BU78,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
