I have an Epson 2100 (known in the US as the 2200) which I think is the predecessor of the R2400. I think it took me about two years to fill the waste ink pads and I was not a particularly heavy user. I hope the 2400 provides better access to the pads. I had to download the service manual for the 2100 and do quite a lot of disassembly. I'm a real tinkerer (engineer by training) but I don't want to have to do that again. On mine you can reset the counter using the front-panel buttons. I don't remember the sequence but I have it stashed away in a filing cabinet somewhere. I really need to use my printer more. It tends to sit idle for long periods and I have a terrible time cleaning the heads as a result. Back when I used it more I found that doing one 8x10" print a week was enough to keep it running well.
