Hi Ronni I have two Epson inkjet printers (R230 and R2400) that at different times required ink pad replacement and resetting.
Rather than do that, which is an inconvenience and an ongoing expense, I re-routed the overflow ink tubes (1 on the R230, 2 on the R2400) out the back of the printers and into containers I could seal. I used freely available reset software (Windows only) to reset the overflow counter and now I don't ever have to worry about ink pads again. I just empty the container when it gets too full (hasn't happened yet) and reset the counter when it next reaches its limit. It was a relatively simple process and although I did have to drill a small hole in the printer for the tubing, it took only a short time to complete. What I find puzzling is why this isn't built into each new printer.
