HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
Thanks,

C5180 Ink System Failure hp 0xc19a0024

Hello Everybody,
Recently I moved from one city to another. After one week of that I run my HP C5180 printer. Unfortunately I have until today an error: "Ink system has failed. Refer to printer documentation. Error: 0xc19a0024. Turn power off then on again."
Of course I didn’t find any information in my documentation. Also turn off and on didn't help.
After reset this error (using Manufacturing Key Combo) I can “Print Report” but page is empty.
Full reset to the manufacturing settings don’t help. After “Tools/Clean Printhead” or “Tools/Align Printer”... ERORR 0xc19a0024 appear again.
I called to the HP support, but the printer is out support and I didn’t get answer what this error mean.
I will very gratefully if somebody explain me what the error 0xc19a0024 exactly mean. Any solutions of my problem are also very welcome.
Thank you!

Officejet 6500 ink system failure - hp printers used to be good, but are trash now

I'm so frustrated. I have an Officejet 6500 that gave me an Ink System Failure warning. I read that it probably was a low cartridge and so I replaced the low one - according to the level indicator, it still had ink - and it started working again. Then I got the error again. According to the HP print manager software, all cartridges had ink, but now the magenta looked low, so I replaced it. (As a side note, this printer EATS the expensive high capacity cartridges. I thought it was a good value to buy the higher capacity cartridge, but if I get a dozen pages out of them I'm lucky.)
So now I have tried cleaning the printhead using the manager software, which doesn't work because the printer is still in Ink system failure mode. So I took out all the cartridges, cleaned the printhead - it was inky - cleaned the contacts, reset using the turn on, unplug power cord from printer, from wall, wait 15 seconds, plug in to wall, plug in to printer. Still have the error. Did it all again. Still have the error.
I'm so irritated. I spent good money on this printer, and the expensive HP ink, because I'd had good luck in the past with HP printers. But this one h as eaten up hours and hours of my time and cost me hundreds of dollars in ink alone and STILL WON'T PRINT. Is there some other secret reset method that isn't documented? Some other test I can do? According to the troubleshooting guide, I"m now supposed to replace the printhead, and then if that doesn't work send the printer for servicing. Hello? You told me to replace the ink cartridge, so I wasted expensive ink doing that. Now I'm supposed to replace another part, without any real idea whether it will fix the problem or not? There's no diagnostics on this printer that can figure out exactly what part of the ink system has failed?
If anyone has any ideas how to get this piece of junk to print I'd really appreciate it. I'd love to be able to keep this printer working for a little while longer because I'm trying to get a business off the ground and just don't have lots of unused money sitting around to throw at solutions that "might" fix my problem. I've become so disullusioned with HP. They used to make great products, but now unfortunately the products and the support seem to have gone down the tubes together. I will NEVER buy another HP printer even if they fix the quality issues.

Try cleaning the print head with rubbing alcohol wipe, then replace your print head. Keep pushing the Ok.
Go to this link and HP shows you how.

Lucky for me it worked!

Ink system failure printhead unrecognized

I keep getting ink system failure errors and printhead is missing or unrecognized. I have turned off and restarted the printer and unplugged and replugged the printer. I ran the diagnostics. At first it said there was a printhead problem but now it says everything is OK but it will not print a test page. There was no decline in print quality before it failed. It stopped printing suddenly after printing several jobs perfectly. I was about to buy a new printer when it printed something from a different computer on my network (a MAC), so the printhead and cartridges are actually working fine. Why is there a communication problem from my usual computer? What can I check now?

Hello @Sari44 ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that your Officejet 6700 has an ink system failure message on it.
I would like to help.
It is odd that you could get a print job from your Mac.
Try going through the following document.

Ink system failure

While printing a 5 page document, my printer just stopped after shooting out 4 of the printed pages. The screen started blinking and is read -Ink system failure, unable to print ,refer to printer documentation, Error OXC 18a 0001- This printer is an HP Photosmart C8180 All-In-One, just 9 days out of warrenty. I can not find any reference in the printer documentation regarding this error number. I can not print anything, even color. I have turned the printer off, unplugged it waited 15 seconds replugged it, turned it back on. I have cleaned all the cartridges and print heads with a coffee filter and distilled water. Nothing seems to work I think it might be a problem with the print head but do I have to replace all the the heads or just the black one? They cost somewhere near $40.00 each and I bought the printer last Feb on sale for $139.00. It seems foolish to replace heads when the printer was so cheap, but throwing it away also seems foolish to me. I just think you should get more than a year and a couple of days out of a HP printer. Has anyone had this problem and knows how to fix it????

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus ink system failure

I suddenly started having error messages staing there is an ink system failure. Sometimes it changes to a "missing or failed printhead" This happened just after the printer downloaded an update which I assume was new firmware. I found a troubleshooting guide on the support site and tried it, but have not resolved the problem. It is late so I plan to try again tomorrow, but wondered if others had this problem after a download.

