tried to print a PDF on my HP 3210 & locked it up with a screen sign of " Ink System Failure " Error 0x018a0401.

Asked by Charles Gillan

I tried to print selected pages from a Samsung service manual for a r330 cell phone using an HP Photosmart 3210 All-in-One printer. The printer returned the follow - Ink System Failure - Ink system has failed unable to copy, receive faxes, or print. Refer to printer documentation ( which I can not find in the printer manual ) Error 0xo18a0401. Press OK.
Pressing OK resolves nothing & the red ! continues to flask?

The directions to use the OK & cancel together while unplugging & replugging the power seems to have solved my problem. At least I have printed off a screenshot. Thanks to all for their help.

I assumed the complete problem to be solved since the printer & copier worked fine but the scanner returns the following -"No Scan Options " - refer to device documentation to troubleshoot. I can't find any info there. I can make the scanner perform a simple scan by ordering one using the computer but that isn't good enough. When I tried to get an answer from an expert at HP they refused my email address saying it was registered to another party so I'm stuck.
