If you have installed generic print cartridges, that could be your problem. I used to use an HP printer and after an update from HP to the printer I found that it was impossible to use the generic carts. HP had somehow electronically blocked the use of generics on the printer. It sits idle in my basement now because I refuse to pay their exorbitant prices for ink.

Open the printer as if to replace an ink cartridge. On the print head there is a black plastic arm about 2 inches long. Re-connect this with the white cog wheel so that the protruding part is in the center of the black arm. Close lid, power on and job done.
