A Printer Error Has Occurred. Turn Off Printer From Power Supply

I've done all above but the 2 lights at the right hand side keep flashing. It was working perfect before this message came up and now says contact service centre. Contacting a service centre is a waste of time and money as printers cost less than £100 and they would charge at least that for a 2 year old machine

From what I have read, this appears to be due to an overheated printhead.

You may try cleaning the printheads with a cotton swab lightly dipped in alcohol (Printhead is the copper portion of the printer that you see once the ink cartridge has been removed) to see if this stops the overheating issue.

However, please be aware, IF the printhead has already burned out due to the overheating, then you would likely have to replace the burned out printhead (this part is usually around £45, not including labor).

If this is the case, and as you already stated, it may be best to purchase a new printer (especially if on sale).
