probably cannot do this as printing with out ink can damage the printer head if the cartridge is empty , it is empty so replace the cartridge and reset it

This sounds like a fax error, such as the phone line dropped, the remote system hung up. or something like that.

Bad printer head or cartridge

remove cartidge- using a flashlight look at its "seat " in printer- sounds like you have a dust bunny- clean with q-tip

Unfortunately this is a known issue with these printers and caused by faulty printer manufacture.
You can see what I mean if you do a search on Youtube to find videos like this:

The only solution is to contact Epson and get a replacement, assuming they'll honour their responsibility.

Depends on what you mean by "reset".
If you're referring to the waste ink counters, you can either:

1. Locate a copy of the AdjProg service utility and use that to reset the waste counters
   Note: Will not work on MacOS or Windows 8
   
   ... or...
   
   
2. Download the WICReset (for windows) or iWIC (for MacOS) and purchase a WICReset key to reset the waste ink counter that way.
   
   

Whatever you do, remember that resetting doesn't deal with the waste ink inside the pads so you should be looking at changing the pads (not easy to do yourself) or fitting an external waste ink tank like a printer potty.
