Hi @Shubhankar2 ,

 

Thanks for sharing the product details.

 

Try the steps below. 

 

1. While the printer is on, open the cartridge door, and the ink cartridges will move to the center position.

2. Unplug the USB cord.

3. Remove both ink cartridges.

4. Unplug the power cord (DON'T TURN OFF the printer first, just pull out the power cord).

5. Close the cartridge door.

6. Wait about 1 minute.

7. Plug the power cord back (don't plug the USB cord yet), the printer would automatically turn on and start up.

8. Wait until it finishes starting up, then open the cartidge door, the cartridge slots would move to center again.

9. Place the ink cartridges back into their slots, don't forget to lock them by pressing down the blue lever.

10. Close the cartridge door. At this time, I didn't hear any faint beeping sound anymore.

11. Plug the USB cord back.

12. Try to print something.

 

Keep me posted for further assistance if you are facing any errors.

I followes the steps you provided but it was of no use my problem remains the same. Additionally, I am encountering this message on my screen while printing. Though, I'm using a genuine cartridge from HP, the message asks me to replace it with a genuine one. And also the printer is still blinking the same. I'm attaching the images of the three again
