Although I'm rusty on the specifics, there is or was an "end of life" light flashing signal on at least some Epson printers. I had this happen and found a reset program on the web. It worked. That said, the bottom of the printers, which act as waste tanks in these desktop units, can hold only so much ink. I think soon after I did this a second time and tried to move the printer ink ran out of the printer seams and made a mess when I tried to move it.

Thank you for your responses. I think I can rule out the firmware revision possibility.
I tried turning off the machine and letting it sit unplugged for a few hours. Then I started it with no cartridges in it, which is supposed to force it to reset all of its level indications. Before putting in the MIS cartridges, I refilled them. (They were nearly all empty and I had yet to print a single page!) I hit the ink button and the printer parked the head as it should. I loaded the six, full MIS cartridges. The printer went through its normal post cartridge change cycle and then went into the locked-up condition with both the ink and paper jam lights flashing together.The problem persists.