I have the same problem on my officejet pro 8500 a909g. I get thee message, renew the magenta cartridge! I did that, but stille get the same message and I cant print at all. I am afrais that HP has pre programmed the printer to go down after some working hours or a given amount of outprint. I do not know where to get assistance to solve the problem, but will let you know if it succeed. I am from Denmark. Best regardsSteen

Ink System Failure Oxc 18a0001

The display on the printer reads: Ink System Failure. Unable to copy.. or print. Refer to printer documentation.Error: Oxc 18a0001. I have tried all suggestions I can find to no avail. Where can I find printer documentation andcan anyone help me? I have two of these printers doing the same thing and I really like this printer. Thanks!

Hi there Chris4469,
Thanks for your reply! I do suggest following the guides below for the Ink System Failure message you are seeing. Cleaning the ink cartridge contacts may help. If you are unable to fix the error, I would suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about a trade in option for you.

"HP AIO Printer 7180 " Ink System Failure- Worth Repair ?

Hi I have the above all in one printer. it is maybe 8 years old now but an excellent,top of the line printer at that time. I have gotten an " ink system failure" warning and nothing works. I have been told that this means the printer is basically shot-to chuck it-and buy a new one. Its such a nice unit, it seems a shame to not try a repair. my local printer repair shop in Vancouver -eltek- has quoted me about $50 to check it out and up to repair from there. I've heard that this is a common problem with this unit. Question- As I am Disabled , on fixed low income, can I attempt a self repair and if so , what can I attempt? Would it be worthwhile to pay for this problem repair or should I just write it off and save $100 for the newer type, disposable printers ?   Thanks Most Kindly Brian Smith in North Vanc

Hey ,  Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I understand your Photosmart C7180 All-in-One Printer is stuck in an error state. I would like to assist you with this.   According to this article from HP, the sole troubleshooting recommendation is performing a hard reset. Beyond that, I recommend you reach out to our tech support team. You can click on the following link to initiate a case: www.hp.com/contacthp/
Once you fill out the online form to create your case you can choose from different direct contact methods. Even though your printer's out of warranty, you might be able to look into alternative servicing or replacement options with HP.   Addressing your questions about D.I.Y. repair and third-party servicing, I do have some advice that you may want to take into consideration. The printhead on your C7180 is fixed/permanent. This means you can't readily take it out and clean it or replace it like you can in other printer models. Is it possible to dismantle the entire unit and identify the source of the error status (likely the printhead) and repair it on your own? Maybe... but there are no official guides from HP that support this approach. With some research online (Google, cough, YouTube, cough ) you might be able to find tips on how to go about this, but we rarely advise this route as it can exacerbate existing issues or create new problems.   Third-party repair businesses may have their own methods for fixing these types of printer errors, but I'm doubtful that they can guarantee a positive outcome, especially with this type of error. You can end up wasting money on a fruitless repair. We don't do pre-sales tips in the Forums, otherwise I'd recommend budget-friendly printers from HP that would match and in many cases exceed the capabilities of your C1780. If you do end of deciding to pick up a new printer you can checkout new HP models here.   I hope this helps. Have a great day!

HP c7280 Oxc19a0035: Ink system Failure

Even after following steps provided by suggested support, after a printing few pages I get the same error again. And of course this happens after my warranty has expired. Is this a fixable problem or am I sunk? I have rebooted, reset and even sent it to a family member who does this sort of thing all day. The error messages are not always the same. Sometimes I just get the ink system failure message alone without the error code. More often than not when I try to reboot the printer it gets hung up and does not restart until the second or third time. Or As I try to properly reboot it, it tells me that I have not rebooted properly and to try again.
Thanks in advance,
-Moses

While it looks like your printer needs to be services there is also a thread with some suggestions out there with some results for this same issue. I have linked this thread this post. You will want to look at message 16 and 17 for what seems to be a resolution for your same printer. Hope this helps.

Ink system failure officejet pro 8600 Plus

Trying to install officejet pro 8600 and the control panel shows "ink system failure" and I can not get past that. Any suggestions

I had a gentleman give me an 8600 Plus printer due to the "INK SYSTEM FAILURE" as he didn't want to spend any money to fix same because he had seen so many other people complaining about the same failure. What do I have to lose so I started taking it apart and what do you know... THE SERVICE STATION WAS SO LOADED UP WITH INK, IT WAS UNABLE TO CYCLE FORE AND AFT. After much work trying to figure out how to get the SERVICDE STATION out without breaking it, I finally managed to free it. I then put the service station in a bucket of warm water and dish detergent and kept running till the water was fairly clean. Upon close inspection of the service station engaging gear,( BEIGE SPLINED GEAR), I feel that all the ink in the well was preventing proper operation of same. Long story short.. "THE PRINTER IS BACK TO FULL OPERATION AND ONLY COST ME A FEW HOURS OF DETERMINATION". Also I have to say I cleaned and lubed the carraige rail along with the ENCODER STRIP and it is working as advertised. Any questions, feel free to email me , [email protected]
