That sounds really weird!

When the colours changed so drastically from the old to the new cartridge it's a good chance that
there is something wrong with your new one and you haven't got a new but (wrongly) re-filled
cartridge.

Is the HP51649A suitable for your DJ 610C at all?

Are all cartridge contacts - and their counterparts - clean?

What makes you believe there is something wrong with the printer's cpu?
And since you've mentioned it besides the `printer itself',
is it exchangeable like the ink cartridge(s)? 8-)

How do the other primary colours (cyan and magenta) appear?
Doesn't your printer print a test-page after you've changed the ink cartridge?
