@Jose2485, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

Power Cycle the Printer:

• Turn off the printer.
• Unplug it from the power outlet.
• Wait for about 1-2 minutes before plugging it back in.
• Turn the printer back on and check if the error message persists.

Check the Ink Cartridges:

• Ensure the ink cartridges are installed correctly.
• Remove the cartridges and reinsert them to make sure they’re seated properly.
• Check if the protective tape (if any) is removed from the new cartridges.
• Make sure the cartridges are compatible with your printer model.

Clean the Ink Cartridge Contacts:

• Turn off the printer and unplug it.
• Open the cartridge access door and remove the cartridges.
• Clean the copper-colored contacts on the ink cartridges and the printer with a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or isopropyl alcohol.
• Let everything dry before reinserting the cartridges.

Check for Paper Jams:

• Ensure there are no paper jams in the printer, especially near the ink system.
• Check both the front and rear access areas for any small pieces of paper that might be stuck.
• Clear any paper jams carefully.

Check Printer Firmware/Software:

• Sometimes outdated printer software or firmware can cause this error.
• Check the HP Support website for any available firmware updates for your printer.
• Update the printer drivers and software on your computer.

Reset the Printer:

• Some printers have a reset function that can help clear this error.
• You may find the reset option in the printer's settings or menu.

Try a Different Cartridge:

• Even though you've replaced the cartridge, it's possible that the new cartridge is defective.
• Try reinstalling the old cartridge (if you still have it) to see if the error persists.

Perform a Printer Self-Test:

• Many printers have a built-in self-test or diagnostic feature. Look for an option to print a test page from the printer's settings or control panel.

You can also refer to these guides for assistance: Resolving 'Print System Problem' or 'Problem with Ink System' Errors, and troubleshooting errors like 'Ink System Failure,' 'System Supply Problem,' or 'Supply System.
