All-in-One out of ink, can't scan

[Blick]

My all-in-one ink is too expensive for me on a limited income -- but that's another problem.  What happened is that I can no longer use the scanner, just keep getting error messages that it needs ink.

Please let me know of a way to continue using the scanner without having to go into debt for HP ink.

This happened to me.  All I had to do was hit the "OK" button the machine and it allowed me to scan.  Hope it works for you.  K.

Sorry -- that would be the most benign solution.  I should have given more information, but posted from my laptop instead of the attached desktop. 

So -- it's an hp pcs 2210 all-in-one.  It continually flashes to tell me to "Remove and Check Cartridges."  Well, I know there is no ink.  I can't afford to purchase ink for this machine.  I just would like to use it as a scanner -- it is a very good one!

Anyone else with a suggestion?  Please?

I have the same problem with my HP F4580 deskjet all in one

Use simple scan on Linux. I use mint so its preinstalled. No hassle - just scan and print regardless of printer type or fault
