Remove the ink cartridge & reinstall it then press ok - Doesn't Work. Please Help !

HP Envy 5660 Wireless All-In-One
My black & color ink ran out and I changed them both. The color ink cartridge is fine but when I changed the black cartridge I get a message telling me to remove it and reinstall the black ink cartridge then press ok. I tried this several times. When it did not work after 4 tries, I decided to try another black cartridge. Again I got this message. I tried with 3 brand new black cartridges with no luck.
I then decided to turn off the power to the printer and unplug the printer. Wait a few minutes then plug it in again and power up. Like a re-boot.  This did not help. I then tried cleaning the area where the cartridge goes in but this did not help either. I did not bother trying to clean the cartridges (3) themselves as they were all brand new, just out of the box.
The only way I can use this printer right now was to remove the black cartridge all together and only use the color ink.
I have only had this computer for 3 months so if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi @TracieDawn,
I see that despite your best efforts so far, you can currently only use the printer when you remove the black cartridge and printer with the color ink. I suggest using the following document to troubleshooting the issue, and calling us if the issue persists; HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640 and Officejet 5740, 8040 e-All-in-One Printer Series - A 'Cartridges Missin....
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check. 
I hope this helps.

    Theres almost a trick to it for first time users, goto SETTINGS...General......Cellular (if Verizon) ....Personal Hotspot, turn it on.....turn on wifi on your Mac, select your Iphone.  Enter password.
    If you take too long doing it, youll need turn turn off and on real quick the "personal hotspot" slider on the Phone.......then go quick again thur the Mac.

  • I try everything but the wifi sync doesn't work, please help...

    Hello,
    I tried:
    Restore my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1)
    Check router settings (tried default settings and reset also)
    Check everything in iTunes
    Connect to different wifi
    Upgrade my MacBook Air to Mountain Lion (1.0.8.0)
    ....etc.
    I have everything latest, I read almost everything about it, tried tweaks, but none of this doesn't work.
    When I've got my iPhone connected to Mac through USB with wifi enabled, sync work well...
    Everything worked fine all the time and from day to another it doesn't work anymore.
    It's a pain in the ***, I have already lost my mind. Nothing work.
    I appreciate any help from you guys, thank you very much
    (sorry for english, I'm czech)

    I probably do not understand your question. But try this, maybe this is what you want. Try iCloud on your iPhone.
    Tap Settings App > Wi-Fi > turn it ON. Then go back to Settings and below General tap > iCloud. Make sure your account is there, turn ON what you like and then at bottom select Storage & Backup. Hopefully this will help you.

  • More along the theme of 'itunes doesn't work' please help

    had to upgrade itunes so that my new shuffle would work, however it won't open with no error message other than itunes has experienced a problem. have tried uninstalling/reinstalling etc cannot uninstall quicktime. have even gone into registry to try and get rid of it but to no avail, so, currently unable to use the ipod or access my music. really irritated that apple seem so 'unable' to help. Any ideas???

    okay, let's try the following technique.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • HT201363 I forgot my security question and when I press send it by email it doesn't work please help me

    I forgot my security question and when I try to press send it by email it doesn't work I've tried so many times and I didn't get any email pleas help me fastest as possible , thank you

    It would go to a separate rescue email that is different than your Apple ID.
    If you do not have a rescue email address (different from alternate email address) set up, you forgot it or no longer have it, then you will need to contact iTunes Support online: http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html (select Account Security as your help topic) or by phone: Apple Support Numbers

  • I recently bought an iphone and can't get passed the apple i.d, I have no idea who the previous owner is I just want my phone to work please help.

    I don't know who the previous owner is or how to contact them because I can't see their email address. I spent $200 and just want my phone to work. Is there any way apple can help?

    Your phone is "activation locked". It cannot be used unless this lock is removed by the previous owner of the iPhone. If the seller can't help you then ask for a refund of your money.
    Apple won't help you. Note that the iPhone you bought may well be stolen property..

  • Has there been a way to unregister a phone number so it doesnt get associated with imessage? i've tried the suggestions given in past posts, so far nothing has worked. please help

    There are no products listed on my apple id support.
    I have taken the phone number out of my apple id support, after which i signed out of the imessage and signed back in, but my phone number is still grayed out and ticked.
    also, the sim card isnt even in the phone.
    Does anyone out there actually have a solution for this?

    This cannot happen this is like removing your phone number so no one can call it.

  • How do I tak out the ink cartridge on HP Officejet Pro 8600?

    Need to remove my ink cartridge to buy a set backup.  How do you remove the old cartridge?

    The HP Office Pro 8600 series consists of 3 model variations. I have the Plus version. All functions similiar.
    With the power 'ON', grip the side of the front panel (left handed) just below the HP logo. The entire panel will swing down. The ink cartridge bay will move from the right to the left. Push on the cartridge, and it will pop-out.
    Manual, see pg 13 and 92.    WARNING per HP:    Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are missing.
