my envy 6258 photo printer is less than 2 months old

a few weeks ago i installed a new color cartridge it was fine for a few weeks

i printed today then after page printed i got error

cartridge problem   remove and reinstall cartridge

 

i tried a dozen times to reinstall cartridge

i tried cleaning contacts

I checked firmware  its up to date

i tried unplugging printer and letting it reset.. the cartridge is the correct one.. it was sent to me as part of instant ink program

 

black ink which is ok says  64  but color ink says  64/ 303 doesnt work  .. sccording to hp page  303 is for mideast and africa not usa.. could prob be hp instant ink sent wrong color ink?  if they did they need to send correct  color ink 64.  instant ink does not ship till you are almost out.. color is hardly used-   i cant print any thing color or black till this is resolved. im stuck

it says replace cartridge.. I CANNOT REPLACE CARTRIDGE   hp wont send another till this is used up..But . I cant use it it , it  may be defective..  Now its gone offline as well.. How do we fix this   UNIT IS LESS THAN 2 MONTHS OLD. INK WAS SENT TO ME BY HP LESS Than A MONTH AGO.. NOT WOrking
