I suspect you had two problems that coincided.
The waste pad number was reached, and the carriage was not properly
lubricated, and so one confounded the other.
However, it is just possible that the manual reset didn't work several
times. Sometimes the button are a bit finicky and if you don't hold
them with enough pressure, they read as an intermitted press, which then
is either ignored, or send the wrong command.
I don't much like or trust the Russian program. It seems to not work as
often as it works, and since the coding was done by someone hacking
around I'm not sure it can be trusted 100% to function as stated. I
know of a few cases where people selected the wrong model and it did
something to the firmware or internal software which was not reversible
at a user level, at least.
But the good thing is you are up and running, and since Christmas is
over, you probably don't need the blinking lights anymore for decoration.
