What printer?

Have you cleaned the contacts on the back of the ink carts? (usaly for HP printers)

[Foey]

It's a HP psc2175 & it's just had new one's today incase one of them was getting low or something.

IIRC correctly sometimes a HP printers would benefit from a "calibration" after fitting new cartridges, its an option in the HP management software

Have you tried running that ?

[TSM]

The most likley thing is that the contacts are damaged behind the cartridge, other than that it might be a hardware error.
