They seem to be in cahoots with "printer potty", which I am happy to buy because it works forever. In any case, the WICReset process must have been reverse-engineered from proprietary Epson software, so I consider doing the same to them fair game. I would be happy to sign a waiver before pressing that button.

I kind of understand why they didn't: it would most likely result in a bunch of unhappy customers with a puddle of ink on their floor. Presumably adding a 'reset waste ink counter' button would have been trivial. Many new printers have a removable waste ink tray which would eliminate the need for a "printer potty" hack, and I'm hoping that this will become mandatory as "right to repair" laws evolve.Įpson has kindly provided drivers and management software that let me flush the nozzles and print a test pattern. $9.99 only looks good in comparison to the hassle of taking the printer to Epson for "servicing". No, it's not a good deal! I own the hardware, so I should be able to reset it myself for free.
