    both lamps blink, Iformation gives that the ink cushions would be full.

    This in spite of the age of the printer (max 3 years)

    Read on Internet that Epson would bring a reset tool for customers.

    Do you have any idea how to reset this so called 'waste ink counter"?

My printer wireless indicator is flashing red and I cannot print

The flashing status of the WiFi light on the printer indicates that it's either trying to connect to a wireless network or it has gotten disconnected from your wireless network.
A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Reboot your pc. Unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, check the WiFi light status. Try to print again.

Canon mx850 series Error Number : 300 The printer does not respond. Make sure that the printer is plugged in, powered-on, and properly connected to your computer.

I had the same problem. I had moved my printer and when I hooked it all back up, there was an annoying clicking sound, the "in use/memory" light was flashing and there was no communication with my pc.

This is a tad embarassing, but if it helps someone, so be it lol. I had plugged everything in without looking.... my usb cable was plugged into the phone jack >.<.

Check all your connections.... then check them again ;)
