If your Epson Stylus Photo 1400 has any problems, see these sections for solutions: ... The printer is receiving a print job, replacing an ink cartridge, charging ink, or cleaning ... If you're printing on a CD or DVD, the CD/DVD tray has not ejected. ... Select a higher Quality Option or Print Quality and turn off High Speed mode.
If power button is on (not blinks) and two red lights are blinking alternatively it means the inkpads are end of life. Ask epson service centre to reset it and replace the ink pad. You can go for wic reset with fees.
If power button is blinking with two red lights, it means your printer cannot initialize. Its a fatal error. Ask epson service engineer to service it.
When both lights on the printer are illuminated it means the printer is at the end of it's usable life, you can reset this counter with software. EpsonIPRutilty

basically, the Epson printer has a built-in utility that counts the number of prints made. When it considers the little felt pads that collect the inks from cleans is full, it (in effect) says your printer is at the end of its life. Total rubbish, of course. You can get new waste pads - or get Epson service to change them, which includes resetting the counter and for a quite heavy cost to you. However, you can reset yourself and improve the printer at the same time. To get any ink out of the pads, set the printer for changing a cartridge. It moves the head with cartridges to a position where they can be removed. Then unplug the power - do NOT just turn off the printer with its button as that resets the head to its normal locked position. You can then moved the head side to side freely. Now make a number of pads from Kitchen paper and down in the RH side, where the head parks between uses, you will see the felt waste pad. Just keep pressing down with pads to soak up all the ink it has absorbed. That will mean you do not have to buy and change new pads. If you live in the USA you can get a Free Waste Ink Counter reset utility from Epson. It only works with USA Serial Numbers (same printer elsewhere in the World has different serial numbers so the utility will not work - so no good getting a USA based friend to send it to you as a file!). You can purchase (not expensive) a reset utility from such as:

To drain waste ink instead of getting the pads soaked, fit a waste bottle. here's a link to a youtube video explaining how. You can buy kits but all you need is a short length of tubing and a small glass bottle (don't use plastic as they can tip over too easily).

You should have indicated where in the World you live! If in the USA, you can get a free reset utility from Epson.com. If anywhere else, you will have to purchase one - not expensive. Go to this website: http://www.octoink.co.uk/pages/Waste-Counter-Reset.html and you will find them helpful and, as mentioned, inexpensive. All done over the internet. One thing to mention is that the waste ink pads will be full - so fit a waste ink drain. Plenty of info around - just needs a spare (preferably glass) jar (as has some weight) and some tubing - most tool-type/ironmongery shops will have this. You will find this info valuable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1cdvkJ-3Dc
Hi Mehrabmeh,
Run a cleaning page through it, from the printer control panel in windows
if that fails try running the printer head alignment program
check in your printer manual, you should find instructions on both in there
