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.
