    HP7410 - Remove and check color cartridge
    I have a HP7410 All in one printer for about 3 years (No Warranty). Recently replaced the color cartridge, now I keep getting the message "Remove and check color cartridge", I have done that even bought another cartridge only to have the same problem. Any ideas?

    Seems to be common with this model

    Try this first
    reach behind the ink cartridge housing and press the ribbon cables to ensure they were properly seated,
    Check if the wire has ripped the printhead contacts.
    If it has then your machine is not repairable.

    Could be the contacts gone bad.

    The Fix For Hp Psc 2510 And Other Similar...
    Good luck finding the Fix anywhere, even on HP's website...

    THE FIX: I have a HP PSC2510, similar to all the other PCSs out there, and I was getting 'all-of-a-sudden' this message: 'ERROR-Remove and check color cartridge'. AND I did everything imaginable to fix except spend money.

    Turns out that the 'color' cartridge was not really the whole issue. It turns out that HP hard-coded in an expiration date on my inks! Uh, yaay HP... That's right, at exactly 4 years from the date on the cartridges everything stops printing period, end of story.

    The reason my replacement of the 'color' cartridge did not work was because the same 'color' error keeps coming up until I replaced the old dated 'black' ink TOO. Uh, yaay HP...

    Boogles the mind, but you will keep getting 'color' errors until you replace all inks to be newer than 4 years from date on cartridges.

    HP even made some Driver Patches to fix this expiration crap when everyone was complaining about their plans for world-domination, but has since gone back to the tactics of forcing you to buy new inks.

    So, Check your dates, use them or lose them HP consumers! =)
