Before you throw it out, simulate a cartridge change again.  The red light
on beside the colour icon means that the printer thinks that the colour
cartridge is empty.  The printer's counter wasn't reset with the last
cartridge change.

Hold down the button under the picture of the ink drops until the
cartridges come over to the changing position.  Lift the lid on the colour
cartridge and close it down again.  Then push the button again until the
printer makes noise.  This will reset the counter.  Yes you shouldn't open
the cartridge holder until the ink is empty.  But if you're getting rid of
the printer otherwise, give it a try.
