I have an HP PhotoSmart C7250 All-in-one that has the error:

Ink System Failure

Ink system has failed.  Unable to copy, receive faxes. or print.  Refer to printer documentation.  Error 0xc18a0206. Turn power off, then on again.

I have not been able to locate this error in any manual or on the HP web site.  I have found similar ones involving different printers/cartridges.

I have tried several scenarios of powering the printer off, unplugging the power and removing the cartridges, but nothing works.  I have noticed that the cartridges have dates that are in the past.  Before I go out and purchase a new set of print cartridges I would like to know if that is a possible solution to the problem.  They are all new (just opened the package) but over a year past the date marked on them.  I don't want to buy a full set of cartridges if I am going to have to replace the printer (who knows what cartridges a new printer will take).  After all, with the cost of the cartridges, it would be a good chunk of the cost of a new unit.
