What window and what warning? Have you taken out the
cartridge, rocked it back and forth, and inspected the
electrical contacts? Might you have a spare cartridge you
could swap in? Does the problem only happen with it first
printing ok (when printer is cold), then only starts having
trouble after having done a prior job and warmed up? Is the
2nd job always failing, or could you print two jobs in rapid
succession and they'd go through, only after a few moment(s)
had passed would it begin failing to print?

What if you don't touch the printer window, just turn off
the printer then turn back on? And/or then cancel job and
retry it?/

I'd seek a different driver, if the cartridge doesn't seem
bad... if it's under warranty still (and considering same
problem from a 2nd system), you might seek an RMA.

Had it ever worked right and what has happened since then
(if anything)?/
