Thanks for your help Tony.
Is it common for both red lights flash (both ink button and paper feed button) after the "Requires service" warning shows?

If they are blinking alternately, yes this is normal for this condition. If they are blinking in unison (ie both on at the same time) then that is a different error.

Hey measly, your stuff is coming across as FULL CRAP.
The formatting, I mean. I can't speak to the content, because it apparently has no content.
