HP C6280 has false error for empty Light Cyan Cartridge

I am getting realy fed up with my C6280 printer! I have an error saying that the ink Cartridge Light Cyan is empty or removed (But I just put a brand new one in and it is full). I have tried removing and reinstalling the new cartridge many times to no avail.
You can see by looking at the new cartridge that it is making electrical contact on with all four pins too.
What do you do with it?
This printer has only had the black replaced once and the Light Cyan today and is like new otherwise!

My C6280 printer says the black is empty but it is

Dear Sir,

Printer doesn't identify the ink accurately all these are controlled by software only.So it is showing your black cartridge is empty but trace amount of ink actually remained,by this you are getting black and white prints correctly.After the consumption of that trace amount of ink it may print black text as a greenish-brown because printing taking place only by means of color cartridges.So if you observed blurred text or greenish-brown text, now you can replace your ink cartridges.

i think it helps

good luck

You must replace all cartridges with new GENUINE HP carts to get a sucessful alignment.

This is how HP makes their money.

Ink empty cyan

Have you replaced the cartridge containing the cyan color in your printer?

You can deplete a single color. But if you think it is a false error message, I would try cleaning loose ink from the tray and cartridge itself. Especially on the contact areas. Brother printers are inexpensive and work well for small jobs, but ultimately jam, clog, and sometimes even break when run hard or doing large volumes.
