I'm not a 100% sure but I think the Epson printers have some kind of counter. They count how many pages you have printed and "expire" when you reach the preset limit. Our C45 with CIS, expired after printing a lot of pages. We were able to reset it using a link provided by a fellow tsikoter. Its now working again.

The symptom was 2 blinking lights. One green and one red, if memory serves. And it will not print.
