I get five amber flashes. I have reinstalled the printhead and tried resetting the printer by disconnecting it for at least 10 min. Neither of these does any good. Although, I did manage to reset it once and it worked for a couple of print jobs and then began blinking again. I don't think there is anything wrong with the printer except it seems to want to cut out to this error message and then it won't function.
Please is there ANY person who can help with this problem. Cancelling the printing and turning the printer off and back on does not help. What else can I do. Thanks. Louise
