Printer Failure. There is a problem with the printer or ink system....

[Josiah8]

For HP Officejet Pro 8600 All-in-One ink jet. This model released in 2011. Not sure when I bought it. The printer is lightly used appx every 2-3 weeks.
All error messages refer to the yellow ink.
1) 8/21/23. Turned on printer and it displayed basically-> "ink cartridge depleted for the yellow ink". So I removed Lemero yellow cartridge (note: Lemero makes refilled cartridges). Replaced it with a previously used HP yellow cartridge. "Depleted cartridge" error message was gone; replaced by normal display(print, copy, scan).So I made a black text copy. The copy looked good. I turned printer OFF and back ON and the "ink cartridge depleted for the yellow" was back.
2) 9/21/23. Removed old HP yellow cartridge and replaced it with a FULL Lemero yellow; and got "Empty ink cartridge….Original HP…for the yellow" error message. I think the empty HP yellow was still in the printer's memory.
3) 10/2/23 Turned ON printer and it displayed "ink cartridge depleted-yellow". I removed the FULL Lemero yellow cartridge and replaced it with a FULL LD Products yellow cartridge (LD Products is another cartridge company). Printer accepted the LD yellow cartridge. The "ink cartridge depleted " was gone; and replaced by normal (Print, copy...) display. So I made 2 black text copies. Again, the copies were good. The printer seemed fixed. I powered OFF. However, later powered ON to make some on-line printouts with the computer on. After the printer was powered ON it automatically did the printer preparation cycle, and when the cycle was complete it displayed "Printer Failure. There is a problem with the printer or ink system...." Please note I have seen this error message in the past. It always meant that a cartrige was depleted and simply needed replacement.
4) 10/7 Removed FULL LD yellow cartridge and replaced with a second FULL LD yellow cartridge. The printer accepted the second LD yellow; the "printer failure" message was gone. To test the printer I made some color copies with an emphasis on yellow colors. The color copies were fine except the yellow did not match the originals. Solid yellow backgrounds on the originals showed on the copies as lighter, or yellow lines instead, or not at all. One copy of a post card with yellow looked fine. After the 9th color copy the "printer failure...." error message suddenly returned.
Please provide the likely cause for the "Printer Failure" error message, and the solution? As noted above when I change the yellow cartridge it will work effectively, but only temporarily.
Thanks.
