Re: All lights are blinking, nothing is jammed. I also...
I reset the ink pad counter with the ssc utility, and that didn't work. Then I downloaded Epson's own reset utility directly from Epson, and reset the counter with that. Problem solved!

keenepadgl, "Contact service engineer" for a C60 used to be all you could do. Now you can go to SSC Service Utility and download it. But the red light blinking (if that is all that is happening) simply means you have a ink cartridge that is low but not empty. If the red light stays on, then it means a ink cartridge is empty. By downloading SSC Service Utility you can solve about any problem you have with a C60. That's what the "Service Engineers" use. Check out the protection counter reset in SSC, that is the main reason people had to send their C60s to have serviced., and what service would do is press the reset button in SSC program. NOTE: I would go to inkmizer and get some cleaning fluid instead of nail varnish remover.
What about status monitor? Need service? End life service? Lights blink alternately? You may need to reset waste ink counter. Use SSC utilty. Try to find at indoreset.blogspot.com.
This message indicates that your waste ink pads are full and require replacing. Replacement is costly, messy and requires the printer to be taken completely apart. Most often the counter has "jumped" to the end of life number, this especially happens where 3rd party or refilled inks have been used. If you believe this to be the case and there is no sign of ink leakage and the pads look fairly clean then you can just reset the counter using special software called the SSC utility.

More information about this issue and the "official" Epson resetter is available from the Epson web site, please read this link: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/InkPadsForm.jsp
Please take a moment to rate this solution. Thanks.
You need to reset the waste tank or the counter to resolve the problem.
If your C42 blinks both lights and displays a message to the effect that parts inside your printer have reached the end of their servicable life, then you probably need to clean the waste ink pads. These pads collect waste ink whenever the printer cleans it's heads. The printer counts how much ink it thinks is in the waste ink pads and refuses to print when they are full.
install it set for r230 then using the tray icon right click the tray icon choose protection counter from the menu then choose reset protection counter then turn off the printer then turn the printer back on
