- Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your solution worked.
2 possible problems.
1 cartridge faulty or just needs a wipe
2 carriage ribbon damaged
Take the cartridge out and gently rub the gold contacts on the side with a piece of tisue. This might clear it. Take a look at the cartridge carriage in the printer and make sure the ribbon where all the gold contacts meet up with the contacts on the cartridge is not damaged in any way. sometimes the little metal spring which holds the cartridge pierces the ribbon at the back of the carriage and then the printer is unserviceable.
if rubbing the cartridge does not work and the ribbon is not damaged then assume you have a faulty cartridge - rare but it does happen

i have replaced the ink toners with the ones you refill and replaced the correct chips on each one. the red light comes on to replace the toner, I open the lid take out the toner that it is telling me give it a quick shake replace and the light will turn green again, only to turn to red after the 2nd printout it switches color suggestions every time at other times it will ask me to replace the waste toner tank which I have taken out and cleaned and put it back in place. Do I need to get a new waste toner tank? Do I need to get the toners that are not refillable?
