I keep getting an error on my printer saying that “cartridges appear to be missing”. Both cartridges are properly installed. The tape on the cartridges have both been removed and the contact points are both clean.

Welcome to the HP support community.

Perform a power reset

1. Turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
4. Wait at least 30 seconds.
5. Plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet and printer without any surge protector.
6. Turn on the printer.

Update the printer firmware
