Product: HP Photosmart 7260 Photo Printer

I see that another person has had a similar problem in the past with flashinga  red light and nothing being printed, but my issue is slighty different!  It had been working fine then stopped with just flashing red.  Took out both cartridges and unplugged for a minute.,  Still wouldn;t work.  Tried taking out the cartridges on by one and the Black seems to be triggering the problem.  Take it out and the machine works fine with Colour, but back in = just flashing.

The cartridge is a genuine one and definately has free flowing ink - does one have to spend the necessary money to buy a new one just to 'test', or is there anything else I can do first please??(might it be worth refilliong my cartridge  to see if somehow the ink 'volume' is causing the issue?)

Any suggestions very welcome. Thanks in advance,  Richard
