epson printer lights flashing alternatly

[Toon_Tori]

Our printer doesn't work at all - the red and green lights are flashing alternately - all the epson website tell me is that I need technical support - well no sh*t sherlock!

It's an epson stylus C44UX - does anyone have any advice??  Oh and I'm on Win 2000, in case it makes a difference.

Hope someone can help, I need the printer desperately and am on the verge of having to go & buy a new one

Not user servicable, so if uninstalling and reinstalling the printer software doesn't get it, you need to head to the shop or the store.

Most likely problems are:

• paper out
• paper jam
• toner/ink out
• print head jammed
• communication error

...in that order.  You should be able to fix the first three.  You may be stuck with the last two - but try switching off and on again (unplug the power lead completely).
