Hello Pam, I noticed your post on the issue you are having with your Photosmart C6180 giving you an error code.

 

I have found this document for you to try troubleshooting through this issue.

 

An Alphanumeric Code (Example: '0x......' or 'C2......')

 

I hope this helps you, if you experience any other error code or message please let me know and I will do my best to help!

 

Regards,

I have tried three times to get rid of "refer to printer documentation" message.  No luck.  using MAC OS10.5.

Hi Boilerboy1,

I would like to be able to assist you with the error message that you are getting, but first I would need to know the full model number of your printer. I have included the following document 'Guide to finding your product number'.

Thank you.
