error light on, printer error, how do I reset, I have checked the whole printer and there seem to be no problems at all. It gives me an error light as soon as I turn it on, plenty of ink and no paper jams.
This resolution, the only working one I could find for the generic "Printer Error" message, was posted by FixYa user willyinfcva:
"I downloaded the Epson CX5400 manual from 2manuals.com, and the remedies for the printer error light were plain and fell into 5 categories; print or carriage motor ohms out of spec (not likely), a latch holding the paper eject mechanism not locked down, or one of the sensors for head or paper position not functioning properly. Confident with this new information, I aerodusted both sensors, cleaned a smudge off the CR alignment strip behind the head carriage, and also reseated the head for good luck, as I'd had it out before. I ran a test and ... it worked!"

The piece of black foam that sits on top of the print heads has torn and now it won't print anything. Can I replace this foam? It's the piece to the left of the ink cartridges that sits in the bottom of the printer. I believe it fills with ink. Anyhow mine tore when the paper jammed.

A note has come up on the computer saying Service Required - Parts inside your printer are near the end of their service life. See your printer documentation. There is nothing about servicing in my documentation. Can you help?
