Hi @laptopman586

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you.

Have you tried using an alternate/spare tricolor ink cartridge and check if the error persists?

Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.

Also, perform step 3 mentioned in this document. If the issue persists, it could be a defective ink cartridge.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Ok.  I have gone thru all the steps over and over.  So I have a defective $48 cartridge!  Now what do I do?

Problem is not the printer.  It works just fine with the old cartridge (which is out of ink).  But I will try the support site you recommended.
