Once the problem cartridge has been replaced, keep it as it may still be ok to use at a later date once the error has been reset.ġ- Unplug the USB cable from the printer.Ģ- Press the On/Off button to turn off the printer, unplug the power lead from the printer, press and hold both the 'OK' button and the 'HELP' button, then plug in the power lead, wait a few seconds and release the two buttons, then press the 'On' button. You will also need to have all cartridges with some ink in them or you'll need to replace any empty ones before continuing. Most problems are usually from the last cartridge inserted, so start by replacing that cartridge. Something usually causes the error to occur and this is usually a failed microchip, out of date chip or interruption when installing a new cartridge and this will have to be rectified before continuing. If you get an error message on your printer screen (HP Photosmart C5180) which says ' 0xc18a0106 ink system failed ', you'll need to carry out a Master Reset on the printer. Just had this problem on my HP Photosmart C5180 printer.
