Hello.
Unfortunately there is no way around this. It is a feature of the printer to stop any air reaching the tubes to the print head from the cartridge, plus a way of making you buy more ink!
If quality is not an issue search on E-bay or a computer fair/market for some cheap compatible cartridges. I have seen them from $10-$20 each
I hope this helps Regards

My printer screen says
The ink is contained in a cartridge.

Note that "backup" printing mode mixes colours, to produce "black", because the "black" ink-cartridge has failed.

So, replace the BLACK ink-cartridge.

Ink and Print issues always says replace blk and yellow ink and printer says its ready to print but won't print on HP Photosmart C6180
If you have replaced them and it still says so than it is not reading the chip on the back of the cartridge. push and wiggle the cartridge and see if there is a change. If you do a lot of printing and are tired of getting screwed by HP look at the refillable carts on this page "http://www.inksupply.com/inkjet_cartridges.cfm?search_getmodel=982" . Just never use any other brand of ink. cheap ink will kill the printer.

C6180 failed alignment test, will not print color properly
All colors need to be present to pass alignment. Usually what I see is the yellow is empty. You can blot the print cartridge on a damp paper towel to verify the inks are working and this also cleans the head.

HP Photosmart C5280 printer - 1 month old not printing correctly
Usually this problem is indicative of a clogged nozzle. I'm not sure about the track record of the Photosmart C5280 (a lot of Epson printers have this problem, and you just have to keep replacing the ink cartridges). I'm going to assume you tried this, but go ahead and run a few cleaning cycles on the printer, and see what happens.

Remove the black cartridge from the all-in-one and clean the copper contacts of the cartridge with a soft cotton cloth and then try to align the cartridges once and then try to print the self-test page. Also check the ink level and expiry date present on the cartridge.
