I had recently found myself in a similar situation. This is where a
bit of ingenuity comes in handy. The reason for the message is that
their isn't contact between the printer and the cartridge. The only
solution is to put something between the the latch and the front of
the ink cartridge to force the cartridge all the way back to make
contact with the connector in the back.

I suggest a small piece of paper folded three or four times, try
different thicknesses to see which works best. It might take a couple
times but it'll work after that.

So, remember the latch is poorly designed so the cartridge isn't
pushed all the way back to make contact with the connector in the back
so it doesn't work, its really a hardware problem not software or
fault ink cartridge.
