hi there... i tried all suggestions and nothing worked. my printer is a hp deskjet ink advantage 4645... with cartridge number 678, type 1 cartridge. checking on which cartridge number must i use for this printer, #678 does not exist.  may i remind you that i have been using this printer since 2014, and never encountered this problem, until now. is there another cartridge number with same same type that i can use to replace this one? just asking.
