New tri-color cartridge will not print and error on screen says "contact manufacturer."
SOURCE: HP J4500 color cartridge error
Take the cartridge out and clean the contacts off with something (ie: pencil eraser, your thumb...) That worked for me! I couldn't find a solution anywhere even after chatting with online tech support from HP. Quick and painless! I hope this helps...

I discovered on mine, exact same problem, I opened the tray, removed the cartridge, and forced it back in hard and fast. It didn't work the first 12 times but after that, it got a solid connection and it worked. Works fine now. Anyway that's the problem and the problem isn't the cartridge (genuine hp cart here). The problem is on the printer side, the pins that hit the cartridge. Anyway get rough with it, slam it in and out, close the tray, if it doesn't work within 5 seconds, open the tray and do it again. It WILL work.

Hi,
The following may work: remove all the ink supplies. Remove the printhead and soak it for about 5 minutes in 0.5" of very hot water. Gently blot the printhead on a soft damp paper towel to remove the excess water, then replace in the printer and then reinstall the ink supplies.

the official solution, which probably won't work since you did most if not all of it already: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01818839&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3645097#N636
the unofficial solution, which will be more likely to work: http://www.land.netonecom.net/tlp/ref/letters/hpPrinters.php
perhaps the worst thing about HP is that they do not even mention the chip timeouts in their troubleshooting instructions.
