HP Officejet 6500 e709a: ink system failure

I just ordered a new print head due to the failure of the error ink system I get is after exhausting all other avenues that HP offered the extent of troubleshooting.  How HP can justify pricing $75.00 for a printhead on a printer that sells for $150.00 is beyond me, but this is neither here nor there.

My question is this: is it possible to use other functions (scanning, fax) while I wait for the part to arrive?  This is a printer of business and these functions are essential for operations on the day the day.  Beings it is Saturday may save some of the headaches.

Hello @MattNC79 ,

I hope you are well!

If the printer is in an error state, like her application the print head must be installed, or there is another message that has the printer, you probably won't be able to perform all the other functions. The best thing to do is try to do what you want to do and see if it works.

  • HP Officejet 6500 E709n: HP Officejet 6500 E709n - ink system failure error message.

    I have a printer HP Officejet 6500 E709n.  I get the following error message when I turn on the printer:

    'Ink system failure.  "Please turn printer off, then on.

    I then do as instructed and turn the printer off, but then the whenever I re - turn on the printer, I get the same error again.  The printer is now fixed to the top and none of the buttons on the printer works except the Power button on / off.

    Any suggestions on how to proceed?

    Hi @recooke,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you can not use your HP Officejet 6500 Wireless. You get a printer fault to "turn printer off and then on again" you did without success.

    Please perform a hard reset:

    1. disconnect all cables and cards of memory in the printer.  Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer when the printer is still on.

    2. unplug the other end of the power cord.

    3. If there is a power supply on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
        
    4. at the end of 60 seconds, plug it directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup).
        
    5. connect the power cord to the back of the printer.
        
    6. the printer should automatically power back upward.  If not, turn it on with the power button.

    7. try to make a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in one) before you connect the cables from the printer.

    8. connect the other cables needed to the printer.

    It is recommended that the printer is plugged directly into a wall socket to ensure a uniform level of power.  Sometimes, when plugged into a surge protector or battery backup, the quantity of electricity is not received by the printer.  Power problems can cause printing problems.  It is particularly important to be plugged directly into a wall outlet with wireless connectivity problems, "sleep mode" and other power problems.

    Any change?

    If you still see the error, please check your Inbox. I sent you a private message on the Forums.

    Response with the result. I hope this helps.

    Hi CHCA. Your Officejet 6500 must be out of warranty? You can doublecheck the warranty status of your printer here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/weInput?cc=ie & lc = on -if it is still under warranty, you should not pay for a new printheaad.

    But if your printer is no longer under warranty, you buy one a. The part that you really need to order an Officejet 6500, is CN643A. If you are in the United States, here are the HP part store page where you can order the new print head Assembly: http://h20141.www2.hp.com/HPPARTS/Search_Results.aspx?mscssid=C580393F30964EDD82B16A5C641BEC41 & Searchin' PartNumber = & SearchPN = CN643A

    If you are not in the United States, start from this page: http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/wwhowtobuy.html , specify your country and search for CN643A.

  • ink system failure officejet 6500

    make system failure ink on officejet 6500, changed the cartridges, activated and deactivated

    I am writing to everyone affected by a FAILURE of the SYSTEM of INK message.  I use a 6500 and my wife has a wide 7500 a carrige. The 7500 had an ink system failure. I tried everthing recommended with no luck.  My wife needs a printer to work more than I do, I went to get out them.  Given that the power supplies are the same I have left in place.  Guess what?  The 6500 came with an ink SYSTEM FAILURE as soon as it was powered by the power of 7500.  I changed the power supply and everything works fine.  I tested the 7500 on feeding of 6500 and no ink system failure more.   I have not measured the voltage on the power supply that seems to cause the ink system failure, but I recommend you try a new power supply before you buy a new print head.  Check ebay and amazon for a nice price.

    Hope this helps someone else.

  • HP Officejet 6600 e-all-in-one printer - H711a/H711g 'Ink system failure', will not print computer

    At first, it was just a problem with do not print from the computer.  Error messages had to do with the failure of the print head or do not find print head, etc..  After going through several different controls online, download the scans, etc., it does not at all, print showing an error message "ink system failure".  I tried to remove and reinsert the 4 printheads (black 932, 933 colors) and turning market and check the caps and unplug the power.  Since this is a wireless network, I can't unplug the USB.  It was the OK signal.  Now, with this error message, I don't see the home screen printer controls.  It just says: put it on and then contact HP.  Help, please.  Very frustrated (it didn't happen all at once - a first he wouldn't print from the computer sometimes, other times.)

  • OfficeJet 7500 has E910, "ink system failure".

    I have 2 Office jet 7500 a E910; I get 'ink system failure', the other works well; I take the printhead that is OK, I put it in the other: 'ink system failure '; I just got back from the other unit and no problem. I tried to unplug and reconect, same error. I tried to reset the printer, the same mistake; I cleaned with cleaning paper for lenses from contacts inside the print head holder, same error. What more is needed?

    Hey there!

    Thanks for getting back to me!

    I understand that the question much better now thank you for the clarification. So the problem is with the 1 printer, you take the printhead of the printer to work and put in the printer broke and he always says that there is a "ink system failure".

    These steps you have done certainly point to the printer in question. I highly recommend that you call Support technique Hp for help with this problem because they have more options for you I do. For a uniform 'ink system' on 1 unit you know has a printhead working in could be a clear sign of a fatal error.

    If you are in the Canada, U.S. dial 800-474-6836 or you can Contact HP worldwide.

    HP printers usually have a warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase, you can check the warranty using the following if you wish; guarantee cheque.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know the results. Have a wonderful day!

  • My HP printer has an ink system failure, what can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    I'll do a tutorial on how to solve the error message ink system failure.

    Now, in general this error can occur when the ink cartridges are bad, the printhead is damaged or the sensors are indicating that the ink system has failed to the printer.

    Step 1:

    The first step we take with an ink system failure problem is a hard reset with the printer. A hard reset Resets the sensors inside the unit causing the sensors reading if the print head or ink cartridges are healthy or not.

    Hard Reset:

    Unplug the power cord from the printer and the wall

    Wait for 30 seconds

    Plug the power cord into the printer, and then on the wall (do not plug power cord into a surge protector)


    Step 2:

    Now, if the hard reset doesn't fix the problem there are a few available documents to follow which will guide you through a few steps to try to resolve the printer.

    I will list a couple of them here:

    If your printer does not appear please go to HP support and drivers and search for your printer and your document.

    Photosmart C7280

    OfficeJet Pro 8600

    OfficeJet 6500 Wireless

    Step 3:

    If none of these documents allows to solve the issue, I would call HP @8004746836. They should be able to help you replace or repair the unit. This could result in the replacement of the printhead, if so please be aware that if you are out of warranty, it will cost you.

  • OfficeJet 6500 E709a: Officejet 6500 E709a - cannot scan

    Hi all

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 E709a. My computer is running the operating system Windows 10 Pro x 64, and I have the latest software/drivers installed as downloaded from the HP website. When trying to browse the HP Solution Center, I click on the button "scan"document"which is in the software. After clicking, a small box appears which says "HP Scanning", but it is only about 2 seconds before closing, after which nothing ever happens. She is supposed to appear a settings window which allows me to set my scan and scan settings, but as I said, this never happens.

    Thank you all in advance for any help.
