I have new cartridges purchased from the HP printer web page. The printer tells me they are counterfeit.
I have tried the "partial reset" to no avail.
Printer has been shut down, powered off, etc. several times.
Also, reseated cartridges. Note that they have been working fine and the problem just cropped up for no apparent reason.

Hi @RCP45,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd like to help!
To be able to answer you effectively, we need some information.
Are those HP genuine ink cartridges?
One of the following messages (or similar) displays and the printer does not print. They indicate refilled or counterfeit cartridges are installed, but can also display when genuine HP cartridges are depleted or almost depleted.
Used, Refilled, or Counterfeit ink cartridge Detected
Counterfeit ink cartridge Advisory
HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP or refilled cartridges. HP recommends using genuine HP ink or toner supplies available from the HP Store. Go to HP Anti Counterfeiting and Fraud Program for more information on using authentic HP cartridges.
If the error displays with genuine HP cartridges, select No, OK, or Continue. If the print job completes, the issue is resolved but you might need to dismiss the message every time you print until the cartridges are depleted. Otherwise continue with these steps to resolve the issue.
Reset the printer
Reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.
If your printer has a rechargeable battery, remove it.
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
Unplug the power cord from the power source.
Wait 60 seconds.
Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.
NOTE:
HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
Turn on the printer to complete the reset.
Replace the problem ink cartridge
Installing a new cartridge can resolve ink-related errors.
Obtain a replacement cartridge.
Printer is enrolled in Instant Ink. Replacement cartridges are part of your subscription. If you have another Instant Ink cartridge on hand, install it. Otherwise, contact HP Instant Ink support for a new cartridge.
Printer is NOT enrolled in Instant Ink. Go to the HP Store or a local retailer to find and purchase compatible supplies. HP recommends genuine HP cartridges.
NOTE:
If you have a defective HP cartridge, it might be under warranty. Go to About Original HP Cartridges for page yield and HP Limited Warranty information.
Open the door or lid to the cartridge access area. Wait until the carriage stops moving before continuing.
Remove the cartridge indicated in the error message, and then insert the new cartridge into the slot.
Repeat these steps to replace any other cartridges indicated in the error message.
Close the door or lid to the cartridge access area, and then follow any instructions to align the printer.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Useless info. My original post said I bought the cartridges from the HP web page and you then ask me if they are genuine? You tell me, I bough them from YOU!
But, never mind. The printer next reported that the print head was bad. I bought another printer, an EPSON. So far, it works well,
