I installed the black ink cartridge and now the HP Instant Ink Cartridge Message will not clear and I cannot get to the Home Page
I have pulled all the cartridges out and no fix
I have unplugged the printer for more than 30 seconds but no fix
I see other recommendations to do a reset - How do I do that so this clears?

Hi @Fred557,
I'd like to help!
To assist better -
Could you share the exact error message?
Meanwhile, try the below suggestions-
Reset the product
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
- Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
Also, try updating the printer's firmware -HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
Keep me posted.

Hi @Jay_G24,
There was no error message just the "Cartridge changed message". I did try the power solution you mentioned below but that did not work. However, I found that the laptop app once I cleared the message from there, it allowed the message on the printer to clear. So, there appears to be connectivity between the apps and the printer controlling what I see. In any case, all cleared.

I have had the same issues after replacing all the colour cartridges. Firmware is up to date, tried the power reset, and I checked the app on my phone and computer. I can't seem to find a way to clear the message. Please help.

Found it! In the HP Smart app, click "Printer Status" in the menu on the left side. When I clicked that, it showed the same message in the app that was displayed on the printer. When I clicked OK on the message in the app, it cleared it in both the app and on the printer.
I used the app on my laptop. I don't have it installed on my phone. So IDK if it would work the same way.
