Sad to say I know how to fix this.
1. Power up the printer
2. set printer's date to the current day.
3. On the keypad press the * and # keys together
Now press one at a time 1,2,3 for the code
"screen stould display a white backround with 2 lines of info"
4. remove all the print cartridges
5. Press the >> arrow button twice until "reset menu" is found
6. Press OK
7. Select Partially full reset Press ok
( the printer will take almost to minutes before it powers down)
8. Power up the printer and follow the steps.
reinstall ink ect......

I don't know why this happens but I sure a lot of printers are in the trash because of this. If you print out a SELF TEST REPORT the
dates on the age of the ink Cartridges are likely out of life range.
Planned obsolescence by HP can be found all over the web. This could be one of those.

Press the helpfull Thanks!!!!

Yes, but you will need to upgrade the printer's version to the latest version. Go to http://www.kobisonline.com/Sony-SnapLab-UPCR10L-Snap-Lab-Digital-Photo-Printer-UP-CR10L_p_9.html for the firmware upgrade link

Sounds like your SnapLab's power supply is dead. You will have to send to repair, or order the part and replace yourself (if you think you are qualified to do that yourself...)

reset your printer, you exceed the maximum printing limit. just reset it by downloading res-setter on the web

There is probably nothing wrong with the printer, but it may not be be receiving all the dope it needs. Usually the printer needs a CR/LF signal at the end of the file to print. If it doesn't get that it will assume that it hasn't got all the file and will hang. This may be a setting in the application producing the file, or a setting on the printer itself (i.e needing either a full CR/LF signal or just one of these). Don't like the idea that it doesn't print its own test page though....

Do you have a message on your screen ??? Try printing a document or opening the print manager and see the error message - that looks like a maintenance error when your pads need to be serviced after a set number of prints.

Press the button to set the carriage in ink change position - while your carriage is in the ink change position UNPLUG YOUR PRINTER.

ONce printer unplugged from electrical wall socket - remove all carts, and then place them back one by one making sure you use the right color for the right slot - make sure they snap in securely, close the latch.

Now plug in your printer and wait for the initialization process and see if this works....

If you still get the blinking lights, you will need to locate the error message - your printer pad counter has reached its maximum and it needs to be serviced and reset.

There are reset software out there, but you need to change the pads or divert the tube to a tank outside your printer.

In the printer software there is a counter that after printing a certain amount of pages (depending of the printer model) will display the error message and block all printing. The solution is to reset the counter to 0.
Download the http://www.ssclg.com/download/sscserve.exe (its free) once download completed click on the sscservve.exe to launch the setup of SCC service utility. When you close the program, a printer icon should appear on you taskbar.
Using the application:
Right click on the printer icon:
Among the different options provided select the Protection counter option.
Select the Show current value option. You should obtain information about the current value (number of pages already printed) and maximum value.
If the current value is greater than the maximum value, this indicates that the problem is due to the number of pages already printed.
Reselect the Protection counter option, click on the Reset protection counter and then on Clear Counteroverflow option.
The current value should be reset to 0
Restart your PC , your problem should be solved.

The printer is probably damaged, so, call Sony tech at 1-800-883-6817 x21 . If they will not be able to trouble shoot the problem, they will direct you to the repair facility. You have 1 year warranty on this printer if purchased from an authorized Sony dealer.
Good luck!
