OfficeJet 6600 Not Recognizing full ink cartridges

[cab385]

I replaced all of the cartridges with new cartridges (even if not needed) and the printer still says that the yellow cartridge is empty.  I can hear the ink in the cartrigde and even got some on my hands.

How can I fix this to use the printer again?

OR

Can I just print in black and white?  Is there a way to force the printer to print in black without full color cartridges?

Thank you!

@cab385,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

• Are you using HP genuine cartridges?
• Are you getting any error on the printer?

Meanwhile, I recommend you follow the below steps and check if it helps.

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 
2. Remove USB cable, if present. 
3. Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge. 
4. Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer. 
5. Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

If you continue facing the issue, follow the steps in the below article.
