Had poor quality copies and put two brand new HP cartridges in my HP Envy 5055 and get an error "Only one set of Instant Ink Ready cartridges can be used in a printer. Remove and replace with other cartridges." These are brand new cartridges and have tried the HP Print and Scan Doctor and all the Virtual Assistant suggestions without success. I have not even run more than 50 copies through this printer.

Welcome to HP Support Community
I would like to help
Did you replace them with Instant Ink Cartridges?
I have sent you a private message. Please check your Inbox
Meantime please try these steps
- Turn on the printer.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
- Disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the printer. If your printer has a network or wireless connection, leave it connected.
- Remove the ink cartridges from the printer and clean the electrical contacts with a lint free cloth
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and from the wall outlet or power strip.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to a wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.
- Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
- Reinsert the ink cartridges, and then close the ink cartridge access door.
- If you receive a prompt to print a calibration page, do so.
Also ensure the printer has the latest Firmware https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c02919168
