Welcome to HP Forums, 
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips. Thank you for posting your query. I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

 

Since you are unable to print after replacing the cartridge, print a test page to diagnose the issue.   

Follow these steps to print, and then evaluate a test page.

 

  • Make sure there is plain white, letter-size paper loaded in the input tray.
  • On the printer control panel, hold down the Power button, and then press the Cancel button () once.
  • Release the Power button.
  • The test page prints.

If you find any defects on the extended test page, clean the cartridge using the printer software:

  • Open the printer software.
  • Right-click the lower left corner of the screen to open the menu, click Control Panel, click Devices and Printers, and then double-click the icon for your HP printer.

            NOTE: You can also open the HP printer software from your computer desktop: double-click the icon for your printer ().

  • In the printer software, click Print and Scan ().
  • Click Maintain Your Printer (). The HP Toolbox opens.
  • Click the Device Services tab.
  • Click Clean Ink Cartridges, and then follow the on-screen instructions to clean the cartridges.
  • After running the tool, click Print to print a test page. If the print quality is still unacceptable, follow the on-screen instructions to run a Second-level clean.

If issue persists, clean the area around the ink nozzles and Align the printer.
