Check the printer properly, if there is any paper jam, or any thing that is preventing the print head moving . also check if there is any message showing on PC. Write in details.

Photo 1290 Changing ink cartridge

Hi there,

You may have to reset your printer, for when the green an red are flashing. Please do the following in order to reset the printer;
1-switch off printer itself
2-switch off at socket for 20 seconds
3-hold down both black buttons on front
switch on at mains
4-switch on printer itself
green and red flash together
5-now switch off at mains and leave for 3 seconds
6-while holding down both front buttons again, switch on at mains
both green and red flash together so release
7-quickly hold down the left botton, the one with the scroll icon above it.

Hold this until it resets itself, - the print head will re
charge and it will be obvious.

Restting by unpluggin rather than turning off at mains tends not to work.

This must help you as it worked for me.

Regards,

Anirban Mazumdar

Printer refusing to work, both green ON light and red INK light flashing simultaneously. Printer utility suggests ask dealer for help... but is it something silly that i can fix?

It can be fixed. download the following software.

http://www.ssclg.com/download/sscserve.exe

install it and use the protection counter function and reset its value to zero. i think this will solve your problem.

Good Luck.

Red and green lights flashing on epson c46. what do i do?

I guess your printer need to reset the counter ink pad, for reset the counter you must have a adjustment/reseter software, and for your printer type please download <a href="http://www.ziddu.com/downloadlink/7587521/sscserve4.3.exe">here</a>

I hope this link can solve your problem

Red and green lights flashing, won't print or respond to commands. Problem started when cleaning heads and subsequently testing with the print pattern. Monitor says a general printing error and suggests...

The heads are clogged. Unplug the printer remove the cartridges and dump them (never use the same brand of it or the same ink),pour some cleaning fluid there and leave it to soak. If you have some empty cartridges fill them with cleaning fluid and use them.

This is a maintenance request. Basically the internal counter has hit it's limit and now requires that the counter is reset and the ink pads are replaced or cleaned.

Ask at http://www.TheServiceManualShop.com if they do a Rescue Kit for your machine. This should include all the goodies you need to get running again. If they have no kit for machine, let me know as I may have an alternative.
