The best way to fix this problem is to take the waste ink out of the printer, since it’s a burden of a job on these that also creates a mess. Get a large bottle and a cutoff valve to build a tank, and connect it to the printer with a vinyl tube and a cutoff valve so you do not have to rely on the saturated internal pad. You can also buy pre-assembled ones as well.

The other problem is the counter still needs to be reset. While the Epson tool has leasked for most old models, it has not yet for many newer ones. The official tool can be found [https://epson.com/Support/wa00819|here]. For printers without an official tool (or a limited run reset), you will need [https://www.wic.support/download/|WIC Reset (paid)].

Some of the older printers that predate the 88/69/68 cartridges have a internal reset command built into the printer and do not need a Windows reset where you hold the paper and ink buttons and then press the power buttons. None of the modern ones have it, but it isn’t consistent on which ones support it so software is a safer option unless you see it work again. The last models this is known to work on use the T048 cartridges.

The best way to fix this problem is to take a large bottle, a cutoff valve and vinyl tubing in place of the (now full) internal waste ink pad or buy one that's pre-built; either is fine. It isn't worth saving the pads because the process is difficult and messy.

The other problem is the counter still needs to be reset. While Epson has a tool for *most* older printers, some of the new models don't have an official tool, which can be found [https://epson.com/Support/wa00819|here]. For printers without an official reset from Epson (or in some cases, reset more then once), you will need to use a 3rd party tool (typically paid).

Some of the older printers that predate the 88/69/68 cartridges have a internal reset command built into the printer and do not need a Windows reset. None of the modern ones have it and the older ones can be a mixed bag but all support the software method. The last known printers to allow for a hardware are the T048 models.

Some of the older printers that predate the 88/69/68 cartridges have a reset command built into the printer that you initiate through the buttons on the front panel of the printer that are not dependent on a software reset. Generally speaking, newer models no longer have this option and software is required to do the reset. The last known printers to allow this software free reset are the T048 models.

The best way to fix this problem is to take a large bottle, a cutoff valve and some tubing to take the waste ink away from the printer itself as this is possible on the Epson printers; resetting the printer with a full pad isn't a good idea since you may overdo this and leak ink everywhere. With that being said, the waste ink still needs to be reset once you convert the printer. On some models you can do this through the control panel but generally speaking printers that are made after the T048 era require this be done in software. You will also need to regularly check this waste ink bottle and empty it once in a while, so it should be clear so you can check it quickly.
