My printer says the color cartridge isn't in right and won't print?

I have a HP deskjet 932C. It has been working fine til now- the blinking orange light comes on above the cartridge icon on the printer when I try to print. Then a dialogue pops up saying the color cartridge isn't in correctly. I re-seated it, bought a new one and still have the same results.


Any suggestions please??My printer says the color cartridge isn't in right and won't print?
Sounds like you either have a bad remanufactured cartidge or the contacts are dirty. Use a Q-tip with water (NOT ALCOHOL) to clean the contacts or both the cartridge and the opposing side in the carriage that holds the cartridge. While you in there, clean the reader strip (clear ribbon running across just behind carriage) as this is the cause of a lot of poor quality and skipping marks on the page. The strip has little lines on it that tell the carriage where it is printing on the page. It gets dirty from ink overspray.My printer says the color cartridge isn't in right and won't print?
Gently clean the contacts of the printer (where the catrige is installed) using a cotton bud and alcohol solution (if you do not have alcohol solution use vodka)
