Switch on the printer. Halt a minute until the device is idle. Unplug the USB cable from the printer's rear. Look at the connection method. In case it is wireless, examine whether the printer is linked to a wireless network. Take out the ink cartridges from the printer. With the printer switched on, unplug the power cable from the printer's rear and wall socket. Wait a second and then connect the cable back to the printer. Now, examine whether the issue persists. In case it exists, upgrade the printer 's firmware to the recent version.

SOURCE: have a hp 3310 it says ink system failure error

Turn off the machine using the power button, unplug the power cord from the back of the machine, remove the ink cartridges, wait 2 min, plug the power cord back in, press the on button, wait until the printer prompts that the ink cartridges are missing, then replace the ink cartridges. If this doesn't clear the error then you may need to re-prime ink through the system to clear the error. There are good instructions for doing this at http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/hp-photosmart-ink-system-failure-1/.

0xc18a0106 error from hp 3310 printer.... ink system has failed

That error code indicates a Ink system failure error message. Ink system failed mainly caused by your cartridge spitting extra inks into the copper contacts inside the printer. All you need is to remove all cartridge, clean the copper contacts at the back of it, clean also the contacts inside the printer (cartridge slots). Insert it back in after cleaning, unplug the power cord without turning off the printer, wait for 1 min before plugging it back in. Let me know the result.

Error 0xc18a0106

That Photosmart error tells you that your ink system has failed in some way. With so little information all I can suggest is that you check to see if your ink cartridges are empty. Disconnect the USB cable, and then pull the ink cartridges out. If they're the clear type you can see the ink levels. Unplug the machine for a couple of minutes. Plug it back in, replace the cartridges and see if the error is gone. Hopefully you can now print again...
