it ever since. I did the chat with a tech from HP(live from Bombay, it's "Sherry"!!) and who would have guessed it she was no help. Her only idea after just telling me what was in the FAQ section of the mannual was to take it back http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/posts/54675 to where I bought it from! Does anyone have any ideas what to do or even what causes this error? Thanks for the help! Respond to this 1 Yes, it is a known problem & if what I say next doesn't help then take it back for another one. --- The ink system has to pump up or be primed to work & yours just did not complete it on its own. Have you inserted all 6 inks ? They need to be in to have ink to prime the machine. Try holding down the hp photosmart ok -- cancel -- black -- color buttons with 4 fingers while at the same time powering the unit off. Keep them held down till it is off. Then turn it back on normally & it should try to do "Maintenance" & you hear a whirling noise --- that is the ink pump spinning to try & pump in ink to the print head. If all fails you may have a bad printer out of the box. If no one helps you then call HP & ask for an "all in one case manager" hp photosmart c7250 (877)917-4380 Ext.95 by unknown on Mar 7, 2008 at 9:35am Add comment Please sign in to comment Thanks Dave, my 7280 was just 2 months out of warranty and I had the ink system error OPxc18a0101 which appeared to coincide with the black cartridge running out, but replacement and switch on/off did not work.

When you say hold down the ok, cancel, etc buttons, which black and color buttons are you talking about? by unknown on Mar 7, 2008 at 9:40am Add comment Please sign in to comment I just had this exact issue with my C7280. I called HP Tech support, got a body in Bangalore or someplace, and was pleasantly surprised that they were prompt and knowledgeable, and solved the issue very quickly after transferring my call one time to a hardware support expert. Here are the details. Got the Ink System Failure message. The error code shows was '0xc18a0005'. The tech had me press and hold the '*' key on the key pad, then press the '#' key and release them both. Then he had me enter '123' to enter maintenance mode. He then had me press the right arrow (beside the OK button) until System Co
