Printer Cartridge E light won't stop blinking on F300 All in One Printer

[ValGal18]

HP F300 All in One Printer.  I installed new cartridges.  It printed 10 copies then Error light came on.  I searched online for solutions.  Some were no longer available.  Virtual HP Agent's questions were not helping.  I need a LIVE person OR someone in the community who has a solution.  Thank you!
