Resetting Waste Ink Counter

gw1500se — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 16:06:28 GMT

I have tried every method I can find for resetting the waste ink counter and cannot get any of them to work (I wonder why there are so many). I have an iP1600 so can someone give me difinitive instructions on how to reset that counter? I currently have the green light go off then the amber light flashes 8 times, then the green light goes back on and the cycle starts again. It does not seem to effect printing so I assume it is just another waste ink mesasge. I just have to keep clearing the waste ink message every time I print. TIA.

Never mind. I came across an obscure note that worked. All the resume button pressing is apparently not necessary. The trick was to open the cover.

1) disconnect power and USB cables.

2) Open cover

3) Hold down power button and plug in power cable

4) Close door (a bit tricky to do while holding down the power button)

5) Release power button

6) Plug in USB cable

That is what worked for me.
