Ink System Failure - Error 0xc18a0206

[mickeyv40]

Did you ever get that problem fixed ?

There's no key board ;( you have to hit the print and red eye key together to do it 😉

I got a solution in my C5180 for the Ink System Failure - Error 0xc18a0206 just restarting the printer. To do so, unplug the printer and plug it again while pressing both OK and HELP buttons at the same time. Keep them pussed until the printer turns it off automaticly.

Then turn it on, adjust the language settings and let it do its job fot 10 minutes aprox.

It worked to me. Best luck.

I have Photosmart 3210 with this Error. Tried reset, but no change. Cannot get past first step finding * and # buttons.

Hello @dabrock , and welcome to the HP Forums.

I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.

I would also suggest plugging the printer power into a different wall outlet.

I would then recommend this document on a 'Problem with Printhead,' 'Printer Failure,' 'Ink System Failure,' or a '0x...' or a 'C2...' Error...

Please keep me posted!
