Hi, I just installed a given Stylus C46 and the green (power) and red (ink) led light alternativly. I try to print something and nothing happen... What can I do ?

This means that your waste pads are full and the printer needs to be reset with software email me and I will send you the software

may be you have to chang the ink

Check status monitor? Black ink not recognized or what? If not recognized, red light just on. But flashes? It's may ink nearly out (low level ink) or printer need service. Check it. using SSC utilty to resolve. Reset protection counter and clear counter overflow.

Basically your printer says that you need to replace the waste ink pads. If this happens for the first time to this printer you can just reset the counter using SSC Service Utility (http://www.ssclg.com/epson.shtml) or if it happened more than once you shoul first replace the ink pads and then reset the counter or the printer may overflow. That's it.

Print head is dead. Likely the end of your printers life.
