Thanks so much !

Like all the other folks, I tried the "official" HP solution many times without success, and then tried their pals in India, who couldn't solve the problem either...but you did !!

I tried this and every other suggestion I have been able to find and my magenta still does not print.  The cartridge works in another printer.  Where do i go from here????

Thank you!!!  This worked on my C8180.  I had to hold the "red eye removal" and "print photos" keys down to get to the system configuration menu, which i figured out from a different post, but after that i could follow all the steps and it worked.  Thank you!!

I am happy to have found this discussion thread. I followed the directions at least 3 times and still got the error (maybe I didn't follow directions as closely as I thought) but I then went and purchased a new HP "just in case" the last time didn't work. Voila!! I have not seen the error message again and have printed several times on my C5180 (which has been a good printer for over 4 years). So, the moral of the story......have another printer on standby!!:smileyhappy: I still have 30 days to return the new printer (never out of the box) to Best Buy so will see.....

Hey thank you for the info. This worked great the first time. I though I was hosed and needed a new printer... as someone stated my printer does not get a lot of use and I needed to complete my taxes.

 

Thanks again

I have the 0xc19a0021 error message and need a fix real soon of HP printers are done for me.  I always had an HP printer till this one and it just will not work correctly.  I makes all kinds of noise and error messages about ink.  When it will print

I am happy with the product.
