Deskjet 3545
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have been using my Deskjet 3545 with my current cartridges for 2-3 months with no problem. But today my printer show error: incompatible cartridges (black one). I reseat the cartridge and the problem still persists. I install a new cartridge (even tried two new ones) and it does not help. I clean the printer electrical contacts as shown in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSL-MRHtJbI and the problem is still not solved. What should I do next?

I see that the printer is in an error state and I appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue. 

 

If you have already performed the steps from the document HP Printer Does not Print and Error Indicates Faulty Ink Cartridge and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.

Thank you for the help. Finally, I need to contact HP customer service and send my printer for repairing.
