Ink jam in Epson 2200 printer

Hello! I had my Epson 2200 Stylus Photo Printer mailed to me from California. I think it may have gotten damaged in the mail though it was packaged properly. Anyway, I turn on the printer, and all the ink lights are red as if there are no ink cartridges, when in fact they are all in the proper places. The ink will move from right to left and then stop at the left. I decided to try to manually move it back to the right hoping it would help things along.. and it did momentarily. The ink resumed its way back to the right side of the printer, but then very slowly goes back and forth, and ends with one of all of the ink lights red. I don't want to force it and break it, and I am not quite skilled at taking it apart. I am afraid I will do more damage. Should I attempt to print something? I have a feeling it will not print since the ink will not rest in the proper place. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

First try to print something. You never know it might work. Also you might try very carefully applying a small amount of sewing machine oil on the bar the print head is attached to then again very carefully and slowly move the head back and forth along the bar. It might just be that the bar is dirty and dry and needs a little bit of lubrication.

tip

Reset Epson Color Printer Counter

Many Epson Printers that reach an End of Life counter number will lock your printer down and force you to contact a Service Center.

However, this is really not necessary in all cases. If your printer is still working fine for you but the counter has locked your printer:
