Re: HP Officejet 6500 E709n - Ink System Failure error message.
05-23-2017 04:35 PM

I have an HP Officejet 6500 E709n printer. I get the following error message when I turn the printer on:
"Ink system failure. Please turn printer off and then on".
I have followed all of the steps suggested. I have done hard reset 3 times. I still get the same error message.

It looks like a hardware issue with the printer.
