My xerox Phaser 8550 has steady orange light and a message in control panel screen saying "Low Ink" despite the fact each color has two brand new sticks. I tried clearing fault history, PS NVRAM, PE NVRAM, Set PE NVRAM to default, Resetting ink loader, resetting printer and restarting printer BUT the message still appears on control panel screen saying " Low Ink". Any idea or solution please??
It may be the cartridges are dried up from being stored incorrectly take them back get new ones to rule that out first !! Hope this helps!!

You need to run the eliminate light stripes. it should be in the menu, under troubleshooting, print quality issues. you can run this up to 3 times. you want the run the basic light stripes, not the advanced. If after 3 times running this, you are still missing jets, your printhead is bad. If you are using aftermarket ink, media sciences might cover the repair, if not, the printhead costs as much as a new machine. about $650+labor.

You don't have to take all the printer apart just the ink loader. Which is held mostly by the side covers. Get a flat head and break down the peaces left over on the cyan ink and flip upside down the ink loader and that should make it work again with no problem.

Your ink loader 133K25031 is probably bad.
Order that and see if that fixes it.

Try printing a light stripes test page
(Troubleshooting, print quality problems, troubleshooting print quality page).
If you have loads of missing jets, run a couple of head cleans, if you see
improvement, it is worth running some more, if not, try switching off
overnight and rebooting next day. If it still won't clear, you may have a
faulty printhead.
If you do not appear to have many missing jets but the colours are all just wrong
it may be that the ink has gone stale. Run a couple of head cleans and you should
see the colours start to improve. If it is getting better, all you can do is keep
running head cleans until you have replenished all the ink in the printhead well.
Hope this helps.
