Hi Bhavin, If you are sure your cartridges is OK, pls check you cartridges circuit, small pins that connected with head case maybe dirty, take alcohol in tissue and clean the pins. I suggest you to testing your cartridges on other printer to make sure the cartridges is fine. The error message is appear because the printer can not detect any cartridges. one more, you cross check with other cartridges that worked fine in the other printer, try the cartridges in your printer.
