Hi @rosyrose,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are facing a cartridge error.

 

If you have already performed the steps from the document Fixing Poor Print Quality and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.

 

I've sent you a private message with further instructions to get this issue sorted.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
