False empty ink cartridge message

I keep getting an error message stating yellow ink is empty, even though I just installed a brand new HP ink cartridge. There is also ink remaining in the previous yellow cart. Spent almost 3 hrs with HP online chat tech which resulted in them telling me it was a hardware issue and oh, by the way, your warranty expired two months ago. Want to buy a new printer? Have checked for solutions on-line and the best I have been able to do is reset by removing the power cord, holding down the OK and Help buttons while replacing power cord. Will then show yellow cart is almost empty and allow me to print one picture before the empty ink cart message displays again. Can anyone help

There is one fix for the 0x errors and it doesn't always work but this is the only option.

Press and hold the "*" key. Press the "#" key and release both keys.
Display should say "Enter Special Key Combo"
Press and release in sequence the "1", "2" and "3" buttons.
Display should say "Support" and display the FW rev (something like R0631R)
Mine reads R0631M
. Press and release the right arrow button until the display says "System Configuration Menu".
Press and release the "OK" button.
Display should say "Hardware failure status". If not there already, Arrow Key over to "Hardware failure status",
Press and release the "OK" button.
Display should say "Hardware failure status: Clear. Press OK to clear".
Press and release the "OK" Button. Message changes to "Hardware failure status Cleared. Press Cancel to continue".
Press and release the "CANCEL" button as many times as necessary, so that, either the "Welcome to Photosmart Express" screen appears, or, the "Ink System Failure" screen appears. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO PRINT AT THIS STAGE.
Using the Power Button, turn the unit OFF and unplug the power cable from back of the printer and wall outlet.
Wait 30 seconds for the power to get discharged and then plug the power cable into the wall outlet first and then into the back of the printer.
Turn the unit on. The printer may display message "USE POWER BUTTON TO SHUTDOWN THE PRINTER" followed by "PRESS OK TO CONTINUE". Press OK. The Printer will start the "ONE TIME INK INITIALIZATION PROCESS". Allow this process to complete and do not interrupt. Once the initialization process is complete, the printer will print out a Diagnostic Page. Good Luck!

Hello rjjgraphics.
This is a serious hardware issue in the unit and in most cases , the unit needs to be replaced, so there is a less chance of the issue getting resolved.

Thx
All the best

HP 6180 keeps uninstalling itself (or rather disappearing as a printer)

At least once every couple of days, I have to reinstall the printer because it keeps "disappearing" as a printer option. The HP website is no help. Just got an error message for the first time. Said that "HP was aware of the problem" and gave me an option to click for more info. I did and it took me to HP website, but not to any additional information. Suggestions?
