Samsung printer C410W. Red light flashing.Checked paper paths; checked cartridges (nothing lower than 85%); removed and returned cartridges; checked back panel paper path. Still flashing red.
Technician's Assistant: Have you tried running your printer's self-cleaning cycle? (Sometimes you have to run this several times to see results.)
Is the self-cleaning prompt in the Easy Printer Manager?
Technician's Assistant: Have you tried wiping down the metal contacts on your printer and cartridges?
I have now wiped them
Technician's Assistant: Anything else you want the Printer Expert to know before I connect you?
How do I start the self-cleaning cycle?
The paper in the tray was not pushed all the to the rear of the tray on mine HOLY COW easy fix The front slider was moved frontwards a few indents!

apparently this is one of many common problems with this model here's what some people had to say about it: This printer is a piece of garbage. It worked ok the first time or two, but after that forget it. Even though it has paper, it won't print and says it's out of paper. It will click and make all sorts of odd noises and if it does grab a sheet in the feeder it will often grab multiple sheets and jam. On top of that, even though it has nearly a full ink cartridge, every 2 seconds it flashes an extremely annoying error message that it has to print in backup mode because it's out of ink. 99% of the entire time that I've had this printer the blasted red error light is blinking. IF you can get it to print at all you're lucky. Usually I give up. Save your money and buy a different printer. I bought this printer in November of 2005. I haven't used it all that much and it's been treated with care and today for no reason whatsoever, I started eating the paper like a monster and making a horrible clicking noise. I actually looked on here to see if there was any hope of being able to repair it but I don't think I am in any luck after reading all the other reviews. I actually liked this printer but I don't anymore and I wouldn't recommend buying one. It's crap--if you're spending 100 bones--get your money's worth and buy the HP PSC 2210 all in one. You won't regret the extra cash. looks like a lot of unhappy customers there and unfortunately you are one of many hope this helps regards

You need to count the number of flashes, usually long green then a certain number of flashes, sometimes alternating red and green flashes. I need to know the number of flashes to tell you what the error is.
SOURCE: Ink light keeps flashing
reset the printer by turning it off, waiting 10 seconds and turning it back on, also right click on My Computer and select manage..go to services and stop and restart the spooler service
