Hi @A7MED3,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try these steps:

Check Cartridge Installation:

  • Ensure the cartridges are properly installed in their respective slots.
  • Open the front door and make sure the printhead carriage latch is securely closed.

Inspect Cartridges:

  • Remove the cartridges carefully and inspect them for any packaging materials like tapes or seals that may not have been removed.
  • Reinstall the cartridges by aligning them properly and pushing them into place until they snap securely.

Use Genuine HP Cartridges:

  • Ensure you're using genuine HP cartridges as counterfeit or refilled cartridges may lead to recognition issues.

Reset the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power source.
  • Wait for about 60 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer to complete the reset.

Perform Printer Alignment:

  • If prompted, perform any necessary alignments or calibration to ensure the printheads are properly set.

I hope this helps.
