How do I repair an HP Photosmart C6180 with the error message oyc18a0206 Ink system Failure? I have powered on and off and replaced all ink cartridges.
Already Tried: powered it off/removed all cartridges/waited 5 mins, then turned on and re-installed cartridges. I also bought all new cartridges and installed those.

It worked. Tthe only difference was after step 1C, it displayed R0625M, and it never printed out a Diagnostic Page. Thanks again.
