how can i get my epson cx5200 working again?

I need to thank somebody, on this thread I believe, for advice that flat-out worked, but I can't find your post to identify you. Do hope you see this or that someone passes it along to you. I had struggled doggedly but unsuccessfully to get my excellent little old Epson Stylus Color 670 back in service after washing the waste ink pads. You said WITH THE PRINTER OFF, PRESS THE PAPER AND INK BUTTONS, THEN POWER ON ... HOLD THE PAPER AND INK BUTTONS UNTIL THE PAPER LIGHT ONLY FLASHES ... THEN PRESS AND HOLD THE INK BUTTON UNTIL IT RESETS (ABOUT 10 SECONDS). It worked! Let me know if you see this.
