HP told me this is a "FATAL ERROR". They also said it meant the memory
on the mother board is damaged so all they can do is replace the whole
printer. Vishal, their Indian-sounding customer care person offered me 3
options from $210 to $359, none of which used the same refillable HP02
cartridges and nice inexpensive compatible ink supply I have.
After
buying a replacement HP c309 (CC335A) from Best Buy for $150 I decided
to Google the error to see if there was a hardware fix before I tossed
the C7280, never imagining it could be done with few simple key presses.
Unbelievably, Terry Richardson's 9/4/08 post routine FIXED IT
completely! Thank you! Better late than never.
What a despicable scam
HP has to promote obsolescence and waste the planet's resources just to
maximize their silly income stream.
