THAT 0X ERROR IS AN INK SYTEM FAILURE IT MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED FROM THE REFURBED CARTRIDGES... THE HP WILL WORK WITH THE REFURBS FOR A FEW TIMES BEFORE REJECTING THE CARTRIDGE OR CAUSING AN 0x ERROR. THE UNIT NEEDS TO GO THRU AN ELABORATE INK SYSTEM RESET. OR HAVE THE PRINTER REPLACED

To bypass INK SYSTEM FAILURE messages please see the HP Printer Diagnostics Tests file (pdf) for instructions: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=1813
Verify the permanent built-in PRINTHEADs electrical performance inside this legacy printer model by running the TAP 43 diagnostic test (either one of the procedures below applies to all printers which use HP02 or HP363 ink cartridges): For additional HP02 support information, please visit our HP02 system support page which includes videos of everything mentioned below: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=1372

My HP Photosmart C5180 all in one is displaying this error Ink system has failed refer to printer documentation OXC 19a 0035 cannot find out what it means?

Hello,

The "Ink System Failure" is caused by air in the ink feed tubes. This problem can happen if you allow your ink to run all the way out or if you use poorly refilled ink cartridges that have air bubbles in them. To clear the error you will need to perform a purge on the printer. We have a step by step guide to this procedure posted on our web site at: http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/category/printer-repair/hp-printer-repair/ This should get you back printing in about 10 minutes.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.
