I replaced my coloured ink cartridge last week. It was working fine and I could print. Today, when I turned on my printer, the indicator for the coloured ink is blinking and I can't print anything. I thought maybe the cartridge was defective so I bought another one, but after putting the new one in, the light is still blinking. 

 

Already tried:

* Uninstalling and installing drivers

* Removed both black and coloured cartridges, unplugging the power cord while power is still on, waited 30 seconds and plugged it in, inserted the cartriges back
