I have HP Envy 4520 and got the same error. Below are the steps done to sort the problem

 

1) Switch on your printer

2) Unplug the power cable

3) Wait for 30 seconds

4) Plug the power cable

5) Wait for 30 seconds

6) Unplug the power cable

7) Wait for 30 seconds

😎 Plug the power cable

9) Try printing when the printer is ready

 

Basically you are removing the power to your printer twice before trying to print.

Does not work for me.

This is a funny way to solve the problem. I have been in IT industry for around 14 years now. You can solve an out of memory issue by restarting a server one or multiple times, but can not solve a null pointer issue without fixing the data or the code.

Hi, believe me you are on your own. I have tried contacting HP via email but have not received any support just reply that email has been forwarded...

The only fix is to replace the defective cartridge with a new one. I think this is how HP has started generating revenue. Supply customers with defective cartridges then do not listen to grievances, at the end the customer will have to buy a new cartridge in order to use the printer.
