Digital BW, The Print

I can't seem to Google the answer this.

My 1280 just started to flash the maintenance and power lights and the
utility on my mac will no longer communicate with the printer. 

I'm guessing it's the waste pad problem. How do I reset this printer?

Thanks,
Jim

I assume you mean procedure 3.

This does not work for me. The article mentions the "sheet feed
buttons." *Where are those?* I have a roll paper button, a maintenace
button, a power button and a cartridge change button.

I'm on a Mac so #4 if not an option.



Procedure 3 - for 1290 and possibly 890 printers

1290 printer with green (power / data) and red (ink / paper feed)
lights flashing alternately:

   1. Switch off printer with panel switch;
   2. Switch off printer at mains switch - leave off for 20+ seconds;
   3. Hold down roll feed and sheet feed buttons;
   4. Switch on at mains;
   5. Switch on at printer panel;
   6. Continue to hold down roll and sheet feed buttons until both
green and red lights flash together in synchronisation, not alternately;
   7. Switch printer off and then, after a few seconds, on again at
mains switch;
   8. When red and green lights are both flashing in synchronisation,
release the roll and sheet feed buttons;
   9. Press and hold down the ROLL FEED button (the one at the extreme
left) and keep it down until the machine finishes whirring, cleaning
etc and the green light comes on steady;
  10. Release the roll feed button and all should be well.

The three buttons on the bottom right front are from left to right:
