oh my gosh, it worked!!!! I had bought a new hp?? but had also recently purchased a whole new supply of ink for the hp d7260 and decided I would try to repair the old anyway. I thought I had ruined it by getting the right side cover off halfway. Anyway after much research your fix worked. Thanks Because this printer is good with photos and it did not have many hours on it. Good Job oh my gosh, it worked!!!!

Yepp, my friend you are a genius, this fixed my printer too, against all the smart talk coming from HP reps, and service personnel. I think this is a serious shame for a company , who -regardless of the facts- makes generally excellent products. Unfortunately the "chase for more profit" syndrome finally got them too....... Too bad, not many people have the courage and the knowledge to fix it themselves.

Thank you!!! Fixed my printer too (HP Photosmart D7360). It's difficult to get the right side off due to the "snap-in" plastic tabs but eventually the rights side comes off. Two tabs on the bottom, one on the front, two on the top under the lid in recessed holes and then there are two internal post-in-hole "tabs" where the posts will slip out of the holes when you "unzip" the right side front/bottom/top/back.

Follow-up comment... this fixed my "Ink system has failed" error 0xc18a0201. Follow-up comment... this fixed my "Ink system has failed" error 0xc18a0201.

First of all, your printer is "NOT" the worst model ever made, every printer that hp (as you probably noted I used small letters hp because I think hp is a small worm of a co.) makes is a problem waiting to happen. The worst of it all is that the don't care about there customers. I have a almost $300.00

photosmart that is a few months out of warranty, even though it stayed new in the box for over 6 months because of a heart attack I had. I ran out of two of the colored Inks, but continued to use the printer for word documents only till shortly after, the printer said it was unable to print till the two empty colour cart. were replaced. I continued printing all other items on my up stairs computer. About a month later, I purchased the cart. needed, installed them in the photosmart,(which I think is a oxymoron) and the printer came up with,"Ink System Has Failed" Error code oxc18a0306.

I know this is getting long winded, but it's the only way to get my point across fully. I contacted hp and after over 40 min. they told me that the error code was fatal and could not be fixed!!!!! They said It was out of warranty and would not be replaced for any amount of money besides paying full price for a replacement. ( Ya Like I Would Buy Another hp product). I have since then had the printer checked out and a small pc board with, a valve or sensor for all the ink supplies is not letting the yellow ink out of the pump to the print head. I contacted again, like a fool, hp and was on the phone for another 52.min. till they told me that part was not available..... End of story

P.S.

I hope this story gets out to every person that had, or has a hp product and

had a problem that was not resolved by hp, besides telling the customer they will fix the problem by selling to you ,at full price another printer.....

I'm All For Boycotting hp!

P.P.S.

I hope this gets back to hp

This worked for my D7160. Thanks for the post... This worked for my D7160. Thanks for the post...

I followed instructions to the letter and the d7160 Printer did exactly as Upron said above but unfortunately after all was said and done the Oxc18a0206 error (ink system failure) persisted. I am going to try again and finally check the capacitors with a meter (after removal) from the pc board and then try the procedure again. Thanks for the post.

There should be a way to bypass all this and make the printer at least try to print so we can see the results and know if colors are missing, the print head might be clogged, or there may be blockage. Unfortunately this is not the case and so we have a total guessing game as to what exactly the problem is without spending so much $$$ on ink hoping the problem will go away.
