![]() ![]() I also have an HP Scanjet 4890 scanner and an HP 4315 All-In-One. There hardware is great but their software/firmware, design and attitude, not to mention support, are beyond terrible I feel. Although I only used the correct HP ink, It is NOT HP's priviledge to dictate what ink I use in MY printer. One article on the web indicated that using another ink could cause this error FOREVER. That being the case, HP has real gall disallowing me the use of my printer. My warranty long ago expired and that is fine. I did note when printing documents, before the printer stopped working, that they had a slightly faded or weak look compared to my Lexmark printer. I have new HP 02 cartridges and have never used any other ink. Maybe the ink dried in the heads but I don't know because HP hasn't given me the ability, with this error stopping all prints, to try to print. I just did not use it for about 18 months. I really like the photo print capabilities of this printer. I know the firmware problem should clear but I haven't found the solution. I wish I had the procedure or program to clear the "Ink System Error." I had a chat session with HP and they suggested buying a new printer. ![]() These problems, and the ridiculously bloated software install, mean I won't buy an HP printer again.ģ98940_Gmd's Response to Reaction's Review The printer is also very slow to get ready to print after first switch-on which, combined with the false error message, can make it infuriating if you want to print something in a hurry. ![]() ![]() Now, every time I wish to use the 8250, I must first run a small program to 'clear' the false error message, after which it prints normally. I have carefully tried them all, but am still left with a printer that does not work when first switched on. HP provide a number of laborious so-called 'fixes' on their website. Since writing my initial review, I must now add some important notes.Īfter about 6 months, the printer started to display an "Ink System Failure" message, which sounds horrendous but is completely false. “Since writing my initial review, I must now add some.” ![]()
