My Envy cartridge has been correctly installed - I know I have installed them dozens of times before - but repeatedly get error message telling me to remove and reinstall cartridge. I have tried unplugging, turning off both printer and my Macbook Air and resetting the printer to factory settings - everything I can think of - any ideas anyone? Pease help - Desperate of Cambridge,UK, thanks x Florrie

@1Floribunda, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I understand the ink cartridge is not working right. Which of the ink cartridge has this error?
This printer supports printing in single cartridge mode. Insert one cartridge at a time to identify the defective ink cartridge.
Perform the steps mentioned in this document - HP Printer Does not Print and Error Indicates Faulty Ink Cartridge
Make sure the plastic tape if any, is removed from the new ink cartridge before placing it in the printer.
