If all the other recommendations didn't work try what I did. I removed the cartridge and used a medium soft tooth brush to clean the contacts inside the printer, not the ones on the cartridge. I previously cleaned them with alcohol and compressed air but neither of those methods worked. Only the tooth brush. I was not aggressive, I just brushed the contacts for about twenty seconds. And that worked. Good Luck.
