Try changing the ink cartridges.

If you installed the "HP Support Toolkit" software from the CD-ROM that came with the printer, use this Toolkit to "run a cleaning cycle".
It can print a "test" page, to show you which colours _do_ work, and which do _not_ work.

If all else fails, then find a qualified printer technician.

Perform the following on your printer http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/hp-photosmart-ink-system-failure-1/.

Not sure how to help you. Ink failure I would think is cartridge failure. Are you original virgin cartridges or refills? I need the actual error message that the printer is giving.

I get the ink system failure message on my hp c7180 as well as an error code of oxc18a0306.

1. Press the On button to turn the printer off.
2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
3. Remove all the ink cartridges.
4. Wait two minutes.
5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
6. Press the On button to turn the printer on.
7. Re-Install the ink cartridges when prompted.

If this doesnt work then apparently the controller for the inkjets is bad. you would be best served to take it back under warranty or replace the printer
