Hi @beauty_beast,
Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel.

I understand you are getting an error message soon after replacing the black ink cartridges for your HP DeskJet 2060 printer. Don't worry we'll work together to find a solution for you,
Let's try these steps here:
Please make sure that the printer is connected directly to the wall outlet and not to the surge protector.
Perform a Hard Reset on the printer.
First remove all the ink cartridges from the printer.
* With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
* Remove USB cable, if present.
* Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
* Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
* Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.
* Now insert the cartridges and then try to print a test document.
