According to the user guide, the problem you're experiencing could be due to the following:
Print cartridge access door might be open.
• Close the access door.
Print cartridges might be missing or not installed properly.
• Re-insert the print cartridges and make sure they are properly seated.
There might be a problem with the print cartridge.
• Close the access door. If the light continues to blink, one of the print cartridges is defective.
Do the following:
1) Remove the black (or photo) print cartridge.
2) Close the access door.
If the "check print cartridge" light blinks, the tri-color print cartridge is defective and must be replaced.
If the light does not blink, the black (or photo cartridge) is defective.
In all probability, the contacts on the contact ribbon are not
connecting properly. Take a common pencil eraser and rub lightly across
the contacts on the ribbon to remove any contaminants or debris.
Check the contacts inside the cartridge carrier to ensure that they're not dirty, bent or broken.
You should also inspect the carrier itself. If the plastic frame is
cracked or broken and the cartridge can wobble around, it will usually
install without any trouble but when you close the access door the
carriage immediately moves back into print-ready position. The
cartridge will shift and break its' connection. This will cause these
types of errors as well.
If it's cracked or broken, go and get a new printer.
