HP photosmart 3110 gives error message Oxc18a0206 (ink system failure) have replaced all cartridges to no effect

Hi timbo2107,

There are some other steps that could be done, check this article - Ink System Failure

The ink system can fail if the cartridges in the printer are installed incorrectly, if the ink in the cartridge is low or out, or if the cartridges are damaged or not correctly vented.

Hope this works for you!

HI,

Try this. Make sure unit is turned on before you start.
1. Without turning the unit off, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
2. Press and hold “# and 6″ keys.
3. While holding those keys plug the power cord back in.
4. Wait until the screen shows a reset message before you release those keys.
5. Follow on printer screen instructions.

Alternate reset procedure (for older products):

2. Hold both o.k and Cancel simultaneously.
3. Plug the power cable while holding the buttons.
