I get the message Ink Cartridges Problem - Remove and reinstall the indicated ink cartridge, making sure it is correctly installed. If this message continues to appear, replace the indicated ink cartridge.

 

I have done this, but still get the same message. What now?

@LukeMB, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Make sure the cartridges are compatible

Reset the printer

Restarting the printer can sometimes resolve an ink cartridge error.

  1. Turn the printer on, 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. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

  5. Wait at least 60 seconds.

  6. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

    NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.
  7. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

  8. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.

  9. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

If the error persists, continue to the next step.

 

Perform step 2 and step 3 from this document.

 

Let me know how this goes.

I've followed the link and steps suggested by you, but the only option given is to visit the HP Support Community, which is what I've already done - hence this conversation.
