Remove and Reinstall indicated cartridge message

[JenniS1]

I just installed a new black HP ink cartridge (purchased from Target) and I keep getting a message to "remove and reinstall the indicated cartridge, making sure it is correctly installed."  I tried taking it out and putting it back several times and it didn't work and then I tried to reboot the print as described in other questions and answers here and nothing is working.

Remove the Black ink cartridge and try making a color copy in single-cartridge mode and check if that works.

I went out yesterday and bought another new ink cartridge to try because my kids needed to do their schoolwork.  The new cartridge is now working so it must have been a problem with the other cartridge.  Do you know if I can return this other defective cartridge? Thank you
