HP Photosmart C7280 Ink System Failure

Ink system has failed. Unable to copy, receive faxes, or print.
Error: Oxc18a0201
Turning Power on and off again does not work.
I do not know how to purge ink and I got a new set of Ink cartridges.
Please help me understand how to purge and release air build up.

thanks

    I called HP and solved the issue by forcing the initiating process of the C7280. They told me that my printer didn't recognize the new print color cartridge I installed, so the tech support guy said that we had to make it recognize it by having me me push star and pound together and then go through the trouble shooting which I forgot how, but you can call 18004746836 and ask for tech support and give them this number 8016926730 and they will help you walk through the troubleshooting method that helped me solve my problem.



    HP Tech Support is the way to go. Call them.

Hello rjjgraphics.
This is a serious hardware issue in the unit and in most cases , the unit needs to be replaced, so there is a less chance of the issue getting resolved.

Thx
All the best
