-   Can not scan anything.  I have no idea what to do about it.  It just prints black pages when trying to make copies. -   jwag

-   I have the same issue. Scanner passes over the document to be faxed, then when it attempts to return to its home position, it makes a grinding sound and gives the "unable to scan, copy or send a fax" error.-   taylor924

Issue An 0xc18xxxxx or 0xc19xxxxx ink system error code displays on the front panel. The printer cannot copy, receive faxes, or print. Solution
  1. Press the On button to turn the printer off.
  2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
  3. Remove all the ink cartridges.
  4. Wait two minutes.
  5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
  6. Press the On button to turn the printer on.
  7. Install the ink cartridges when prompted.
If the error code does not display, the issue is resolved. If the 0xc18xxxxx or 0xc19xxxxx ink system error code displays on the front panel, service the printer.     Here is a manual if you dont already have one.   http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00486336.pdf

Hi, believe it or not, this worked..,

unplug unit for 30 sec.
press and hold # key plus 3 key (keep holding)
plug in unit again
keep holding # and 3 buttons until screen says reset has occurred
release buttons, try copying or scanning

if you're lucky, you'll now have a functioning unit

Amigo, só para ajudar a divulgar aos usuários de Bulk. Se o código de erro 0xc18xxxxx ou 0xc19xxxxx do sistema de tinta da impressora HP Photosmart C6180 for exibido no painel dianteiro, faça o resete da seguinte forma:

1- aperte a tecla com sinal # (jogo da velha) e o número 9. Segure as 2 (# + 9) apertadas ao mesmo tempo.

2- desplugue a impressora da energia,

3- ligue (com as teclas ainda apertadas) e espere uns 15 segundos até a impressora desligar.

4- Aí é tudo normal, liga novamente ela pede as configurações iniciais, configuração da linguagem, faz a limpeza e OK!

A tinta preta original da impressora C6180 é pigmentada e as demais corantes. Contudo para o bulk-ink é melhor utilizar só tintas corantes que possuem melhor fluidez, evitando entupimentos e problemas. RESOLVI O PROBLEMA DO MEU BULK-INK SUBSTITUINDO A TINTA PIGMENTADA - QUE VEIO COM O BULK - POR TINTA TIPO CORANTE.

Yes I have the same issue with my HP 3310. Is it a lamp fault requiring replacement or could it be a software issue? Any suggestions re fix?

My printer says Scanner failure, unable to scan, copy, or fax. I turned it off, and unplugged it, pulled out all the ink cartiages, but when i turned it back on and installed the cartiages back, it still had the same error. Anything else i can try?
