Hope this helps you.

This will reset the error code, but the absorber is still full of ink and will overflow ruining furniture, and possibly the printer. I don't know how you got that code sequence or why you would be that careless to give it out in a public forum.

Thanks!!!!

Sounds like one of your print heads might either be plugged or not working any more. Try removing the cartridges and cleaning the print heads with a Qtip (with isopropyl alcohol), or try a print head cleaning from the printer settings menu in Windows.

Please get the correct driver here : www.printcountry.com/drivers.asp
