Hi @Dashy2,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

I'd like to help!

 

I see that you're getting ink system errors on the printer, let us try to isolate and resolve the issue. Follow the steps below-

 

Remove the ink cartridges from the printer, close the access door and check for the error message.

 

Also, Update the printer firmware

Download available firmware updates from the HP website

With the printer on and connected to the computer, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, and then identify your printer. Look for and install any available firmware updates. Refer to the document HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

 

If the issue persists, we can try resetting the printer. The reset instructions are specific to your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device. 

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer. 

 

In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Forums profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link.

 

Hope this helps!
