Photosmart C8180 Ink System Failure; Error 0xc 18a0005

I've followed HP procedure to reset printer which did not resolve the problem.  I have also attempted an on screen reset procedure in the "System Configuration Menu" which also did not help.  I have been told by the retail supplier it will be less expensive to purchase a new printer than to have the print head cleaned or replaced.  Please advise.
