HP Deskjet 2652
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought new cartridges for my DesignJet 2652 Printer because it told me I was low on ink. I put the new ones in and it recognizes the black ink just fine but the color ink it still reads as low and I get an orange light.  When printing it also doesn't print all the color levels. I have tried turning it off and back on. Reseating the cartridge. Cleaning the contacts where the cartridge meets the cartridge compartment ( I used alcohol to not short anything). I tried cleaning the printer heads and nothing. I really don't want to buy a new printer if I don't have to.
