Got this printer for free from work. We replaced it with a $1500 Lexmark laser MFP so I got to take this turd home.
Problem is when you turn it on it boots up then displays "Ink System has failed. Unable to copy, receive fax, or print. Refer to printer documentation. Error: 0xc19a0022. Turn power off then on again."
Obviously turning it on and off again doesn't fix it. I did a quick Google and tried cleaning the printhead with paper towels and glass cleaner. No improvement at all. The ink cartridges are expired as we haven't used it in like forever (since it no worky)... But the problem persisted BEFORE the ink expired.
I've gone ahead and ordered a $9 printhead and $9 set of generic ink cartridges off eBay. But, will that even fix it? Did I waste $20? lol. I was this printer to work because I have a Brother black and white laser printer I love but it would be handy to have a copier and be able to print in color as well.
