Officejet 6700
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I have the Officejet 6700 and I've had it for a while. I got this 'Ink System Failure' error message a few months back. Having some time off from work I decided to give my hand at some troubleshooting. I followed the procedures at the Knowledge Base https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03262508 and have had no luck in getting the printer working. At this point I think the print heads are damaged and needs replacing. I looked at a few Youtube videos on how to do this. I don't know that it's worth the time, effort and expense. I rarely use the printer nowdays. It got more use when my kid was in school, but now that she's out it barely gets any use. So, frankly, I don't care much about the printing function right now. But I sure would like to use the scanner, fax, etc. when I need to. The problem is that when the printer comes on I get the ink system failure message and a can't do anything else with it. Does anyone know how to disable or bypass the message? Thanks!
