The expiration date should not be of any problem. When the printer has an issue with the cartridge, it could be the contacts in the printer or on the print head are not clean or shiny. It looks as a communication problem. When the printer does not give an error, you just won't get black the hear must be cleaned.
OR when cleaning does not help we need a hefty measure.
When the print head is not on the cartridge, and cleaning does not work, remove the cartridge and let a drop of cleaning fluid fall in the nozzle, where the ink should go in. place the cartridge back and let the printer print a few pages of black. (just some text pages with black bold type face would do. Let it print till you see the printer is starting to show text, Then again do a clean cartridge and the printer should be fine for a while.
common problem on this equipement
do try this if you already cleaned head contact on cartridges with no success

Same thing just happened to my fairly new 7520 Hp.
I shut my machine first with the shut off button and then unplugged
it for about 5 minutes. Sounds like you tried this and I believe this did not work for me either so I just went into the HP official site and downloaded my printer again. Downloading your printer from their
site is easy and quick instead using the cd. It automatically removed my old printer and installed the printer again. The problem has not returned.
Another problem I just had and because I think one of my new
cartridges (yellow) is somehow damaged. I got a black line down
my pages with a note that my yellow ink is missing. Had black line only when printing and not copying. I reinserted the yellow ink and took a light damp qtip and slightly wiped the machine screen on each ink cartridge.(this screen meets the new opening from each
new cartridge. The black line left.
Hope this helps.

Check at the cartridge end of the machine. I found a piece of paper jambed in that kept the carrige from parking on the right side. I had to turn off printer. take the paper trqy out and turn the machine on it's right side and use a flashlight to find it and get it out.
The error means
PrintHead Failure / Ink system Failure
Hardware error
Try removing the printhead (If removable) and clean the contacts on it, if it doesn't works there are no ways to fix this error

"screen stould display a white backround with 2 lines of info"
4. remove all the print cartridges
5. Press the >> arrow button twice until "reset menu" is found
6. Press OK
7. Select Partially full reset Press ok
( the printer will take almost to minutes before it powers down)
8. Power up the printer and follow the steps.
reinstall ink ect......
I don't know why this happens but I sure a lot of printers are in the trash because of this. If you print out a SELF TEST REPORT the
dates on the age of the ink Cartridges are likely out of life range.
Planned obsolescence by HP can be found all over the web. This could be one of those.

Press the helpfull Thanks!!!!
Check the to make sure you didn't choose the option print to file.... shut down the computer, unplug the printer wait 30 seconds ( if wire less then unplug the modem as well and check the connections by removing wires and re inserting) make sure the ink cartage is seated and door closed, power it up, power up the modem, power up the computer, clean memory and try again... should work.... and check for paper..
