  | The company I work for service printers [ ... ].
  | I have come across this problem [ ... ] and it requires
  | a good amount of work to fix.  [ ... Cleaning the pads

  | printers are notoriously hard to take apart.
  | Best of luck!

 thanks for the warning, and also for the
 tip to try cleaning the pads.

 however, until I can reset the printer,
 I won't be trying to replace/clean the
 pads at all --- according to the Google
 results, the printer is "dead" and will
 stay dead (no matter what) until reset.

 so until I can kick it back into life,
 both dismantling the printer to get at
 the pads, and any cleaning/replacing of
 the pads, is quite pointless.

  |   ①  [ any hints about replacing the waste ink pads ]
  |     on any Epson inkjet printer?  [ ... ]
  | 
  |   ②  does anyone know how to magically reset any Epson
  |     printer?  [ ... ]

 any clews about reseting the printer
 would be vastly appreciated.

cheers!
