HP LaserJet P1006: cartridge error

Hi,

In the past September I purchased a brand new HP LaserJet P1006. It has printed only 200 pages using the introductory cartridge which was part of the whole.
Every now and then I see the following error message reported by Windows Vista, XP and (7 RC) (32-bit): "Cartridge Memory Error on Black. Unable to read cartridge data. Any printer repair required as a result of using cartridges with unreadable cartridge data is not covered under warranty. Supply status and features depending on supply status will not be available. "

The introductory cartridge is a genuine one so I wonder why such a message as above.
The cable used to connect the printer with my computer has a length of 1.8 m. and is a quality product.

The printer itself installs fine and the HP Diagnostic Utility didn't inform of any trouble.
According to the manufactures, with the HP introductory cartridge I should have printed approximately 700 pages.

 

Found this at HP support forums.

I guess I'll try contacting HP customer support ...
