'Ink Cartridge Problem' HP envy 4500

[Niurkashere]

I have an HP envy 4500, last week I printed without a problem, the cartridges are half full, but today when I tried to print something the message 'Ink Cartridge Problem' and 'The Following Cartridge Must be replaced', appeared, indicating the black cartridge, I tried taking it turning it off, waiting a couple minutes and starting it again, and it did not work, also tried cleaning it carefully and installing it again, and it also did not work. what should I do if this just suddenly appeared?
