HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 11

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8620.  An error message stated that the cartridges are damaged.  I replaced the damage cartridges with new ones.  I get the same reading. First they read as full, then it states that the cartridges are damaged and empty. The online troubleshooting step is to clean the printer heads, but it wont do so with empty cartridges. How can I clean the printer heads without cartridges?
