26.0:01 is a bad contact in the Ink Supply System for the yellow ink cartridge. (This can be caused by using non HP OEM ink)

Check that the ISS to Cartridge cable is not damaged and is fully connected to the Ink Supply Tubes PCA.
You can also try switching the magenta contacts with the yellow contacts and see if the problem stays with the yellow, or you now have a magenta problem.
If the problem stays with the yellow, then you will need to replace the Ink Supply Tubes and Trailing Cable.
If the problem moves to the magenta, then you just need to repair or replace the contacts (may just need cleaned)

Good luck !

(My money is on bad compatible or refilled yellow ink cartridges)

the print heads well (8 times) and insert it.

If there is no problem with the print heads .......

Comes up with the msg for cartridges.Shake the
print cartridges well (8 times) and insert them.

If there is no error message regarding the alignment failure.
Turn the printer off and turn it on.

This should begin the with the initialization process of the printer.

This may fix the problem.

Please revert back if you have any problem.

SOURCE: False empty ink cartridge message

Here is one of the solution for the issue.

check if the serial number of the printer starts with MY66xxxxxx, MY67xxxxxx, or MY68xxxxxx. If your printer has a combination of any one of the above mentioned serial number, then try to replace the ink cartridge and you can replace the printer if it is covered under warranty.

The yellow ink sensor could be corroded and giving a false message.

SOURCE: Keep getting replace yellow ink cartridge error message

Hi,

Where did you get the error message on printer or computer?

If you get the message on printer remove all cartridges and reinsert the cartridges and align the ink cartridges. If the alignment page prints successfully then the problem is resolved.

If you get the message on the computer disconnect the usb from computer. uninstall the software and reinstall the full feature software by selecting connect USB later.

I'm getting a 98.15.02 error from an HP 4000. Any

Hi this what HP say about this.

Explanation A backup printmode is being used due to bad printhead quality or health, as a result there is lower performace in printing. Recommended action One or more printheads have too many nozzles out and should be replaced. Replace the faulty printhead. You may have to print the Image Quality Diagnostics print in order to identify the faulty printhead. Try printing a square made up of each colour, so one Cyan, one Magenta etc to indentify which head is causing the problem. then you can soak the head in IPA to clear out any dried ink, this may stop you having to buy another head. Also please please DO NOT use compatible inks as they are damaging to your machine even if they claim not to be, think about it HP would never sell the patent to their inks it wouldnt make sense they would loose money, so allways use originals.
