I just changed cartridges and am getting a "Remove and Reinstall Ink Cartridge" message. I have tried to troubleshoot doing a hard reset (removing cartridges, unplugging printer, holding down power button, etc.), but still get the same message.
Note: This is a brand new authentic hp ink.
Any other suggestions for removing this error and using my printer?

Hello,
Please update the printer firmware as follows:
- From the printer's front panel display, touch the Wireless icon (
) to retrieve the printer's IP address.
- Start a web page, then type this address in the address bar and press Enter. The printer's Web interface opens.
- Click Tools tab, and then develop Printer Updates, and then Firmware Updates.
- Click the Check Now button to install the latest firmware update.
In some cases, remove the ink cartridges and reset the printer can solve the error.
- Turn on the printer.
- Before continuing, wait until the printer is idle and silent.
- Disconnect the USB cable from the back of the printer. If your printer has a network or wireless connection, leave it connected.
- Remove the ink cartridges of the printer.
- With the printer turned on, unplug the power cord from the back of the printer and from the wall outlet.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord into the outlet.
NOTE: HP then recommends reconnecting the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer.
- Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically make it.It is possible that the printer goes through a warm-up cycle. It is also possible that the printer lights blink and the carriage moves.
- Wait until the preheat cycle and until the printer is idle and silent before continuing.
- Reinsert the ink cartridge, and then close the access door to the cartridges.
- Print a calibration page, if prompted.
- If you disconnected the USB cable, reconnect it to the back of the product.
- Try to print.
