I see by your post that you are getting an “Ink system failure” message on your Officejet printer. I will certainly do my best to help you ![Smiley Happy Smiley Happy]()
This error is normally caused due to the print head assembly or the power unit related issues. You can try the following steps:
- Remove the cartridges from the printer.
- Also, remove the print head by lifting the latch on the print cartridge carrier.
- Now, with the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Remove USB cable, if present.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
- Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
- Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.
- Now try inserting the print head and the cartridges to check the issue resolution.
If the issue persists, then the issue could more likely be with the printer hardware. I would suggest contacting the HP phone support to get printer service or a possible upgrade. You can go to http://hp.care/2bkTGBQ and fill in your product details to get the tech support number.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance.
Good luck ![Smiley Happy Smiley Happy]()
