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 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!

    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.)

  • First HP, I bought more than a decade (c410a) and it has an ink SYSTEM FAILURE error from the first day

    Photosmart Premium left me very unhappy.  I stopped to buy HP more than a decade and now I'm wishing that I would have stuck with my decision.  Myself and 3 other friends have bought these printers and both of us have had problems.

    I went through the steps, had a new printhead ink shipped, walked and steps with new tech mistakes really falling.  Last person said they were doing an interview, so that they couldn't transfer me.  Now I remember and of course no sequel to our conversation has been documented, so they want to go through it all over again.  Two hours of technical support, my mother and three calls not a printer to work.  I can't believe I bought two of these things.  It's obviously bad (probably where the print head comes in contact with the cart / I guess).  I am disappointed by the printer and support at this point.  I refuse to continue to waste hours of my time talking to representatives of phone asking me to do the same thing again and again.  I can just this thing replaced?

    The order number for the replacement print head and ink cartridges that were shipped to me is KEB489-01.  I have provided a phone number and email address.

    So I lost another hour talking with support just to send me a refurbished printer to replace my printer $300 + with less than 10 pages printed on it.  Not cool.  Had to share all the trays and the stuff of my original machine, because the replacement came not with them (I had not packed it again for good).  So of course I had to file this stuff at a Fedex in 3 days, so that they don't charge me for the price of a NEW printer.  Absolultely horrible experience.  I bought this for my mother, who never wants another HP product again (his words).  Good thing I kept his gun hung for her, otherwise she would have been dead in the water for the print jobs.  I'm not sure why this guy who kept telling me he was a supervisor (must be a big problem there) was surprised that she was angry that she had a Refurb in lieu of a NEW printer. He told her that if the printer was less than $100 that they would have just replaced.  Huh?  For the record, I'm not new at this.  I did PC support since 1989 and currently hold a COMPUTER job with a Fortune 500 company.  I did RMA with most computer component companies major, their distributors, etc.  As a regular user, I am very disappointed with HP.  Between this printer problem and the problems I had when I went from Dell to HP laptops, I think twice before you buy HP again.

    SOLUTION: Pray that your printer works (one on two of my friends did and works very well).  If not, immediately take it back to the place of purchase.  Otherwise risk of lack of hours out of your day dealing with support, shipping, etc. and reception of material used back.

  • Dell desktop computer just ran scan & system - failure of the card mother how fix this?

    Hi, I have a Dell desktop computer that came with an Epson printer & all the other necessary things: keyboard, mouse, speakers, & flat screen.  I bought it in 2009.  I'm on social security, so I can't afford to buy a warranty with Dell, which missed.  My system works fine.  Dell offers, free of charge, a scan to check the memory card mother and other issues.  I do the scan every month.   It was record past in all categories.

    However, I just did a scan on July 6, 2013 and the analysis of response of the system said failure in red.  Then he said: 'mother' I know refers to the hard drive.  I am over 65 and fairly low tech & live alone.  However, I am pretty savvy, computer or as much as I can be.

    I checked the help MSN menu, but could not follow him.  This is why I post my question on the MSN Community forum, which helped me with other problems in the past.  I have also just posted on the Dell forums.  I have MSN as my homepage & use IE 9, it works best for me.  The only email I have is on AOL and I've been there for years without any problem.

    I have Verizon FIOS; If I can't get an idea of how this problem on the forums (in fact, I prefer MSN forums) I'll call them.  They offer free advice by telephone.  If necessary, they will come to my apartment to check my system & require a rate SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the Geek Squad.

    However, I did not do anything to the system.  I have update printer drivers, since the printer has suddenly stopped working when I replaced the cartridges.  I don't think that this should be a problem.  I replaced the cartridges before.  I have an Epson Stylus NX110 printer/scanner/copier & called Epson, they SUCK.  The printer comes with the computer.  I have installed new drivers & the printer works fine.  I do not have a wireless system, & I don't have a digital camera.  The only other conflict can be I have two Microsoft Security Essentials AND free AVG downloaded as my anti-virus, anti-spyware.

