Always the error below appears on my printer's screen.
"Cartridge Problem
Remove and reinstall the indicated cartridge, making sure it is correctly installed.
If this message continues to appear, replace the indicated cartridge."
I enrolled HP Instant Ink. Demo cartridges worked fine. After I replaced with new cartridges that HP sent, I replaced only colour cartridge and still was working fine. After my black cartridge finished and replaced with new black cartridge, this message started to appear. I thought that, it was about black cartridge and I requested new black cartridge. I replaced with new black cartridge but this problem is still continues. What can I do?

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Try these steps -
1) Turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
2) Wait until the printer is idle and silent.
3) With the printer turned on, unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.
3) Wait for 60 seconds.
4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not to a surge protector.
5) Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
Also, try cleaning the ink cartridges. Refer to step# 4, 6 and 7 from this document.
If the issue still persists, please send us a private message with your Instant Ink account details or you may also respond to the private message I've sent out and I'll help you out, accordingly. Check next to your profile Name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
