    Hi guys,
    My epson R300 keeps now showing me a major error when i switch it on.
    I have done the old waste ink pad trick and added a bottle to the rear of the printer to catch the waste ink now and I have reset the counter using the SSC Service utility.

    This worked on my R200 last year...

    But STILL I cant get past this error on my R300...

    Any ideas people.??????????
    Cheers

    I had this problem last year this is what I did and it fixed it.

    The first thing I did was to take a paper towel and blot the ink from the waste trays. Then I turned the printer off, pressed stop then maintenance and power holding all three down simultaneously until a message appears to turn the printer off to reset. Turn the printer off then back on and you should be good to go. Hope it helps.

    Kind regards,
    Oraya
