My epson rx420 will not print all lights are flashing and it tells me some parts are at the end of service life its not an old computer have downloaded ssc service utility but gives me no clues hoe to use it
any suggestions?
Please go to my website http://www.the-inkstore.co.uk . I have the latest version of SSC Service Utility to download directly onto your computer and instructions on how to use it, what to click on etc etc. Click any of the Epson links if you can't find it, everything you need to know will be there, including printer Firmware resetting which sorts out a multitude of problems.
The 'maintenance required' problem with Epson printers has absolutely nothing to do with which cartridges you are using, it is a built in page counter in your printer firmware, which has a different maximum amount for each Epson model. Don't listen to old wives tales and heresay, we are the experts and it's an Epson scam to cause a lot of people to pay for maintenance or throw their printers away. I haven't found a model that can't be reset with the latest version of SSC Serve or the manual reset on my site.
For Epson RX500 users there is also a manual reset on my site, as the SSC Serve software won't do it for you. When using the program & choosing your printer from the list, it may have a weird name with 'x' in the model number, this is because some configurations are for many models in a series. For example, the C46 will be listed as C4x as it is for the C42, C44 & C46 models.
I hope this helps all Epson users to overcome the Epson scam of page counting and locking out until you pay their dealers money for maintenance.
If you like what I've done for Epson users, please show your appreciation by spreading the word and perhaps buying your ink from my site.

In most cases, it's a waste ink pad full problem (the sponge that sucks wasted ink is full). But it probably isn't full yet (Epson claims it's full long before it really is!).
You'll have to download the service program for Epson printers (which gives you access to service functions of your printer): http://www.eserviceinfo.com/downloadsm/22895/SEIKO%20EPSON_EPSON%20RX420-425-430.html
Run the exe file (it doesn't work in Windows Vista or 7 - you'll need old xp for that). Then Select Sequential Adjustment Mode. Select your printer model and then Waste ink pad replacement. Press Ok.
You might have to try a bit. After you suceed, you need to turn off the printer and turn it on again. If all went well, you won't be seeing all the blinking lights on your printer ;)
Yes, it is. Select CX4600(4500)/CX36x0(3500)/RX42x(430)/PM-A700.
RX42x covers RX420/RX425.
Minimise to tray, click on icon in notification area and select protection counter - reset protection counter.
Its there for a reason mind, so replace or clean the overflow sponge first!
OPEN SSC UTILITIES,DROP DOWN CONFIG BOX,SELECT RX420 MODEL,CLOSE
BOX,THEN RIGHT CLICK ON TRAY ICON AND SELECT INK FREEZER,AND RESTORE
VALUES BACK, OK ON COMPLETION,THEN RESTART YOUR PRINTER AND ALL SERVICE
LIGHTS SHOULD BE OFF.
