Solution 2 worked for me

I was able to perform the reset on a C6280 by disconnecting the power, leaving it for about 60 seconds, then pressing and holding Print Photos and Red Eye Removal while reconnecting the power. I continued to press and hold both buttons until the screen went black and the power light went off.
However, this did not resolve the error.

Thank you for cure options. I have a C7280 that ran empty on black ink. I replaced the cartridge and got the Ink System Failure 0xc05d1281 error with the new cartridge installed... ink gauge read full. Tried all the options multitudes of time with long wait periods. I exchanged the black cartridge for a new one and repeated the option 4 procedure using the Photo Fix (Red Eye) & Print Photo buttons. Then tried the Print Photo & Cancel buttons... that finally worked and ink got loaded. Tells me that the cartridge may be the problem with ink flow.

Solution 2 worked for me. I was about to throw it out and buy another printer. I was very annoyed as it had only done 2500 pages according to the log. I have bought hp products for many years but the quality is poor compared to previous and the back up now non existent.
Many thanks.

Solution one worked for me, but not directly after clearing the error, but after launching a test page from the support menu (nozzle test).
