Another post suggests that you printer is dead -see (http://www.fixya.com/support/t354202-epsom_rx_425_just_prints_half_page) but I've had the same problem - things seem to be ok after I reset to the defaults in the main page of the printing preferences.

1. You text page is larger than the printer page,
   margins are set wrong, or there are special
   formatting marks and/or characters at the end
   of your documents.
   
   
2. Check default printer paper-size settings:
   
   START --> Printers & Faxes -> Chose printer -->
   right-click --> properties --> ....
   
   This sets the default settings, that are in effect every time
   an application starts up.
   
   Also note, that if printer settings are not listed within
   your START menu, you can find them in the Windows
   control panel. You can change what shows in the
   START menu and what doesn't by right-clicking the
   task bar.
   
   
3. Now start your application and do the same thing under
   the file menu:
   
   File --> Print --> Settings ...
   File --> Printer settings ...
   File --> Page setup .... and also margins. etc...
   
   This sets the actual settings for this application or the
   current document. These settings over-ride the global
   default setting in item (2)
   
4. To clarify, the settings in item (2) should be setup to
   reflect the way you use the printer the most often.
   
   The settings in item (3) reflect the actual document you
   are trying to print now.
   
   
5. Be careful that the paper size settings (3) accurately
   reflect the paper in the machine, do not confuse
   metric sizes: A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 ....
   
   with English sizes: Letter, Legal,..... etc
   
   These do not line up exactly.
   
   
6. Also check your document, to make sure that there
   are no extra characters at the end of your document:
   
   Paragraph marks, Page Brakes, Form Feeds, etc.
   
   Also check the paragraph settings (in Word for Windows,
   for example, to make sure that is not the cause of the
   problem.
   
   In word for Windows, for example, you can also go
   into tools, options and change the way your document
   is displayed, such that all formatting marks become
   visible (or click on the paragraph tool)
   
   
7. Finally, most Windows applications offer some kind
   of print PREVIEW facility, so that you can see what
   you are going to get, before you physically print it.

My Epson SX205 shows ink cartridges empty, when they are not and or does not recognise them as being compatible. Is there software available to over ride this problem

The default paper height is 12". If you want to change it to 11" you should refer to printer manual and follow the steps. Otherwise if you are using a software for printing. Ask your developer to give following command for setting paper height

Chr(27) + Chr(67) + Chr(0) + Chr(11)

SOURCE: red light stays on and printer won't print

clydeanrev, First cancel everything that is waiting to print. Go to printers and faxes, open Epson C60, click printer and cancel all documents. That should make your green light stop flashing and stay on. The red light staying on means paper ran out, ink ran out or paper is jammed. Take the paper out and put it back in. Take the ink cartridges out and put them back in.
