I have a HPofficejet 6600 (4 in 1) Got message that says : there is a problem with printer or ink system. above that message is another message that says " Ink system failure" . Ink cartridges are new. Is this fixable?

SOURCE: ERROR MESSAGE

please check and clean the unit where ink cartridges are located

SOURCE: Replaced Ink Cartridge

turn fax machine off open cover and put 3 drops of 3 in 1 oil on the the big silver bar the ink cartridges ride along perform alignment and try to recieve fax if this doesnt work clean all the rubber feed rollers with isopropanol alcohol (rubbing alcohol) applied to a microfiber towel then try.

SOURCE: Ink system failure

I had exactly the same problem with my HP 8230 and tried all the posted sugestions with negative results till I stumbled on this site site offering an update for a different problem but added " also clears many ink system failure messages " I downloaded and installed the update and the printer burst into life and now works perfectly, which proves mine was a software problem not a hardware one. give it a try you might get lucky.

SOURCE: Message: Intall new ink cartridge. Ink Low

When you hear the fax ringing, press the start button. It sounds like you are not set to AUTO RECEIVE

SOURCE: We purchased a new cartridge because it said

it will not send or receive a fax if the error is still there. Clear the error by trying these steps:
-open cartridge door and remove the cartridge
-unplug the power cord at the back of printer
-after 30 seconds, plug the cord and turn on the printer. It will ask for the cartridge.
-Open the cartridge door and insert the cartridge
-close the access door
-if the error is cleared, try faxing again.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