    I know that the new drivers, I installed the printer were great, it was an update of Epson which I figured out.  I as well need the computer & printer. I am disabled & only at home much & this is my link with the outside world.  I do a little writing & letters print & printing (Yes, postal mail) to friends & also letters to additional government assistance of my State & County.  I appreciate all the advice and I'm sorry it's so long.

    One last thing: I keep getting pop-ups from this survey company called five votes.  I have tried everything to remove them, but they reappear.  I do not take surveys & I get rid of pop-ups.  I have my Blocker on MSN and AOL.  Could these pop-ups have corrupted my hard drive? I've been doing them for months, it is very likely.

    Thank you, Karen

    First of all - the 'motherboard' does not mean 'hard drive '.  This means that the "mother".  :-)  The drive is the storage processors is the brain and everything connects through... the "mother".

      
    Second - why sweep you all the months?  Unless you are having a problem - well - I suggest you not to do so.  Heck - you may see a false positive.  Do you have any indication that you have a hardware failure?
      
    Here's what I suggest:
    (1) stop the execution of this "free scan of Dell.
    (2) ensure that the drivers of motherboard, video card, network device and peripheral chipset audio are later you can get - on the Dell site for your specific Service and operating system combination label (drivers and downloads section, use your service number and put in the operating system you are using.)
    (3) never use Geek Squad.
    (4) what is the "MSN Help Menu?
    (5) choose AN antivirus software - two is misguided and may cause problems.
    (6) run some scans of malware with the details, I will give you right after that...
      

    Regarding AntiVirus - free are very good: Avira, AVG, Avast, UnThreat

    You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Remove everything it finds.

    Reset.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    The update of the Bios?


    Download the last update of the Bios here.

    Connect the power adapter to the netbook.

    Disconnect from the Internet. Close all running programs. Disable anti-virus and firewall.

    Double-click the Bios update exe file. It may take some time, so it is important to remain patient, not to interrupt the process. Allow the laptop to restart after applying the BIOS update.

    Although this update is running are not:

    • Turn off your laptop,
    • Disconnect the power adapter,
    • try to run any software or do anything thereon.

    Note:

    Hello Kah524,

    I met your questions and we have a solution for this and you can try it, but that would apply only on starting with '0xC18A' and not '0xc19a error codes.

    Try the following steps for Photosmart C7280:

    A. - Press and hold the "*" key.

    B. - Press the "#" and release both buttons.

    Display should say "enter special key Combo".

    C. - Press and release in sequence the buttons '1', '2' and '3 '.

    Display should say "Support" and display the FW rev (something like R0631R)

    Press and release the right arrow button until the display shows "Menu of the System Configuration'.

    Press and release the OK"" button.

    Display should say "hardware failure status. If it isn't there already, arrow above for "Hardware failure status"

    Press and release the OK"" button.

    Display should say "hardware failure status: clear." Press OK to erase.

    Press and release the OK"" button. Message becomes "hardware failure (breakdowns) resolved state. Press Cancel to continue.

    Press and release the "CANCEL" button as many times as necessary, so that, either the "Welcome to Photosmart Express" screen appears, or, the 'ink system failure' is displayed. DON'T TRY TO PRINT AT THIS STAGE.

    Using the power button, turn the power off and unplug the power cable from the back of the printer output and the wall.

    Wait 30 seconds for the power to get discharged and then plug the power cable into the wall outlet first, and then to the back of the printer

    Switch on the device. The printer may display message "USE POWER BUTTON CLOSING the PRINTER" followed by "Press OK TO CONTINUE". Press OK.

    If the printer has already initialized, then go to the next step. If this isn't the case, the printer will start the "ONE TIME INK initialization PROCESS". Allow this process to do and not to interrupt. Once the initialization is completed, the printer print a Diagnostic page.

    To check, features of the printer print a PAGE of TEST car. If SELF TEST prints, then printer is ready for use or installation of the software.

    If the error is still there, or reoccurs replace the unit.

    --------------------------------------------------​---

    0XC19a error messages, the printer can be retrieved.

    Good luck and if that fixes the problem please click on Bravo...
