THE PRINTER PRINTS BLANK PAGES
If you haven't used your printer in a while, it's possible the print heads have become totally clogged (assuming you haven't already checked out the obvious things like ink levels etc.)I found that by removing the printhead (remove the ink carts, flip a lever and lift out) you can try spraying some window cleaner onto the nozzles on the underside, leaving a few minutes, and then get a bowl of hot tap water and touch the nozzles on the surface of the hot water.This will definitely help some 'soft' blocked nozzles. If you get SOME print action after this, then you know the problem is definitely clogged nozzles. However, if they're severely blocked, then you can find a print head cleaner kit online for about $10. It contains some cleaner fluid, a syringe and some pieces of clear hose that fit on the ink funnels on top. Then you can inject cleaning fluid into the nozzles. Did it for mine - worked a treat!BTW, the inkjet head is fairly watertight in itself - you can flush the nozzles under a hot tap no problem. DO MAKE SURE THE HEAD IS COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE YOU PUT IT BACK IN YOUR PRINTER!

To reset the pruge counter try this...
- Start with printer off
- Press and hold resume Button (triangle in the circle) and click "Power" button. Green led should be on
- While holding the Power button, release the Resume Button.
- Without releasing the Power Button, click "Resume" button for two times and release Both Buttons.
- Click "Resume" for four times then soon click "Power" button, to confirm the selected action (reset counter absorber).
- Turn off the printer and turn on again
This will however not clean the ink absorber that your printer believes is full. The estimate for how full the absorber is can be pretty generous so it is likely that you could print hundreds of pages before any ink overflows. It will however overflow eventually is not replaced but it can be a pretty involved proceedure. For example see
this video for a different printer.
