If you see this error: “Ink Waste Pad is Full” or "Service Required, Printer Parts are at the end of service life",
or your lights are flashing on your Epson printer.
Every time your Epson printer performs a head clean, waste ink is channeled into a waste pad at the bottom of your printer. A counter records this and after so many head cleans, the printer firmware will “stop the printer from working”
You will have to take your printer to a Epson service center to have the Waste ink pads replaced and the counter reset to zero. This will cost from $50 - $300. (depending on model) If you use your printer a lot, this will happen quicker than you would expect.
