Ink Cartridge Status While Replacing

The printer can report the following status messages while the Ink Cartridge is being replaced:
Missing
The Ink Cartridge has not been installed or is installed incorrectly. The Printer will not print until ALL Ink Cartridges have been installed correctly.
Reseat
The Ink Cartridge is having continuity problems. Try removing the Ink Cartridge from the Printer and inserting it in again.
Replace
The Ink Cartridge is faulty and needs to be replaced before the printer can continue printing.
Unknown
The Ink Cartridge installed is not approved but the user has confirmed that he is using refilled or non-hp Ink Cartridges. Refer to the User's Guide for further information regarding using refilled or non-hp approved Ink Cartridges.
The main actions for all 4 status messages is as follows:
1. Reseat the Ink Cartridge.
2. If reseating does not resolve the status message, replace the Ink Cartridge.
3. If the Status messages continue to appear, even after replacing the Ink Cartridge, replace the Ink Supply Tubes and Trailing Cable.
