epson "con", printer fixer

[mort]

Just found a program which fixes "dead" epson printers, after x amount of uses the epsons have a built in couter which says the printer has failed and will need repair or replacing on the monitor on windows, 99% of the time it is fine and just a ruse to make you buy a new machine GGGGRRRRR, I feel sorry for bods who give it to a epson repair centre and get fleeced with a repair bill which is none other than a program to reset the printed page counter!

Obviously I cannot vouch the program is virus free as it is from Russian website (obviously not on epsons Customer site as it would save customers money! but have heard of other users who have applied it and fixed their faulty units and it is used by epson authorised repair centres via the trade/internal site .May save money at work if you use epson printers there also.

Its actually a counter to have the ink pads replaced!!

just reset the counter (with said proggy) and all will be fine (except sooner or later ink pads will overflow and el..leako!!)
