I searched internet forums and found out how to reset the internal processor, thereby deleting the error message and allowing the printer to operate normally.
Process was:- Press on/off to turn off power. Unplug power cable. Wait 1 minute. Press and hold 'Red Eye Removal' and 'Print Photos' buttons. Insert power cable and printer automatically powers up. Keep holding the two buttons until the display screen goes blank. Press on/off to turn power off. Wait 1 minute. Press on/off to turn power on. Press 'Setup' on touchscreen and go through the procedure, including wireless setup (if used). "Bingo".

  6. Reconnect the power cord. If the product does not automatically turn on, press the Power button.
  7. Reinsert the cartridges, and then close any open doors on the product.
  8. If you receive a prompt to print a calibration page, do so.
  9. Reconnect the USB cable to the rear of the printer, and then try printing again

Error 0xc18a0101 persists. Have tried solution given earlier for 0xc18a0001 without success. Ink system failure not resetting; all cartridges are full.
Its tricky mechanism, once printer detects ink system failed it cannot be resetted. Do this take out cartridges from printer., open right cover., find out logic card., remove cmos battery., wait for 5 minutes., refix batyery., power on the printer., follow the screen messges ... I hope it will solve the issue..
