HP Photosmart C4440 All-in-One Printer

I recently purchased genuine HP 74/75 ink cartridges.  I put them in my printer like I have done a million times and NOTHING!  I have tried everything!  it prints completely blank sheets and copies completely blank sheets.  I have never had this issue.  these cartridges hard super hard to find and VERY expensive!!  has this happened to anyone else?  I have a photosmart c4440.  I have the receipt but not the packaging so I doubt it I could return it to the store and I can't find this ink in stock anywhere!

HELP!

@felinelove55, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I see that the printer is printing blank pages. Insert one ink cartridge at a time and try printing to identify the defective ink cartridge.

 

Perform the steps mentioned in this document - No black ink, wrong colors, other print quality issues

Clean the ink cartridges up to 2 times, and try printing a test page to check the result.

 

If the issue persists, use alternate/old ink cartridges to check if it works (if available). If not,
