Welcome to the HP suport community.
I understand that you are getting ink system errors, I am glad to assist you.
Reset the printer
- Reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.
- If your printer has a rechargeable battery, remove it.
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the power source.
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.
- NOTE:HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
- Turn on the printer to complete the reset.
Remove and reinsert the ink cartridges
- Make sure the cartridges are seated properly in the carriage.
- Turn on the printer, and then open the door or lid to the cartridge access area.
- Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before you continue.
- Push the ink cartridge to remove it, and then push it into its slot until it snaps into place.
- Repeat these steps to remove and reinsert the other cartridges.
- Close the door or lid to the cartridge access area.
