I did what the community said - BUT IS NOT WORKING

 

Holding the cartridge by the sides, remove any protective tape that still might be on the contacts.

CAUTION:

Do not touch the ink nozzles or the copper-colored electrical strip. Touching or trying to remove these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.

 

 

Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water, and then wipe the copper-colored contacts on the cartridge.

 

 

Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth or swab with distilled water, and then clean the electrical contacts in the carriage.

 

 

Wait 10 minutes for the contacts to dry, and then reinsert the cartridge into its color-coded slot.

Repeat these steps for the other cartridge if it was indicated in the error message.

Close the door or lid to the cartridge access area.

If the error persists, clean the cartridge and carriage contacts a second time.

 

Try the single cartridge mode 

 

The printer you own can work in single-cartridge mode, wherein the printer will be able to print with one cartridge in the printer. Which will help us identify if its a cartridge issue or a printhead issue 

 

To try single-cartridge mode follow the below steps:

 

  • remove the black ink from the printer, leave the color in and try printing 
  • then remove the color ink and, insert the black  in and try printing
