No, you do not need 3 cartridges or anything like that. Some cartridges have chips. Yours do not. If the light keeps blinking it means that one of the electrical contacts on the cartridge has blown and now the printer doesn't recognize it. Try printing something, you will get a message "problem with color cartridge" or "color cartridge missing". That means that the printer doesn't recognize it. I suggest you buy a new one. Or, if you have an old one, try putting it in and see if the light still blinks.

try replacing the cartridge with a new one.

If the Resume light continues to blink and the print cartridge cradle does not move to the right side of the printer, try these solutions:

• Remove and reinstall the print cartridges. Verify that the print cartridges are in the print cartridge cradle before pushing them forward into position.
• Verify that no obstruction prevents the print cartridge cradle from moving freely on the rod.
• Verify that the vinyl tape has been removed from each of the print cartridges.

If the problem persists, contact HP Customer Care.

Printer manufacturers include chips inside the catridges.When the same cartridge is used the printer reads the chip and finds that you have refilled the cartridge and returns the error. The simplest way to get around is to have have 3 empty cartridges and rotating them one after the other. This way you can fool the printer and get around the check!

Hi pmerriwether

One of your cartridges have a problem (is empty)
If you have replaced the black cartridge and still get the error replace the color cartridge aswell.

apply two or three drops of 3 in 1 oil to top of the big silver rod (inside printer cover)on which the ink cartridges ride.

UNPLUG RESTART AND Print
