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!

Re: error message

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.

I have a Photosmart 3110 and I have to reset as follow (and works):

 

Alternate reset procedure (for older products):

1. Unplug the power cord from printer.
2. Hold both o.k and Cancel simultaneously.
3. Plug the power cable while holding the buttons.
