Actually if the printer didnot work with the above answer which are written.you should do the following;1-take the catridge out and if it is empty,you can inject 3cc of ink slowly on the sponge of the cateidge, and replace it again then restart the printer.2-if this doesnot work,take the catridge out n replace it several times each time tune the printer on and off.3-the final solution is that,take the whole catridges out n clean the sponges of them which put in the ground of the printer ,then replace then again. Hope these work.
If the printer says the cartridges are empty, and will not let you print, just hold down the stop/reset button on the printer. That should clear the error.
