Cartridge on brand new HP Desk Plus 4120 Error

[M_R_M]

Hi, I have just bought a new 4120 printer and get an error message on the HP Smart App of a cartridge problem with the black cartridge.  The message states "the indicated cartridges are not communicating". I've tried all of the recommended online steps to resolve to no avail and have even signed up the instant ink programme thinking I would be sent a new cartridge but it appears the fault is preventing the printer from providing the ink service with any information.
