What does the error say?Does it say this:"A printer error has occurred, see documentation"

Epson programmed their printer to monitor the waste ink counter andyour printer has reached the maximum value allowed, you have to resetyour printer to clear the waste ink counter.

You may read the information regarding "end of life" and "waste ink counter" here: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/InkPadsForm.jsp

To reset the counter, download re-setter program here, install and follow the instruction in the web site.

general error 
see your printer 
ducumenation for information about clearing the error

First see if their is a newer driver available, then  Reinstall your printer and software. This is the printer model I am presently using. If this doesn't cure the problem write back, ok? 

Hi Anna,

After doing some searching, this was the best I could come up with:

Turn off printer

Press and hold 'stop' 'maintenance' and 'power' buttons for about 10 seconds. A message will appear on the screen. power off and back on for reset

Allegedly, this is a pre-set maintenance routine epson implements as a service reminder...though I could not confirm this one way or another. I hope this works for you, as the epson website seemed to be utterly useless in finding a suitable resolution.

Good Luck,
Jem
