Printer needs a service...new ink pads for soaking up spent ink when cleaning heads, then needs to be reset...so look on epson website and place your postcode/zip code in for local dealer to replace pads and reset...then all should be ok..
Mick: Your normal remedy, is to replace the "Waste Ink Pad/Pads" with a new one/ones and then reset the "Internal Waste Ink Pad Counter". If you just reset the counter and don't replace the pads, then your printers old pads will eventually overflow and normally start leaking ink out the bottom of your printer. You can see "Exploded Parts Diagrams" of most epson ink jet printers and can also check on possible parts ordering, by Compass Micro Inc, at http://www.compassmicro.com/parts_select.cfm . Some people actually wash the ink out of the old pads, by holding them under running cold water. Then they simply dry them out and reinstall them back into their printer. The choice on what to actually do, is yours to make. I would at least recommend getting that Waste Ink Counter reset procedure and performing it first, to make sure your printer will then work...THIS ADDITIONAL INFO MIGHT ALSO BE OF SOME HELP: Tim H 12/10/2003 2:46:24 Subject: Epson Reset Program Download Location. after a long search for a reset program for waste ink, without paying, i found it. goto: http://inkjetprinterhelp.us/sscserve.exe . please check that your printer is compatible goto: http://inkjetprinterhelp.us/epsonSSC.html . this program has other features as well...Unfortunatly, that SSC Service Utility does not work on all epson printers and not on all operating systems and sometimes will not even work on actually listed printer models, so you will have to check it out for yourself. Just in case that source does not work: You may actually need to go on-line to try and locate a SERVICE MANUAL and or the actual RESET PROCEDURE, to buy and download for reference in disassembly, troubleshooting and servicing. There is an "Epson Stylus C60 Printer Information Page", that also includes the C44 series, that you can view at http://epsonhelp.freehttp.com/C60.html . It does have a section on the left side you can click-on, titled WASTE INK PAD SERVICING and also a section titled HOUSING REMOVAL, that will be of some help to you, if you want to try the needed servicing. However, you will still need to go on-line and buy and download the actual reset procedure, to clear the actual service error condition, if that SSC Service Utility does not work for you. You can also find most service adjustment programs/resets, as well as most actual service manuals, from 2manuals.com, at http://www.2manuals.com/index.php?cPath=1_56_50 ...Good Luck! Denny Conway
