Epson D120 "Service required"



Hi. I have an Epson D120, just over a year old. The status monitor is
showing the message " Service Required. Parts inside your printer are
near the end of their service life. See your printer documentation.

That says "The waste ink pad in the printer is saturated. Contact your
dealer to replace it."

After reading in here, and googling, I presume this is really a counter
on a chip causing the message.

Any ideas how to get rid of it?

The SSC Service Utility doen't recognise the printer. There doen't seem
to a front panel reset option documented anywhere


I'm in the UK, BTW.
