Press Stop/Reset button for five second. After all your printer will start working.... thanks....

5 flashes indicates a faulty printhead or possibly a problem with the p/head contacts. Try removing the head which is easier if you take the cartridges out first(no tools required) and re-seat it having checked the contacts for dirt.

If that doesn't work it may be that the waste ink tank is full. Try this ...
1. Turn off printer
2. Hold down Resume button and press Power button.
3. Keep holding down Power button and let Resume button go.
4. Press Resume button 2 times then let BOTH buttons go.
5. Green lights will flash and then stop blinking.
6. When green lights are solid, press the Resume button 4 times.
7. Press the Power button and the printer should turn off, if not, press the Power button once more.
8. Your printer should respond as normal.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it and give a testimonial for my response

Thanks, Joe

Turn the printer off.
Press down the ink button and the paper button at the same time and turn the printer on (while keeping them pressed down)
After a second or two, the red paper light should start flashing.
Immediately release the buttons and press and hold the paper button again. Keep the paper button down for about ten seconds and release. After a second or two, the printer should go back to it's normal state.
Please try this and reply me for further doubts.
Regards, Nandini.
