In such an instance the only course of action is to try another cartridge.

Try Another Cartridge: It may be that the cartridge in question has a genuine electronic fault that can not be detected with a visual examination.

Some of these contacts in these printers are raised/pointed and I would advise using caution to ensure scraps of tissue are not left inside the printer obscuring the contacts further. If you can see these electronic contacts and they are easily accessible, clean them with the method mentioned above to ensure they are also clean.

Wipe Contacts Inside the Printer: If the cartridge contacts mentioned in the previous point are clean, it may be that the corresponding contacts inside the printer are obscured and stopping your printer from recognising the cartridge.

I would recommend wiping them down even if no dirt is visible and using alcohol based cleaning solution or cartridge flush for any stubborn marks that could be stopping the cartridge from being recognised. Ensure the gold contacts on this chip are not physically damaged, then wipe them down with a piece of non-fibrous tissue like kitchen roll. Firstly remove the indicated cartridge from the printer and locate the chip.

Check/Wipe Cartridge Contacts: A common cause of the “Cartridge Problem” message is the gold contacts found on an electonic chip on the body of the HP cartridge being obscured with dirt/ink or even physically having been damaged.
