HP C7280 Ink System Failure 0xc18a0001

| Thursday, March 7, 2019
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.
