Printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed

Product: HP Officejet 6600 all in one
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My printer was working fine until I installed the 3 new color cartridges I ordered from HP online. Now it gives me this error message "missing or failed printhead". I have tried numerous times to reinstall them, unplugged the printer, etc. and I still get the same message. I even ordered new ink today hoping this will fix! Help!
