Repeating problem:There is a problem with the printer or ink system ect. 0x61011bed

HP Office Jet 6700 Premium error message: There is a problem with the printer or ink system ect. 0x61011bed 

Turning printer off and unplugging power cord for 60 seconds and turning back on does not help.

This message reoccurs when printer is turned on.

How can i fix this problem?

@MarkS777 Lets start with power reset as per HP standards, here's how we recommend doing it:

• Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
• Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Wait at least 60 seconds.
• Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
  • NOTE: 
  • HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.
• Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
• Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
• Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

If the issue persists, please upgrade the printer firmware:

Unfortunately, the error still exists after the power reset. the firmware is up-to-date. can I do something else?

@MarkS777 I'm afraid that confirms a hardware malfunction and I suggest you talk to HP support and discuss your options, follow the below steps to get started:

1) Click on this link - http://www.hp.com/contacthp/

2) Click on Sign-in or select the product using the below step:

3) Enter the serial of your device.

4) Select the country from the drop-down.

5) Click on "Show Options".

Fill the web-form, to populate a case number and phone number for yourself!

Also, if you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty, if yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from,
