It means you are out of ink and on newer printers, it can be only one color that will cause ink failure.Check your ink levels and replace the color that is empty.

SOURCE: Ink System Failure

I had this problem, was about to buy me a new printer but than found the perfect solution. Just excuse my english (I am German). I have to translate the menue German into English and I hope I do it right.

Push the Setup and the arrow that shows to the left at the same time! Than push ok. A menue opens that says something with support. Push the arrow right button until system configuration appears. open it with the OK button. Now it should show the hardware failure status. If not look for it with the arrow button. When found the hardware failure status, again push OK button. Than something like clear inquiry should appear, push OK. As soon as the "hardware failure status cleared" appears, you can leave the menue by disconnecting the printer from the powercable.
Reconnect it with the powercable and it should work again.
