New hp printer Envy Inspire 7200e does not recognize the cartridge and won’t connect

[Winston78]

“The indicated cartridges are not communicating correctly with the printer”

. We replaced the color cartridge but it still didn’t work.  This is a brand new printer.  We have not been able to use it.. we took the tape off so that is not the issue.

Hi @Winston78,

Welcome to HP Support Community. 
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I see that you are facing cartridge issues with your HP Envy Inspire 7200e All-In-One Printer.

Please follow the steps listed below to clean the electrical contacts of the cartridges:
1. Turn the printer on.
2. Open the door to access the cartridges.
3. Wait until the carriage stops moving before you continue.
4. Remove the cartridge indicated in the error message from its slot, holding it by its side.
CAUTION: Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzles. Touching these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.
5. Remove any protective tape that still might be on the contacts.
CAUTION: Do not touch or try to remove the copper electrical strip.
6. Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water, and then clean only the copper-colored contacts on the cartridge.
7. Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water and then clean the electrical contacts in the carriage, located inside the printer.
8. Wait 10 minutes for the contacts to dry.
9. Reinsert the cartridge.
10. Close the cartridge access door.
