I had a problem with "yellow" cartridge and followed a thread which I now can't find to tell you what I did. Now the printer will print from computer. I can scan to the printer, but cannot scan and print directly from the printer. The message I get reads MFG Ink Threshold Exceeded. DO NOT ship unit in its current state..
Sad to say I know how to fix this.
1. Power up the printer
2. set printer's date to the current day.
3. On the keypad press the * and # keys together
Now press one at a time 1,2,3 for the code
"screen stould display a white backround with 2 lines of info"
4. remove all the print cartridges
5. Press the >> arrow button twice until "reset menu" is found
6. Press OK
7. Select Partially full reset Press ok
( the printer will take almost to minutes before it powers down)
8. Power up the printer and follow the steps.
reinstall ink ect......
I don't know why this happens but I sure a lot of printers are in the trash because of this. If you print out a SELF TEST REPORT the
dates on the age of the ink Cartridges are likely out of life range.
Planned obsolescence by HP can be found all over the web. This could be one of those.

"The instructions were to press * and # at the same time and the screen will say ENTER SPECIAL KEY COMBO. Enter 124 and the screen will now say UNDERWARE. Press the right arrow key - screen now says BOOT CODE MENU. Pres ok - screen now says SET TO MFG MODE. Press okay. Press cancel until you are back to original error message. Turn off printer. Turn back on. Screen will have a black mesh pattern then change to a vertical coloured stripe screen. Press the on button. The screen will say INK THRESHOLD EXCEEDED and under this DO NOT SHIP UNIT IN ITS CURRENT STATE. Print-scan-copy will now work wirelessly."
As I said, I before - I can print from computer (not wireless), scan to computer but cannot use as a copier and print. I figured I didn't have anything to lose by trying this as HP told me my printer was shot and I needed a new printer. I will wait to see if there are any other suggestions, then will try to unistall as suggested below.
I should add that I am unable to turn off the printer. It shuts down, but goes back to the mesh pattern. I need to unplug it each time I am done with it.
New details above.
