Horses for courses, folks. I tried the above but got no joy. Removed the print head (there is a slide lever), cleaned the gold contacts carefully with metho (watch carefully how it comes out because you have to get it in again!) then put it all back together again and, BINGO. Works like a charm so I hope it does for you too.

cheers, Tonester

Probably your waste ink counter. Should be cleaned or replaced before resetting but usually you can get away with resetting once.
1. Start with printer OFF
2. Hold down RESUME and then hold down POWER
3. Release RESUME
4. press RESUME twice, then release POWER
5. let green light blink until printhead has finished moving.
6. Select functions below with RESUME, execute with POWER

0 presses - green light - Test Print (exit service for i960)
1 press - orange light - EEPROM info print
2 presses - green light - EEPROM initialise
3 presses - orange light - reset waste ink counter.

This also applies to the i550, i560, i950, i960
