Flashing Lights on a 3000 - Help!

Flashing Lights on a 3000 - Help!

2003-12-23 by ricm95901

One of our 3000s was printing fine and then all of a sudden after spitting out a print 
it shut down with the "ink out lights" flashing and the other panel lights on. I tried the 
reset button, unplugged the AC/cable, etc.

I think I read about this problem many months ago but can't seem to find anything in 
the archives.

Can anyone lend a hand?!?!

Thanks - Rick Murai
