• 6 Answers SOURCE: Here's 3 things you can do to get around this.depending if your printer is new and still under warranty or not (do NOT void your warranty!). I have used all 3, but the third one was a lifesaver (AND money-saver!).

About once a year I have to reset the printer using #2, but other than that.#3 is the greatest!!! Try resetting it by, unplugging the power cord then while holding down the POWER STOP and MAINTENANCE buttons simultaneously while replugging the power cord caused a reset to zero on the counter. You will still have to replace the pads or redirect the waste ink tube to a receptacle on the outside of the printer, hope this helps? Canon Camera Sx260hs Manual. If you go to inkjetprinterhelp.us there you will find the ssc service utility.

INSTALL AN EXTERNAL WASTE TANK and forget all about those gunky ink pads forever! On the left rear of these printers is a small trapdoor held by a single screw. Remove it, look inside (down and to your left) and you'll see the waste ink tube. The tube is free at one end, and with a suitably curved piece of wire you can hook it and wangle the end out through the opening (you may dislodge a small piece of plastic in the process -- just put it back where it was, it's only a vibration damper.) I found the tube to be rather short.so I added an extension since I do not have room directly behind my printer for a container. I used the tubing you use with oxygen tanks or fish tank bubblers. They also make a little plastic connector so you can join the two together.

At this point, you're almost there. All you need now is a suitable container for the waste ink, and I drilled a small hole in the trapdoor cover so you can put it back on without pinching the tube (or you could just leave it off.) The container is a small square one with a snap-on lid, approx. 60mm square and holding about 150ml -- they're sold in sets of three for a few cents and are for making ice-blocks etc. In your freezer.

Any small container will work. Make a hole in the lid (slightly larger than the tube to let air escape) insert the tube and forget about the internal pads forever. I've had mine in place for almost 2 yrs now and it works like a charm. If you need photos, let me know and I have a couple I can send you. Posted on Jul 01, 2008.

Epson printer are generally capable of upwards of 3 to 10 years or service with minimal care unless the printer is being hammered 24/7 with almost constant printing, which is very unlikely.

Waste pads however are an achilles heel that do need some form of action to either replace or work-around to resolve. The options available are either: 1. Go to a service centre where it is indeed prohibitively expensive to have the printer disassembled to replace the pads and have the waste counter reset. Get an external waste ink kit to redirect any waste ink to an external tank (it doesn't remove the current pad contents) and obtain the relevant tool (either a compatible AdjProg service program) or WICReset tool with a key (one needed per reset) so you can reset the printers internal waste ink counter. The cost of the latter option is around 20-25(GPB) total (including shipping) so compared to the tooth sucking Epson Customer 'Care' option it's not exactly rocket science as to which is more cost effective.

Please ignore the rubbish about other parts being near the end of their service life.
