@KKC1, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I understand you are not able to print due to this error.
Kindly perform the steps mentioned in this document - HP Printer Does not Print and Error Indicates Faulty Ink Cartridge
Make sure the plastic tape if any, is removed from the new ink cartridge before placing it in the printer.
If the error persists, and if you have used 2 new ink cartridges, I'm afraid this could be a hardware issue with the printhead or the printer. Please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region regarding the service/replacement options.
You may create a case on the website to obtain a case number if required. Kindly watch this video to know how.
Keep me posted for any other assistance.
