Welcome to the HP Support Community. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries. I have reviewed your post and I understand, there's an issue with the ink levels.

 

Don't worry, I'm here to help! To better assist you -

 

1) Are you using genuine HP ink? 

2) Are you getting any error message? 

 

While you respond to that, let's try these steps -

 

1) Take out the cartridges. 
2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall. 
3) Wait for 30 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) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

 

To check the estimated ink levels, try these steps - Search Windows for HP, and then click your printer name or HP Solution Center. Click Maintain Your Printer, if necessary.

 

Alternatively, you may also print the "Printer Status Report" - Touch Setup, select Reports, select Printer Status Report. 

 

Hope this helps!

 

Let me know how that goes.

If the issue still persists, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
