deskjet 6980 does not recognise the cartridge

[PeterWillson]

I insert a new genuine HP cartridge and the cartridge empty light flashes on the printer. Have tried this with 2 new cartridges

How do I get it to accept the new cartridge?

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Let's try to reset the Printer here:

Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.

1. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
2. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
3. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
4. Wait at least 60 seconds.
5. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
6. NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.
7. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
8. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
9. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

If the issue still persists, please perform the remaining steps from this document: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-deskjet-6980-printer-series/468002/model/468006/document/c00... and https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-deskjet-6980-printer-series/468002/model/468006/document/c00...

If the issue persists, I recommend you to contact the HP Support Team regarding this as this could be a hardware issue.
