so glad this has helped so many people! Over the years, a few folks have posted additional info in the comments, so I recommend checking out the great http://wonderlustpdx.com/2009/05/how-i-fixed-my-hp-c5180-printer/ tips especially from Mike & Jim if the Hard Reset isn't what http://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/c5180-ink-system-failure-0xc18a0306.3941836/ you're looking for. After several weeks of no working printer, I finally sucked it up and decided it was time to fix it. The error message "Ink System Failure" had me thinking that I'd installed a faulty ink cartridge. (I have them refilled at the awesome Inkwell Xpress hp photosmart in downtown NE Portland, where Good Dog Bad Dog used to live.) I went out and bought brand new ink cartridges, to rule out the ink-replacements as a problem. And still, no matter what I did, I kept getting the nasty Error: 0xc18a0001. HP's support site instructed me to remove all the cartridges, turn off the printer and unplug it hp photosmart c5180 for 2 minutes. Then plug it in, power it up and voila! it would magically work. Only it didn't. Then it instructed me to take it in for servicing. Servicing? Apparently what they meant to say was "scour the web for tips from other people who have suffered from the same problem. We know about the issue and how to fix but we don't have to care about you." The biggest obstacle was wading through the heaps and heaps of irrelevant posts, sketchy solutions and various rants and raves. But an hour or so later, I found it. The solution that worked. Sweet Jesus! ANSWER (to most of life's questions): hard reset HP C5180 All-In-One Printer HARD RESET: Hold down HELP + OK button and unplug printer (could experiment with regular power-off, but I opted for brute force) Hold down HELP + OK button again as you plug the printer back in. Then power it on, if it doesn't power on automatically. Be Safe: keep holding the buttons until the printer turns itself off. (It took mine less than
the net on this one but didn't find much technical information on what exactly is failing. The HP site isn't much help either. I know it is a mechanical failure inthe ink system but that is about it. When I first opened things up, the pump was not turning too freely. I rocked it backand forth an now it seems OK but there may still be a failure inside. I've tried the magic OK and Help button to reset. This seems to work OK except after each try, it lowers the amount of yellow ink it thinks it has. I suspect this may be part of the failure because shaking the yellow container, it seems to have plenty of ink. I'm guessing a couple of problems. One is that the pump is not effective at moving the yellow ink and the printer thinks that because it had to turn the pump so long that it must have gone through a lot of yellow ink. The other is that there is a jammed broken oneway valve for that ink and the pressure doesn't hold. After reset,and wasting a lot of yellow ink, it does print for some time, at least the test sheets. After about 3 or 4 minutes, it brings back the 0xc18a0306 message. Any one have any experience with this one? I figure I'll need to buy a new printer so I have no issue with ripping this one apart to see what is failing. I've had the covers of already and given it a basic look but so far, I don't see much that looks bad.
