Greetings,

This error typically indicates the Waste Ink Collection Pad is full.  This is not a user replaceable part.  If you have a printer repair shop nearby you can investigate repair.  If you do not, the cost to repair, and ship will exceed the replacement cost.  My recommendation: its time for a new printer.

Thank you for replying.  I'll investigate with a repair shop first.
