The red light on my Epson L110 printer started blinking. Printer status monitor indicated "It is time to reset the ink level". Tried pressing the ink button for a couple of seconds didn't work. Neither are the inks are abnormally low.

Here's the simple fix:

1. Power off the printer.
2. Put 1 bond paper on the loading tray.
3. Press both Power Button and paper feed or ink button 15sec.
4. After 15sec release power button and paper feed or ink button.
5. Paper feed or ink button with Orange light will steady while the power button will be blinking.
6. Now press once the paper feed or ink button with orange light and it will print a test print.
