Ink system has failed

I was printing one document today, and then started to print another and got this message:
Ink system has failed. Unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation.

    I have a fix.

    You can reset the printer by pressing "#" and "9" together when you power on.

    This fixed the problem for me, but I had to reconnect to the wireless network.
