Check your printer carriage. Mine had a tab from one of the cartridges sticking out, which prevented the carriage from going to home position. (Happened twice with two different cartridges, because the printer was getting weird about recognizing cartridges.)

Also, if your printer doesn't want to recognize a cartridge, try pulling it out, cleaning the contacts and drying them with a paper towel, and re-inserting them. (Making sure they're clicked in properly.)
