Goodluck

By the way emptying the waste bin needs disassembling of the unit then washing the ink foam.

    Ok maybe i have to elaborate it further. The link I gave you, is info
    for resetting the printer counter. Manually or by software, the warning
    thing is maybe epson way of ensuring its products error free
    performance.



    And since this warning pre equate with the ink tank if ever it will
    overflow. If you want it to be sure. There's two screws on either side
    or bottom of it, also prying two notch clip in front to oven the top
    cover. You should do this if no power and data cable is attached to it.



    Underneath is ink park, there's a tube going to the bottom with three
    layered foam. You can take it out, rinse it with water, dry it then put
    it back again, top cover then screw. Test it again



    You should reset the printer's counter also.

Epson C46 colour printer green and red lights are flashing....but

Basically your printer says that you need to replace the waste ink pads. If this happens for the first time to this printer you can just reset the counter using SSC Service Utility (http://www.ssclg.com/epson.shtml) or if it happened more than once you shoul first replace the ink pads and then reset the counter or the printer may overflow. That's it.

Epson C45(Red and Green light flashing alternately)

The waste ink collector pads are getting full and this is a protection indicator.
Either get the machine serviced or it may be cheaper to replace it-[depending where you live]
There are tricks to keep the machine going- but eventually the you will get ink leaking all over the place.
