How to Fix "Ink Pad end of service life" on Epson EcoTank 2800 Printer 2023

[@covynnall]

To those of you getting rejected while reseting here's an option, Download drivers from EPSON support. (Mine was the ET-2800) Then try the reset again. Should work. (If you have the option to use USB instead of WiFi I recommend it. It may not be needed) In case the printer sat for a while due to this error and doesnt use ink when printing you may need to run a few power cleans via the printers maintenance options. I learned that the latest update causes the rejection due to drivers in some way.

[@mariesimmons2490]

I tried to do this and it’s saying my et-2800 isn’t compatible. I’m really needing to reset it but no luck on anything

[@covynnall]

@@mariesimmons2490 what specifically is saying that?

[@colleenhickey2509]

This program is not compatible with the epson 2850

[@covynnall]

@@colleenhickey2509 sorry to hear that, I'm afraid that this software may only be compatible with the base 2800 and maybe the second one in line which I don't know of the model. My commented guide was specifically based off the 2800

[@colleenhickey2509]

Yes the 2850 is not even in the list if you check the supported list mine isn't even there ..jeez ..I think it may be time for a new printer ..grrrrr lol

Same...

[@dawnhalligan]

Mine as well I tried to wire it but still no luck. Checked to make sure it was up to date and it is.

[@covynnall]

@@dawnhalligan I got mine to work. Here's what I did. After installing the printers drivers onto my computer (From EPSON support) I was able to reset the error with the key reset (has to be wired via USB). Printing worked then but I had a separate issue where it printed but no ink flow, but after about 7 power cleans via the maintenance options it started to print fine. TLDR Instal printer drivers Reset error via key reset 'Should' be good to go
