I changed one ink cartridge now the printer is to not seeing any of them
SOURCE: where is the ink cartridge?
With the power on to machine and it turned on, open scanner lid by lifting entire top upwards(operations panel lifts up), cartridge mechanism should move to the left to allow cartridge removal, push cartridges down to remove.

SOURCE: Expired ink cartridge
You may be getting this error message due to the printer being able to tell that it is a non-hp cartridge. I don't know how it can tell, but mine says that too. I uninstalled the software and then reinstalled the software. And then I took out the cartridge and put it back in. See if this works for you.
SOURCE: CHANGING INK CARTRIDGES
For all printers I'm familiar with, it should be on. Some won't even move the carrier (the sliding thing the ink carts go in) over to where you can get to it if you open the cover with the power off. And you'll want to print an alignment page after replacing a cart too or your printout may be blurry (most printers will prompt you to do that after you close the lid).

Hi,
I might have an idea why this is happening....The print cartridges
might need cleaning...
Follow the steps below to do this....
Step one: Remove the
black, photo print cartridge, or the gray photo print cartridge
NOTE:
The black, photo print
cartridge, or the gray photo print cartridge is in the right side of the
carriage. -Lower the cover of the
product.
-If the print cartridge
status light flashes, proceed to Step two: Replace the print cartridge.
If the print cartridge
status light is off, proceed to Step three: Manually clean the print cartridge.
Step two: Replace the
black, photo print cartridge, or the gray photo print cartridge and remove the
tri-color print cartridge
- Remove plastic tape from new ink carttridge
CAUTION:
Do not touch the print
cartridge ink nozzles or copper contacts. Touching these parts will result in
clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections. Do not remove the copper
electrical contacts.
NOTE:
The tri-color print
cartridge is in the left side of the carriage.
-Lower the cover of
the product.
-If the print
cartridge status light stops flashing, proceed to Step three: Manually clean
the print cartridge.
If the print cartridge
status light still flashes, replace the tri-color print cartridge. If the issue
continues, service the product.
Step three: Manually
clean the print cartridge
1. Gather the following
items to clean the print cartridge and carriage:
o Clean distilled water.
Use bottled or filtered water if distilled water is not available. Tap water
can contain contaminants that damage the cartridge.
o Clean cotton swabs or
any soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the cartridges (coffee
filters work well).
o Sheets of paper or a
paper towel to rest the cartridges on during cleaning.
2. Open the product
cover, and wait until the carriage stops moving.
3. Remove the print
cartridge, and place it on a piece of paper with the nozzle plate facing up.
NOTE:
Clean the contacts
quickly so that the print cartridge is not outside of the product for more than
30 minutes. If the cartridge is outside of the product for too long, the ink
can dry and clog the nozzles.
4. Unplug the product.
5. Dip a swab in the
clean water, and then squeeze it to remove most of the moisture. The swab
should be only slightly damp.
6. Clean the print
cartridge contacts. Do not touch the nozzles.
7. Clean the contacts in
the carriage, inside the product.8. Either let the print
cartridge sit for ten minutes to allow the cleaned area to dry, or use a new
swab to dry it.
9. Reinstall the print
cartridge.
10. Plug the product back
in.
11. Close the product
cover.
Good Luck!
If there is anything more I can do for you please let me know if not and the problem is solved please rate it, Thanks, JCE

Hi,
With these types of printers they will use all 4 colors to make black unless you configure it other wise. The link below will take you to the printers support page. In the box that says "please enter your question" type "how to use only 1 black ink". it will give you top results, just click #1 and it click on your operating system. Follow the instructions given and that should take care of it. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

I have a similar problem after changing two cartridges. The printer doesn't recognise the new cartridges and I get an error code E02 even though they are properly seated.
I have the same problem with my printer. I've changed two ink cartridges, however the printer isn't recognising them and I get an error code E02, indicating that the cartridges aren't properly inserted.
