Remove & Reinstall Cartridges Error persisting after Firmware update

[Kingfiz]

Since updating Firmware, my printer is consistently displaying the following error "Remove and Reinstall the indicated ink cartridge, making sure it is correctly installed and then touch OK".   

Per HP guidance, I have repeatedly removed and reinstalled the indicated cartridge. 

I have replaced the cartridge (which is half full) with a brand new one - same error.

I am using HP genuine cartridges as i use the HP Instant service.

Per HP Guidance on website, I have cleaned the cartridge and printer contacts and powered off per HP guidance.

When I left the printer powered down overnight, it printed 2 pages.  I clean the printer heads successfully.

Then error recurred!

Is there anything else you can suggest?  I am pulling my hair out here and it makes me loathe to install updates in the future if they potentially brick the printer. 

Should I perform a factory reset but then how does this impact my HP Instant account?
