Mine worked. Now it's a mess. Within a couple weeks. Replaced ink... Still is terrible. Any ideas or troubleshooting?

I've had mine for 5 plus years; I store it in my pickup truck, year round and the winter temps get well below zero. My printer gets thrown around quite a bit and I have never had any problems with this printer, the battery holds a very long charge and it prints both documents and photos beautifully. I even store the new ink cartridges, in my truck with the printer: they never freeze (no garage). BTW: I never use anything but Canon brand ink - years ago I used compatible ink on another printer and and it wouldn't print right, so I switched back and never had another problem.

Yes, toss it and move on with life. Mine was terrific at first too, and then converted itself into a piece of junk that defied every effort to restore it. This printer turned out to be a waste. I even bought a replacement print head for mine, and a ton of ink cartridges. Big mistake.

Not sure with so little information. If you recently bought slme offbrand ink it may have clogged the printhead. The printer has a self cleaning mode. Look that process up online and try it two or three times with new ink. If that does not work you may have to buy and replace the printhead mechanism. That will cost close over $ 125.00 Good Luck

Prinr Head is probably clogged, Excess ink pads probably soaked to the max. Theese are not easily repaired by the end user. Taake to a printer repair shop they will soak the print head in solvent and replace the ink pads. usually costs about $40.00

You must have got a bad one. I have had mine for 2 years and had been working well, even in storage periodically.With any printers, I follow each step religiously, waiting for it to complete every cycle and have to retread the instructions each time I use or change the cartridge. Keep on trying. I don't bother fixing printers. It is too complicated and a waste of time and money. And I print thru the wire, not remotely just to eliminate another problem. They are sensitive creatures.

mine did the same thing, I calibrated, cleaned the printhead, changed the printhead and put brand new ink in it and it still didn't work. I am on my 3rd Kodak printer now from the company and it started doing it again. I am switching brands.

I had s similar problem with printer not working. I ended up purchasing a new printer through Amazon. Sorry I can't help you further.

I wish I could help you. It is not a good printer, I have other problems. I wish I had returned it.

Each cartridge I replaced immediately failed the nozzle check. I don't know why I kept going but... it only got worse. So I ordered the genuine Epson inks ($40 for black + colors set- 2 orders by the way). After 5-10 cleanings, waiting a day after doing two in a row (as recommended), it finally seems to work again. And the cleaning used up about 1/2 the ink. So it took $20 worth of ink (and a lot of determination) to overcome the cheap $6 solution that seemed (and was) too good to be true. DONT TRY IT!!!!!To be specific: This is with an XP-310.

I wish I knew too. I have the same problem. The ink just pools on the top. I'm going to try my laser printer to see if that works. Overall, I am really disappointed.

You can use this to try fixing the problem. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&destPage=document&docname=c03081973&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001&lc=en&tmp_docname=c03081973 If this doesn't work this is another way to try to get the printer to work. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CCkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fh30434.www3.hp.com%2Ft5%2FOther-Printing-Questions%2F0xc18a0001-Ink-System-Failure-Fixed-in-HP-D7360%2Ftd-p%2F417073&ei=8-bFUoz_MNXSsATvvYCgDQ&usg=AFQjCNHfzok0Yy6WKbr2fsJaPkeQWTSs6A&bvm=bv.58187178,d.cWc There are any other answers shown when you 'Google' HP D7360 ink system failure. Some times this printer will show this failure after it has not been used for a long time or if one or more cartridges run out of ink and printing is continued.

Just had the same problem about 3 or 4 months ago. I went through all manual instructions and web suggestions. Clean head, run goofy printer maintenance etc. Just barely prints black and no color. Would be nice if their software would just fix their stinking printer. Was speaking to my ink guy (he has become rich off my Canon ink needs) and he said he would try to fix for free. Yes, scared me also. I am taking next week and if he can I will try to determine what he did and let you know. Otherwise it is just a rotten Canon printer. Almost makes you think they have a program that checks the date and when a certain date .... Maybe I am getting paranoid.. but after using a PIXMA that can happen.

I have had this problem before with ink I purchased from Sam's Club. I brought back the ink and they replaced it. Appears to be some type of problem with who's making the ink. I guess you'll have to contact the person you purchased the ink from and go from there. It's a real pain but there is not other choice. You may want to bring the ink to a store and see if they will replace it. I'm sure you (I) are not the only ones with this problem. The larger stores will know about it, just hope they own up to it.

yes , the same thing happens to me. This printer is a piece of trash. looking for a new printer. Won't be a HP

We had the same problem with the first one we bought and had to return it to the store. Ordered another one (exact same model) and it has worked beautifully. Have you tried actually replacing the cartridge? aIt could be that you have a faulty cartridge rather than a bad printer.

My HP 6500a is less than 3 months old and it just reads "ink error" I tried all the steps on their website, called their "support team" which told me do the same steps as the website. Then he tells me that I need to get it serviced- did I mention it's only 3 months old?? HP SUCKS!! I will NEVER purchase another HP product.

Ruth, I have seen this problem in the past with other printers, so it would not have been an issue for me this time HAD it happened. I am pleased to say that NO ink error messages have occurred after purchasing and installing this! I hope you are as fortunate should you purchase it.

Oh, thank god, this worked for me as well. This was driving me nuts. I had just bought a replacement large black tank and all I'm trying to print is text, but it wouldn't work because one of the photo tanks was out. (And I couldn't just buy that one, would have had to buy the pack of all four colors for $60)... I was about ready to just buy a new printer!

You can try cleaning the print heads (google the model of your printer along with "cleaning print heads" and you should be able to find instructions") and try a better quality ink. It may or may not work. It did not work for me. I ended up having to replace my printer after using this poor quality ink. Good luck to you!

I'm having the same problem with the black ink. I paid handsomely for this printer, and the Company should stand by their product. Let's see if they do. If I can't find a solution to the problem, I will address Brother. I suggest you do the same as it appears we are not alone.
