Recently installed a brand new genuine HP printer cartridge 304XL (tri-color). When I installed it the screen said 'Genuine cartridge installed' or similar.
However, now when I try and print - it gets a little way through and then stops saying printer cartridge error - reinstall it etc.
Have done this several times to no avail. Have followed the troubleshooting steps here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03743431/ which haven't helped.
The printer is only a couple of months old and the cartridges are brand new. After reseating them in the caddy, the printer recognises them and sees they have full ink. But next time I print, it gets the issue.

Have updated to latest FW, has made no difference.
I tried contacting support last week via chat - the case got created, but then a rep didn't come on to the chat for another hour, by which time I'd gone. There's been no follow-up to the case since.
