It may be some reasons:

1. Cartridge incorrectly changed. Just be sure to remove and set the new cartridge correctly.
2. No good connection. Sometimes ink spills on the cartridge connectors OR the protective plastic still set on the cartridge. Clean the connectors with a soft cloth and be sure to remove the plastics - see installation guide on cartridge.
3. No procedure was done. To change a cartridge correctly, some printers require a procedure for it, be sure to read the user manual how to change cartridge.

Other non-common issues: bad new cartridge, faulty printer, software or firmware glitch, etc,

If you have changed the cartridge check the Number

if not then remove the cartridge and clean the contacts of both printer and cartridge

This happend to me you need to install new firmware for this trust me it works.

Hey!

Are you using Jet Tec ML32 Cartridge re-manufactured cartridges or genuine Lexmark Cartridge?

If it is the Jet Tec cartridge then it is known to be faulty - purchase a Lexmark cardridge and you should be fine.

If it is the Lexmark Cardridge then I would recommend taking all of the cartridges out, turning the printer off (from the power), turning it back on, inserting the cartridges again and checking if it works.

If none of the solutions work, then your cartridge is damaged and should be replaced.

Cheers,

HP Color LaserJet 2600n Printer - Installing Print Cartridges When a print cartridge approaches the end of useful life, the control panel displays a message recommending that to order a replacement. The printer can continue to print using the current print cartridge until the control panel displays a message instructing to replace the cartridge. The printer uses four colors and has a different print cartridge for each color: black (K), cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y). Replace a print cartridge when the printer control panel displays one of the following messages: Replace yellow cartridge, Replace magenta cartridge, Replace cyan cartridge, Replace black cartridge. The control panel display also indicates the color that should be replaced (unless a genuine HP cartridge is not currently installed). Change the print cartridge

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the front door. CAUTION: Do not place anything on the transfer belt (ETB), which is located on the inside of the front door.
3. Remove the used print cartridge from the printer.
4. Remove the new print cartridge from the bag. Place the used print cartridge in the bag for recycling.
5. Grasp both sides of the print cartridge by the blue handles and distribute the toner by gently rocking the print cartridge from front to back. CAUTION: Do not touch the shutter or the surface of the roller.
6. Remove the orange shipping locks and the orange shipping tape from the new print cartridge. Discard the shipping tape and shipping locks according to local regulations.
7. Align the print cartridge with the tracks inside the printer, and using the handles, insert the print cartridge until it is firmly seated.
8. Firmly close the front door.
9. Turn on the printer. After a short time, the control panel should display Ready.
   NOTE: If a cartridge is in the wrong slot or is the wrong type for the printer, the control panel will display one of the following messages: Incorrect yellow, Incorrect magenta, Incorrect cyan, Incorrect black.
10. Installation is complete. Place the used print cartridge in the box in which the new cartridge arrived. See the enclosed recycling guide for recycling instructions.
11. If a non-HP print cartridge is in the printer, check the printer control panel for further instructions.
    NOTE: When replacing or changing a black print cartridge, a cleaning page will automatically print. This helps prevent speckles on the front or back of printed documents. A cleaning page can also be generated using the control panel or the HP Toolbox.

Many newer HP Printers internally keep track of your cartridges by a serial number embedded into the cartridge. When it's low, the printer remembers. This is entirely done within the printer itself, and not the printer software. Some printers EXPIRE the cartridges after 18 months according to the installation date even it is not empty.

Outrageous, but true.

A fix? Most HP printers will only keep 2 cartridges in memory, so if you have 2 extra cartridges, (even empty ones) you could cycle them through to reset the printers memory, and reset the ink level to full. Basically, even though you've refilled your cartridge, the printers has the cartridge's serial number stored in memory. This will reset it.
