Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:

 

HP 340 G3/G4 NotebookHP 346 G3/G4 NotebookHP 348 G3/G4 Notebook Maintenance and Service Guide

 

Your notebook only supports SATA SSD's.

 

If your notebook came with a 2.5" mechanical hard drive, you can replace it with a 2.5" SATA SSD.

 

From the way I read the manual, only the notebooks that came with M.2 SATA SSDs from the factory have a M.2 slot to install a M.2 SATA SSD,

 

You are going to find that SSDs and memory prices have skyrocketed due to the increased AI demand for chips.

 

This would be the 2.5" drive model series I recommend.  They come in various storage capacities.

 

This is the 500 GB model for example.

 

Amazon.in: Buy Western Digital WD Blue SA510 SATA 500GB, Up to 560MB/s, 2.5 Inch/7 mm, 5Y Warranty, ...

This usually happens when the protective tape wasn’t fully removed or air is trapped in the cartridge.

Try this:

  • Remove the cartridge again and double-check all orange/plastic seals are gone

  • Run Printhead Cleaning / Align Printer from HP Smart (2–3 times)

  • Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Page

  • If it’s an HP Instant Ink cartridge, make sure the printer is online and activated

If it still prints blank, the cartridge is likely defective and should be replaced by HP.
