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 tips especially from Mike & Jim if the Hard Reset isn't what 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 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.

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 a minute.) Now you can release the buttons and simply power it back on. (I held my breath, but that's not required.) I got an error message about "improper shut down" since I unplugged it w/out powering down. After I clicked "OK" the printer was just
