Epson Stylus Color 880 printer problem

The Epson Stylus Color 880 has 4 LEDs. If all 4 are flashing or blinking then the printer has a maintenance request error. It means that the waste ink counter has reach its limit. The remedy is to replace the waste ink pads and reset the waste ink counter. You can use the SSC service utility to reset the protection counter. You can download the utility from here http://inkjetprinterhelp.us/epsonSSC.html

You can also use the control paler to reset the counter. Timing is the key to success when you reset the counter using the control panel so keep that in mind. To reset the protection counter using the control panel (front panel):

Step 1.Turn the power on while holdint the following buttons doen. Paper feed, cleaning button. (thr paper out light will flash for 3 seconds)
Step 2.While the paper out light is still flashing press the cleaning button for 10 seconds. The following leds will flash in sequence Ink out lights black and color, Paper out light. Once the printer starts to initilize the counter should be reset. This will reset the protection counter.

Hi

there is nothing you can dofor this error
just replace printer

Pls vote us to keep us alive

the system (possibly the ink drain hose is full/clogged) is telling the "chip" that it is dead. try pressing all the buttons for 30 sec.s and it should start a "reset" cycle.

Nothing wrong with the site now

I finally solved this problem by simply unistalling printer from computer and reinstalling it without a disk by means of the Control Panel “Install hardware” . Henry

epson stylus drivers suport,

"Turn the printer on while holding down both the ink and paper buttons. When the paper light flashes release both buttons", then hold down the ink button for approx. half a minute until the printer lights flash again then release it. That resets the printer.”
