After getting this error, I downloaded the latest driver/firmware.  I'm still getting the problem.  I'm using a genuine HP cartridge.

I called HP with my case number.  The response I got was my "new" cartridge was out of warrant because it is dated 2019/12/01.  Looks like I should have not bought two new cartridges at the same time because I don't print that much.  The only options HP gave me was to buy a new cartridge, a new printer, or enroll in their Instant Ink Support...

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that you are getting cartridge error, I am glad to assist you.

Reset the printer

Reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.

  • If your printer has a rechargeable battery, remove it.
  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the power source.
  • Wait 60 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.
  • NOTE: HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
  • Turn on the printer to complete the reset.

Clean the ink cartridge and printhead electrical contacts

  • Remove any debris or buildup from the contacts on the cartridges and in the carriage.
  • Open the door or lid to the cartridge access area. Wait until the carriage stops moving before continuing.
  • Remove the cartridge indicated in the error message from the carriage.
  • Wipe the copper-colored contact on the cartridge with a lint-free cloth.
  • Copper contact on the ink cartridge
  • Place the cartridge to the side with the contact facing upwards.
  • Wipe the contact inside the printhead with a lint-free cloth.
  • Electrical contact in the carriage
  • Reinsert the cartridge into its color-coded slot, and then press down on it until it snaps into place.
