John, I believe the problem is that the printer thinks the ink absorption pads are full and it refuses to print more before they are replaced (trying to prevent overflow). These are quite easy to replace. I think you may even find the printer service manual pdf floating around the net someplace, where you can find the instructions on how to reset the counter and make the printer know the pads have been replaced.
