You need to reset the waste ink counter. Find SSC service Utility/R220/r230 or adjusment program

SOURCE: two red light blinking

Do you see any flag message like " end of service life-------". You should find a resetter for the printer, its a utility program.

Or its a paper jam, or dirty ink chip connector.

Run SSC. Menu Configuration. Select installed printer. Select printer mode to Epson R220/230. Close dialog box by clicking cross sign at top right of dialog box. Icon will show at bottom right of dekstop. Right click, select protection counter. Show current value for checking waste ink counter. Click Reset protection counter. Turn off printer. Turn on again. Usually SSC doesn't work at Vista.

2 red lights are blinking!!!!!

is both the light blink the same time or blink alternate ? if blink the same time, it's probably a fatal error..
if blink alternately then the waste ink counter need to be reset and the waste ink pad need to be replaced.

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.

You need to reset waste ink counter. Use SSC Utility or R230 Adjusment program. Find at indoreset.blogspot.com. Don't forget to replace waste ink pad, or just extend outlet pipe of head cleaning mech to outside bottle.
