Hi,

I followed all the steps on the link, even replaced the printer head but the same error code was showing. Then I restarted the printer and at first a blue screen with a different code appeared before instantly changing to a blank white screen. This happened too quickly for me to see the full code but it begins with C2FE. How can I get my B110 working? Help please.

Hello Lewis 91. I understand that you are getting a alphanumeric error code on your printer.  This link is the one that is specific to your product for the ink system failure message. The steps are the same as the one provided above, but I wanted to provide you with this document so that you may confirm that for your own peace of mind.

If you have done all the steps, and the ink system failure message will not clear, the error code is irrelevant and one is looking at product replacement.  One can call into HP Total Care for further assistance or to talk to an agent about the HP Upgrade Program. That is where one can look into purchasing an reconditioned unit at a discounted price that will come with a full factory warranty. The number for US and Canada customers to call is 800-474-6836.  If located in another country, contact information can be found at this link here: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html.

Thank you for your help. I completed the steps on the link before but when I replaced the printer head the screen went blank and now the ink tray won't move. I guess 'm going to have to get a new printer 😞

Hello whitlock.  I understand you're having some trouble with your ink cartridges.

Are you receiving the "ink system failure" message or a different error?

What printer do you own?  Please identify it by the product number.

Are the cartridges you have right now HP 364s?

Also, try the steps in this document.  

I'll keep an eye out for your reply.  Have a good day.

i can help you. you have problem with Print head. Change it but one thing you have to remember that is about cartridges. If you were using introductory cartridges for long time. you need to change them. Actually introductory cartridge is made in china and new one is made malayshia. If you use three old cartridges and one new that will not work and will damage print head again. It need to change all four at the time after changing print head. Cartridges of two countries are quite different. Use all four cartridges of same menifecturing country.

Do you have to change the printing head first or if i try to change the cartridges without changing the printing head will work?

For me the problem isn´t so much the fact of not printing but the fact that the printer doesn't scan. HP printers shouldn't block some functions just because other's don't work.
