HP OfficeJet 4650 All-in-One Printer

I have an instant ink subscription. I got a new cartridge about a month ago and put it on the shelf.

 

Yesterday, my black wasn't printing properly, so I opened it up and put in the fresh cartridge. Only I'm greeted with a very friendly error message.

 

"The indicated cartridges are not intended for use in this printer."

 

If I close out of it and click the ink button on the screen "Problem with cartridge(s)"

 

This is super fun when I have work documents that need to be printed.

Thanks for the initial troubleshooting step.

 

I had tried that already, with no success. I even left it unplugged all weekend with no luck.

 

Pretty frustrating as this is a service that I use for work.
