All lights flashing on epson stylus cx3600

The flashing green light on your Epson Stylus CX3600 printer is indicating an error with the ink system. The error message you mentioned, "not to press the ink button unless the green light is on and not flashing", is likely referring to the ink button that is located on the side of the printer and is used to reset the ink levels.
To resolve the issue with the flashing green light, try the following steps:

1. Turn off the printer: Turn off the printer and disconnect it from the power source.
2. Clean the ink cartridges: Remove the ink cartridges from the printer and clean the contacts with a soft, damp cloth. Make sure not to touch the ink nozzles or the copper contacts.
3. Check for clogs: If the problem persists, check the ink cartridges for clogs and clean the print head.
4. Reinstall the ink cartridges: Reinstall the ink cartridges into the printer, making sure that they are properly seated.
5. Turn on the printer: Connect the printer to the power source and turn it on.
6. Check the green light: Observe the green light and make sure it is no longer flashing

then turn off your printer without putting back the cartridges... (leave it turned off for 5 minuets)

Epson CX3600- 8 FLASHING LED`s and Error code

Every time an Epson printer "cleans" itself, it dumps ink into "waste pads". The printer counts up how much ink it has put in those waste pads, and will stop printing when it believes the pads are full. You may be able to reset the counter with software. Google, "epson waste counter reset" for ways to do that.

i have installed the drivers but its saying drivers have been deleted?

this sounds like ur both cartridges are empty...

Hi, its the print heads are clogged up, couple of things to try, head cleaning would be the first option, right click on your printer status program ie on the bottom right of the screen the small icon, and you should find maintenance or head cleaning, try doing this a few times, print something out see if any change, if still no success, change the ink cartridge, if still no success last try would be http://www.supermediastore.com/cleaning-cartridge.html its a head cleaning cartridge to try and clean the blocked print head, if none of the above work you would be better replacing the printer as epson charges £75 + vat to repair any printer, the last time i tried to buy print heads at trade they were about £48+vat & delivery and is really a nightmare to fit with epson,most new epson printers seem to only last about 15 months on average but its the amount of money you can save through using compatible ink, as we only sell epson printers ourselfs and this happens with 99% of returned printers..

Happy New Year

John

actually, all you did was correct.

if it´s not the unit - hopefully the cartridges
call EPSON - prepare the date of purchase / place of purchase of the inks
