@MCRAC

Thank you for posting on HP Forums,

Flower_Bud is at your service.

As I understand, your printer gives an error message "0xc19a0040 "

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:

When was the last time it worked fine?

Were there any hardware/software changes made?

Have you tried any troubleshooting steps? 

Are you able to make a photocopy?

Let's try a hard reset: 

Step 1: Reset the printer

In some cases, removing the ink cartridges and resetting the printer can clear the error message.

1. Turn on the printer.

2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.

3. Disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the printer. If your printer has a network or wireless connection, leave it connected.

4. Remove the ink cartridges from the printer.

5. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and from the wall outlet or power strip.

6. Wait at least 60 seconds.

7. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

      NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to a wall outlet.

8. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

9. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.

   The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.

10. Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

11. Reinsert the ink cartridges, and then close the ink cartridge access door.

12. If you receive a prompt to print a calibration page, do so.

13. If you disconnected the USB cable, reconnect it to the rear of the printer.

14. Try to print.

Let me know how this goes,

Cheers!

Followed the process for hard reset and still get the same error message.  Message says printhead appears to be missing???

Won't print or copy.

I am getting the same error code noted above.  Printer was working fine prior. Model number is HP Officejet Pro 8625.  Can you please help with resolving?  I have tried unplugging, removing cartridges and restarting after several minutes but get the same error.  Thank you!

@CCastellani,

Thank you for posting your query on HP Community,

Let's start off by performing a Hard reset on the printer and make sure that the printer is connected directly to the wall outlet and not to the surge protector.

1) Take out the cartridges. 
2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall. 
3) Wait for 30 seconds.  
4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not to a surge protector. 
5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

You may try to attempt updating the printer firmware. For more details on how to update, please use this link: HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

Next thing, I would suggest here is to follow the steps suggested in the support document for - HP OfficeJet Printers - Resolving 'Missing or Failed Printhead' Error

Alternatively, you can also follow the steps from this link: HP Officejet 8600 Printers - 'Ink System Failure' Error (This document also has steps for updating the printer).

If you have tried the steps suggested and still having this issue, this looks like a possible hardware failure. However, there is no harm in trying to perform an advanced reset on the printer. 

Doing this will set the printer back to the factory settings. 

I am going to send you a private message with the instructions on how to perform an advanced reset. Now these steps are specific to your printer only. 

Please check the mailbox icon at the top-right corner of this screen.

Please check your Private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Forums profile,

I hope this helps resolve this issue completely,

I have the HP Officejet pro 8610. with that code. I did what was suggested and then I did a alignment where the only color came out was red. The cartages I have is a couple of yeas old. Is there a possibility that they could be bad.

@panthermansam, Welcome to HP Support Community!

If the cartridges were left inside the printer without usage for a longer time, chances are that the cartridges would ve dried up. Sometimes it also causes hardware failure.

If you have already performed the steps from the document Color or Black Ink is Not Printing and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

Hope this helps!
