Thank you for posting on HP Forums,

Flower_Bud is at your service.

 

As I understand, your printer gives an error message "Ink cartridge Failure"

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:

When was the last time it worked fine?

Was it working fine with previous tri-color cartridge?

Have you tried replacing the cartridge with another one? If not, I suggest you try another ink cartridge.

 

Let's try these steps to resolve the issue: 

Remove, inspect, and then reseat the cartridges

Follow these steps to make sure that the cartridges are inserted correctly.

NOTE: HP cannot guarantee the quality of remanufactured or refilled ink cartridges. Use genuine HP ink cartridges for good print quality.

  1. If the printer is off, press the Power button to turn on the printer.

  2. Open the ink cartridge access door. The carriage moves to the center of the printer. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before continuing.

  3. Press down on the ink cartridge to release it, and then pull the ink cartridge out to remove it from its slot.

    Image: Remove the cartridge

    CAUTION: Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzles. Touching these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.

    Image: Do not touch the contacts or nozzles

  4. Remove any protective tape that still might be on the nozzles.

    CAUTION: Do not try to remove the copper electrical strip.

    Image: Remove the protective tape

  5. Hold the ink cartridge by its sides with the nozzles toward the printer, and then insert the ink cartridge into its slot. Make sure that the ink cartridge is inserted in the correct slot.

    • The tri-color ink cartridge  goes in the slot on the left.

    • The black ink cartridge  goes in the slot on the right.

    Image: Snap the cartridge into place

  6. Push the ink cartridge forward into its slot until it snaps into place.

  7. Repeat these steps to replace the other ink cartridge, if necessary.

  8. Close the ink cartridge access door.

Clean the cartridge contacts (Skip the steps if you've already tried)

Follow these steps to clean the contacts on the cartridge and in the cartridge slot.

CAUTION: Clean the ink cartridges one at a time. Do not leave an ink cartridge outside the printer for more than 30 minutes.

  1. Gather the following materials:

    • Dry foam-rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that does not come apart or leave fibers (coffee filters work well)

    • Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants that can damage the ink cartridges)

      CAUTION: Do not use platen cleaners or alcohol to clean the ink cartridge contacts. These can damage the ink cartridge or the printer.

  2. Press the Power button to turn on the printer.

  3. Open the ink cartridge access door. The carriage moves to the center of the printer. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before continuing.

    Image: Open the cartridge access door

  4. Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

  5. Press down on the ink cartridge to release it, and then pull the ink cartridge out to remove it from its slot.

    Image: Remove the cartridge

    CAUTION: Do not remove both ink cartridges at the same time. Remove and clean each ink cartridge one at a time. Do not leave an ink cartridge outside the printer for more than 30 minutes.

  6. Hold the ink cartridge by its sides.

    Image:  Hold the cartridge by its sides

  7. Inspect the contacts for ink and debris buildup.

  8. Wipe the contacts with a dry swab or other lint-free material until no debris remains on them.

    CAUTION: Be careful to wipe only the contacts. Do not smear any ink or debris elsewhere on the ink cartridge.

  9. Dip a clean foam-rubber swab or lint-free cloth into distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from it.

  10. Clean only the copper-colored contacts, and then allow the ink cartridge to dry for approximately 10 minutes.

    1. Copper-colored contacts

    2. Ink nozzles (do not clean)

  11. Lightly moisten another cotton swab with distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from the swab.

  12. Use the swab to clean the electrical contacts in the carriage, located inside the printer.

  13. Clean the contacts in the carriage.

  14. Either let the ink cartridge sit for 10 minutes to allow the cleaned area to dry, or use a new swab to dry it.

    NOTE: Make sure that the ink cartridge is not left out of the printer for more than 30 minutes.

  15. Hold the ink cartridge by its sides with the nozzles toward the printer, and then insert the ink cartridge into its slot. Make sure that the ink cartridge is inserted in the correct slot.

    Image: Snap the cartridge into place

  16. Push the ink cartridge forward into its slot until it snaps into place.

  17. Repeat these steps to clean and then reinsert the other ink cartridges.

  18. Close the ink cartridge access door.

  19. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

  20. Press the Power button to turn on the printer if it does not turn on automatically.
