HI OfficeJet 4650
Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

I keep getting "Remove and reinstall the indicated ink cartridge" error.  I have tried everything.  I have installed two different new HP ink cartridges.  I have removed the cartridge, cleaned the leads with water and a microfiber cloth and plugged back in.  This occasionally works when I print one page and then I get the same error again.  Are these inkjet printers disposable? Should they only last long enough to cycle through one or two print cartridges?
