Reinsert the color cartridge. Give print command for page. Open Preferences in print window. Open the Color tab. Click on Print in Color. (It may have been set for black only.) Try printing.

Hi ,
As you have already tried replacing the ink cartridge , u can try to reset the printer .
Perform a semi-full reset on the all-in-one by following the steps below
1
Take out the cartridges from the unit .
2
Make sure the unit is connected to the wall jack directly without any surge protector.
3
Unplug the power cord from the back of the unit ( without turning off the unit ) .
4
Now press the # and 6 key together , while holding these keys down plug in the power cord back into the unit .
5
Do not release the keys after a few seconds u will find te hp logo or bars moving across the screen .wait while the unit turns off.
6
after one minute turn on the prnter . it will go into alligment phase > let it finish .
7
after its done > try to make a copy .
8 Allow the all-in-one to re-initialize. This may take a minute or two.
9 If prompts appear in the all-in-one display to set the front panel language and country settings, perform the steps to set this information
Note - you can also try the Ok n cancel key combination in place of # and 6 .in case the first combination does not work .
Thanks

I had the same problem, all cartridges lights came on.
I did two things:
1st: I clean the print cartridges plugs with Q-tips, just to insure there wasn't any ink build on the plugs. If you look were the cartridges are, you will see four plugs one for each of the cartridges. Each plug has four contacts. They should be a bright metal color. If they dull in color, they have ink on them. Unplug the printer and pull all the cartridges out and gentlely wipe the the contacts with Q-tips. Re-stall all the cartridges.
Note: The cleaning did not solve my problem but its good maintenance since in was looking for a solution.
2nd: What work for me was I un-stall my printer totally. Turn off the printer then turn off the computer, had a cup of tea, rebooted the computer and re-install the HP cd disk and drivers, turn the printer back on. After I reinstall the software and put the printer back on my network, everything is working fine for the last two days. The lites are off and the HP toolbox is reading the ink cartridges status correctly. I believe that a virus change the printer drives.
