If your printer displays a "Print System Problem," "Problem with Ink System," or "Problem with Printer System" error message, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.

Step 1: Check the Ink Cartridges for Leaks

  1. Open the ink cartridge access door and wait until the carriage stops moving.
  2. Remove an ink cartridge and inspect it for leaks.
    • If the cartridge is leaking, replace it with a new one.
    • If the cartridge is not leaking, reinstall it back into its slot.
  3. Repeat the process for all the remaining cartridges.
  4. Close the cartridge access door.
