I replaced the HP 61 color ink cartridge in HP Envy 4502 printer.  Printer worked for a few days then displayed ERROR MESSAGE.  Ink Cartridge problem. The following ink cartridge must be replaced.  Now I cannot print anything.  HP Smart app ink level display shows color cartridge as blank with dashed red line outline.  Scan works but nothing else.  I do not want to go out and spend $32 for a replacement cartridge and end up throwing out the printer and new cartridges if that doesn't work.  Any suggestions before I go out looking for new printers.
