Same comments as musabemi's " ink system has failed.". Even switch off and on ( as instructed on printer) didn't solve the problem. New HP cartridges installed. No solution for problem.What to do next?

Hello,
The ink failure error is caused by air in the ink feed tubes in your
printer. This happens when the ink in your cartridge runs out and the
printer sucks up air instead of ink. This is a very common problem with this series of printer. We have a step by step repair
solution for this error posted on our web site at: www.ccl-la.com click on the printer repair pages and follow the links to your printer series.
