Hi i bought a new hp ink tank 319 it did good in start but now it shows a problem with colour printhead by showing a blinking light on it . i took out the printhead cleaned it gently with a tissue and put it back but the error persists when i print a diagnostic colour test page it shows all C M Y K colours but the printhead light blinks and won't let me print anything else. My guess it is not physically damaged but locked on software level can anybody help me with that.

My printer is. Hp ink tank 319. Thank you

Yes i cleaned both on the printer(golden pins) and print head(golden pins and the ink exit holes)
And i never use the colour one i only use the black one. i just prints a page in colour once a week so it would not dry . when it first gave me an error then i pressed the buttons on the printer in a combination so it would print a diagnostics page it was missing Yellow so i cleaned the head by using a suction with an syringe đź’‰ and restarted the printer . but still there was the error but then i pressed the buttons to print the diagnostics page now this time it printed every colour. C M Y K but the error is still there and i can't use the printer. My printer is ink tank so it's never low on ink i always maintain the ink level in ink tank

I already tried all these methods before coming gere . but nothing works. And now it suddenly put A on lcd screen and a alignment page printed i put it on scanner and it scanned but it failed i tried to do these steps from pc software it always print a alignment page but when i scanned it says try again. In frustration i turned the printer off and went to sleep when i woke up and turned on the printer again it still says A. And i cancelled it with x button and everything went back to normal now i had a working printer but after 10 b&w prints the colour printhead again gave an error in form of blinking lights on the colour head. And now its not working. Pls help i dont want to spend 40$(as of conversion rates ) on new heads.
