HP printers....aaarrrrghhh!!! I love the software, the linux HP printer suite is great, but I was forever fighting cartridges - Unless they were genuine.
Have you tried running the clean print head routine? I had to do that regularly, and even then it wouldn't come good. My last HP Office jet had a removable print head, sometimes I'd have to let it sit in water, if that didn't work, I'd then have to clean it with rubbing alcohol. There's a million youtube videos on how to get these things running again.
Sometimes the cartridges would moan they were incorrect (throw warnings and refuse to print at all), the shop would normally swap them free of charge.
Genuine cartridges seemed to just work, but they were 5X the price. I've since moved to a laser, and wow, why didn't I do that sooner.
I'm guessing you've just got ink trouble. Good luck.
