Regarding my EP 1200 going crazy I recieved the following instructions from EP tech support. It didn't help in my case but, who knows, it might be helpful for some one else's problems: 

To reset the Stylus Photo 1200, please try the following.  

WARNING: 

By performing this ROM Reset, it may reset the ink monitoring system of  some printers.  The status monitor will show full ink levels instead of  the actual level of ink remaining in the ink cartridges.  You will  eventually run out of ink and your printer will not be able to give you  an advance warning until you replace the ink cartridges again. 

ROM RESET  

Please do the following steps to resolve your issue: 

1. Turn the printer off using the power button on the panel of the  printer. 2. Disconnect the interface cable at the back of the printer. 3. Hold down the "LOAD/EJECT" and "CLEANING" buttons simultaneously. 4. Turn the printer on.  Release all buttons as soon as paper out light  flashes. 5. Quickly press the "LOAD/EJECT" button while paper out light is  flashing. 6. Release the button and the printer will initialize. 7. Once initialization is complete, turn the printer off. 8. Reconnect the interface cable. 9. Turn the printer on and try to print a document.
