@Edysing: That indicates the waste ink pads have reached what the printer considers to be saturation point.

The solve this you need to download the SSC utility from here

Note: Make sure you're using a Windows XP machine (it won't work with Vista or Mac)

Install the utility as normal and then configure it via the configuration tab to your R230 printer and the appropriate printer model "Epson Stylus Photo R220/R230"

Then:

  • Close the utility and locate the little printer icon in your system tray (bottom right corner of screen)
  • Right click on this icon and scroll up to "Protection Counter"
  • Click on the "Reset Protection Counter"
  • Locate and click on the "Clear counter overflow" option too
  • Now turn off your printer, wait a few seconds and then turn it back on again
You should now find your printer has reset the waste ink counter and you can printer again.

With that done you should then decide how to redirect your waste ink to an external tank.

Google can help with a few kits out there or you can always find instructions for creating your own...

DO NOT ignore the waste ink issue though as the pads will become oversaturated and leak ink if you leave the issue unresolved.

Hope that helps.

My Epson Stylus R230 has both red lights blinking alternately

Your printer has reach its maximum count of cleaning and printing. This need to be reset using epson adjustment program. But before resetting make sure that you have replace the waste pad inside your printer or it is much better to point outside the hose where the waste ink goes out.
