Yes this is the problem. Sometimes printers get picky about the cartridges that are in. This has happened to me many times where I bought knockoff ink cartridges and they worked for a while and then I would refill them but eventually the printer would stop reading them. So I would go to the store buy a real manufacturer cartridge and voila! It solved the problem. I am sure this is your issue. Cheers.
