    couple of things could be the problem here

    1 The contact connection strip could be dirty or damaged try cleaning the pins on the printer ink slot and wipe off any dirt around the contacts (baby wipes or rubbing alcohol)

    2 Sometimes the cardridge is not designed to be used more than once and will trip and command set by the company to not use that cartridge again

    If No.2 is the problem then u will have to replace the cartridge but there might be a little hack/trick to override cartridge command to fool it in to thinking its a new cartridge ( you will have to research that)

    but the best work around for that problem is to leave the cartridge in the slot and make a hole in the top and fill it that way without removing it

    i hope No.1 solves your problem for you
