- I have the HP3210 and the extended warranty ran out Dec 30,2008. On Jan 2 the full pink ink cart (which was working fine) says it's empty. It had been working but recently replaced. I tried it in my daughters pinter and it reads full. Mine says it's empty and won't function. I tried 7 different suggestions including replacing cartridge three times, removing and all and putting them back, uninstall and reinstall ,,,, to no avail. Then I found the suggestion "hold down, all at one, OK,CANCEL, BLACK,COLOR and turn off the printer and then turn it back on" After several minutes of maintenance it ran on itself, it worked!!!! thank you for posting this information - GuestBest Solution

I, too, used the same solution of holding down "OK" "CXL" and "BLACK COLOR" at the same time. Printer will restart itself and everything is a-ok!

I had ink failure systen problem, searched for help. I found your website and followed the advice of " press ok,cancel,black and color button and turn off at the same time" then turn back on and let it go thru the motions and it works, it really works. I was told by HP chat person that it could not be fixed and to buy another printer, it makes you wonder what HP chat line people really know. Thanks for helping fix my printer and it saving me money.

This worked for me!!! Took me forever to find a post about it - but try it. Basically it is a reset of the printer. Hold down OK, Cancel, Black and Color buttons while turning it off, I turned it back on, it turned itself off and I turned it back on again, it started off doing the calibration and it took about 5 minutes, but when it was finished I had a working printer again. YEAH!!! I am not sure why it was so hard to find this solution. It should be on HP's troubleshooting site. Shame on them - I don't think I'd buy another HP printer...

I've tried everything and it still doesn't work. It worked fine just minutes before installing a new ink cartridge.

I have same error code message 0xc18a0307 after repalcing ink cartridges on my HP photosmart 3300. bummer!

Received "ink system failure" message along with code 0xc18a0307. Followed HP advice to turn off, remove power cable, then cartridges, wait 2 mins, plug back in and when prompted add cartridges except, I received the message again when turning the printer on. Adding the cartridges did nothing to help. HP suggested a service however, I'd rather explore all avenues before resorting to service.
